바지를 거꾸로 입게 만들었던 Kris Kross의 jump

지금으로부터 약 2년전 '점프(Jump)'란 곡으로 선풍적인 인기를 끌었던 랩 듀오 '크리스 크로스(Kris Kross)'의 멤버 크리스 켈리(34)가 사망했다. 크리스 크로스는 90년대 초 래퍼이자 음반 프로듀서인 저메인 듀프리가 발굴한 랩 듀오로 거꾸로 입고 나온 옷 덕분에 한국 사람들중 젋다고 생각하는 상당수가 거꾸로 입고 다니기 시작했다. 화장실의 이용이 불편하고 그런 문제는 다른 문제였다.

 

청바지를 엉덩이에 걸칠 정도로 내려 입거나 옷을 거꾸로 입는 등의 패션은 신선한 충격을 주었던 것은 사실이다. 다른 노래들은 별로..좋다고 느끼지는 못했는데 jump는 한동안 많이 들었던 기억이 난다. 묘하게 서태지와 아이들이 인기를 끌때와 그 시기를 같이했었다.

 

 

Jump라는 곡만 히트시킨 이후 그 인기는 계속 유지하지 못한채 1990년대 대중들의 기억속에서 사라져갔다.
