Besides being our personal highlight for the year 2013, and besides making the word #HAVOC one of the most popular hashtagged word in Malaysia, it looks like Joe Flizzow has also made something else a trend, the “Seluar Mambang”!
“Tak naik collar, kita tak pakai beg sandang. Lu pakai seluar jeans? Gua pakai seluar mambang”
From the Bahasa Malaysia Wikipedia, we are told that Mambang is a type of Spirit / Ghost / Entity / Genie. And judging from the lyrics above we guess Joe was doing a play of words between Jeans = Jin and hence the word mambang was used. Probably the nearest English word for Seluar Mambang would be Genie Pants. And now there is a brand called “Seluar Mambang” selling seluar mambangs!
So to answer the question whether or not the Seluar Mambang really does exist? YES! Don’t believe us? Check out their Facebook page and Instagram ( @seluarmambang ) to see for yourself.
What do you guys think of the Seluar Mambang trend? Yay or Nay?
