Why are so many ghetto people wearing...?

Why are so many ghetto people wearing Aeropostale, American Eagle,Hollister,etc. I mean I'm black and I wore all that while they were still wearing there jeans to their ankles and wearing those sloppy big oversized t shirts. All though I now only wear Abercrombie and Fitch since it seems they don't wear that. I also now wear Lacoste,Armani Exchange and most brands that they don't. I mean I used to get made fun of made fun of by all these people for wearing such brands. Yet they wear it!
