They keep the nails on their other fingers quite short, but leave the pinkies to grow up to an inch long.
Why why why?

I know that in many asian cultures having long nails used to mean you are of the 'upper class' because you didn't have to do manual labour and CAN grow your nails long (same thing with being light skinned, the lighter your skin was the less time you spent outside in rice paddies or digging in the dirt). It's not as socially acceptable, especially for guys, to have all long nails now, but some still do it as a style thing. Although there is probably a lot to be said for the drug theory, too!

I saw a guy who let the nail on his pinkie finger grow long and then he filed it to a point and he did finger paintings. When he needed to draw a fine line he would use the nail on his pinkie finger. It was actually pretty cool and the paintings were gorgeous.

its something that was started a couple of decades ago...people would grow out their pinky nails long to ...well um... dip it into cocaine and then they would bring their pinky to under their nostril and snort the cocaine. i think now people do it for the look of what it symbolizes- doing cocaine. others do it cause well they do cocaine

I know a lot of goths that do that. Reason for that, I dont know.
The only thing I knew it was for, was for snorting cocaine. Just scoop it up into their nail and snort it up. Its kind of like a spoon.

I'm a guy, and personally, I don't like long nails. I know a lot of like very long, painted nails cause they're "so pretty", but I don't like them.

A little bit of toenail is fine... but I agree along with you. Long nails are kinda low.

I did it just because it gets in the way less by being long compared to other nails.

Same here! I grow them all until I watch a really good scary film, then the little ones are the only ones that survive!

I have heard some do it because they use that fingernail as a coke(cocaine) spoon.
