That's Weird Grandma TWG Weekly Update
One of my favorite stories in “That’s Weird, Grandma” right now is the killer rap from Loyola Park, “Grannies Lean Like a Cholo.” Last week, someone brought up: exactly what is a cholo?
Well, no one knows the answers to my pop culture questions like good old Wikipedia.
Fashion stereotypes
A cholo is stereotypically male, depicted as wearing loose fitting khaki pants or shorts, with white knee-high socks, creased jeans, so-called “wifebeater” white tee shirts, and button-front shirts, commonly plaid and flannel. Cholos are known for starching and pressing their pants and shirts.[citation needed] Cholos often wear military-style web belts.[citation needed] Cholos in the 1990s and 2000s frequently have their hair buzzed very short, though some continue to have the more traditional slicked-back hair, sometimes held in place by a hair net or a bandana. Footwear may include traditional athletic shoes, such as Converse, Nike Cortez, Stan Smith brand Adidas, slip-on house shoes or Huarache sandals.
So you wanna rock this look? We at Barrel of Cholos can hook you up.
