How much black do Nicaraguans and Hondurans and Salvadorians have?

[RMuller]

You're delusional

Cholo culture, sag their pants, wear head bandanas, wear lots of jewlery,

Are into g funk rap ( which is gangster-funk music). And typically try to press about being hard. And rep a set.

Aside from that, mod cars to be low riders. And do street parades of low riders while hanging out and drinking alcohol.

Lowriders was invented by Chicanos and blacks in the west coast copied the cholo style,khakis,white t shirts,bandanas, pendeltons etc.

NWA dressing like cholos


Blacks copied Chicanos in wearing pendelton's to
If blacks had "good hair" they would have copied the cholo style of combing their hair slick back lol


Chicanos CHOLOS 1970'S

You live in the East Coast you don't know the history.

The move surprised some, but it shouldn’t have. Like most African Americans in South Central Los Angeles at the time, Eazy-E couldn’t help but be influenced by Mexican American culture. He fashioned Cascade shirts. He dabbled in Spanglish. And in his music videos, he paid homage to Los Angeles’s roaring lowrider scene—a scene popularized by Mexican American Pachucos decades earlier.

They wear baggy pants, shirts that are large on them.

And super big shorts that can reach halfway between their ankles and knee.

How Chicano Culture Inspired West Coast Denim Style

In 1994, Nigeria-born, New Jersey-raised photographer Chi Modu captured legendary rapper Eazy E in the streets of his local neighbourhood: Compton, LA. Posing with his vintage 1964 Chevrolet Impala, Eazy E is dressed in a crisp Compton snapback with dark visor shades, a black shirt and a pair of baggy, raw 501 jeans that are freshly pressed with front centre crease. While Eazy’s look is signature to the West Coast gangster style that he and the rest of his Compton group NWA brought into the mainstream during the 90s, a closer look at some of the details reveals a deeper lineage to Chicano street culture in LA. Take for instance the loc sunglasses, a style worn by Mexican American street gangs, or the blackletter typeface or Gothic lettering that adorns his cap; a trademark renowned for being adorned on memorial garbs created by Chicano communities in LA. And the pressed baggy jeans? They’re also part of the Chicano uniform that traces all the way back to the ’30s-’40s.

The truth is Chicano motifs have long been implemented into West Coast style; a look that has permeated popular culture and reached runways and clothing racks around the globe. From budding labels to high fashion houses, many industry players have more or less leeched off the subculture that was initially spawned from social oppression



lmaooo he dresses like a cholo even his black shinny shoes are used by chicano gangs lol and the lowrider car was created by Chicanos not by African-Americans

Chicano streetwear specialist Spanto of Born x Raised is a LA native and born from Mexican heritage. Growing up in a predominantly Latino neighbourhood, Spanto’s experiences around Mexican traditions was very prominent. Speaking with Hypebeast in 2017 on the influence of Chicano style, Spanto explains,

“Everybody in Los Angeles was inspired or affected by Chicano culture. LA is not a European-based city, the Mexican culture is very dominant here, the first street in Los Angeles was Olvera Street (1781)”

“I always thought the best styles came from the hood. There is a sense of appreciation there that makes the clothing more valuable. And there is more originality in working with what you got.”

For Chavarria, the spirit of the cholo is everything. His eponymous label embraces the unique style that he saw growing up in California in the 80s and 90s, taking the looks of the Chicano prowling the streets of LA in lowriders and transporting that to the vaunted runways of New York Fashion Week.

Traditionally, the cholo look is typified by workwear basics, like clean button-down shirts and oversized Dickies. The khakis in particular are worn with tight belts that cinch the waist and create pleats. The backs of the pants are often pinned up so that they don’t drag on the floor. Chavarria explains to Hypebeast how the uniform of the Chicano male was a clean, crisp style which mastered the reinterpretation of basic workwear into an elegant symbol of racial identity.

Chicano culture didn’t just influence LA Hip-Hop style though. Andrew Luecke explains that before the 90s, the connection between Cholo culture and skateboarding runs a bit deeper, dating back to the late 1970s, when Dogtown skaters like Tony Alva, Nathan Pratt, and Jim Muir from Venice and Santa Monica overlapped with that subculture, donning Pendleton shirts and even bandanas and Locs sunglasses. Chavarria explained to Hypebeast,

“Cholo culture has been massively influential in men’s fashion. Cholos created the baggy pant. The look was never quite appreciated in the fashion industry until it was adopted by the skate culture. Then, skate brands began to imitate Cholo and Chicano styling to sell to white kids.”

A couple years ago, original Dogtowner Stacy Peralta told the Camera in the Sun website,

“When I went to Venice High School, the Chicano gangs used to wear the same exact thing that we surfers wore, but they wore it differently. We wore baggy Levis or Pinwhale cords, T-shirts and a long button-down Pendleton, and these shoes called Winos. Well, the Latino & the African-American gangs, they wore the same exact thing we wore, except theirs were starch-pressed. They were perfect.”

Throughout the 80s, Venice skaters like Jesse Martinez kept the Skate-Cholo crossover style alive, until it became mainstream in skateboarding in the 1990s, with pros like Andy Roy wearing Pendletons, Dickies shorts, & high white socks. Today, skaters like Sammy Baca also sport the style.



When it comes to asking whether appreciation vs re-appropriation of Chicano style there’s mixed views. Spanto believes that “as whole, it should be treated with respect. This is a culture with values and traditions, not a style or fashion trend. We actually lived this shit. This is a part of our lives.” For Chavarria, he believes that the fashion industry is graced with the influences of so many cultures and subcultures and thats what he feels keeps it exciting.

“Chicano and Cholo fashion have always had direct influence on other “street” cultures with the crossover of music and style. I think that the re-appropriation of Chicano influence is simply a compliment to great style. I love it. I mean it will never be as good as the original.”

It really has nothing to do with that and you have no idea wtf you are talking

Puerto ricans were the first one to start becoming ghettoized latin americans in NY and have less ssa ancestry. When they first came here they were not ghettoized.
Neither were dominicans.
It happens when the young kids start participating in negative activities that are somewhat associated with rap culture.
The way they behave changes because they start emulating.

Chicanos were highly ghetto as well. Id argue even more ghetto in many ways.
As sagging your pants came from The west coast and chicanos being from the west coast emulated this before east coast hispanics did. And participated in gang rap music early. The first hispanics to do so.

I'm from NYC you dummy. You're repeating something I already know, lol. Now feel free to point out where I was wrong. You sound like I don't know the hood LMAO.

Ah i missread what you wrote earlier, my bad.

[Daven]

Yeah you have a point.. btw most Mexican Americans here In Texas don't act cholo. Most of them behave like whites since majority have roots In Nuevo Leon Tamaulipas etc also Mexican -anglo marriages are common after all my husband Is a white american.

My nieces living in upstate NY all act, dress and sound white. They are probably going to marry some white guys too. Either way growing in the city won't make you sound ghetto. I know plenty of people that grew up in the hood and did well getting high degrees and all. I'm not sure what you call ghetto anyways. Dressing sporty? 'Cause I like dressing like that (and I'm already 37 LOL). I do get profiled all the time though. It boils my blood.

Ah i missread what you wrote earlier, my bad.

It's okay bro. My bad too for calling you names haha

Feelings aren't hurt. Its only internet.
