If you're asking about adult men, it's because so many of them have bellies, so they get their pants to fit under the belly. For young men, especially young men of color, it started in prisons and juvenile detention facilities. They didn't have enough small-sized pants for the increasingly younger inmates so the kids' pants were way too big. As often happens, this prison reality turned into a fashion choice because it gives perceived street "cred" and/or coolness factor to the wearer.

Some guys wear their pants low as a fashion statement or to express their personal style. Others may do it for comfort or ease of movement. It has evolved into a popular trend in some cultures and subcultures.
