Chaps are also popular in fetish fashion and the
leather subculture, where they often are tightly fitted and worn without jeans
or other garments layered beneath them other than a codpiece. They can be made
of leather, patent leather, or vinyl and are worn for decoration serving no
protective purpose. Worn in this manner, they are colloquially referred to as
"assless" chaps, despite the redundancy of the term.
Village People is an American disco group well known
for their on-stage costumes depicting American masculine cultural stereotypes
as well as their catchy tunes and suggestive lyrics. Originally created by
Jacques Morali and Henri Belolo to target disco's gay audience by featuring popular
gay fantasy personae, the band quickly became popular and moved into the
mainstream. The group scored a number of disco and dance hits, including
"Macho Man", "Go West", the classic club medley of
"San Francisco (You've Got Me) / In Hollywood", "In the
Navy", and their greatest hit, "Y.M.C.A.". They have sold more
than 100 million records worldwide.
The original Village People didn't wear assless chaps,
that was our innovation.
