We used to use the term in the mid 90s to describe the kids hanging out in Berkeley begging for cigarette money, then getting picked up in Mercs to get driven home in the hills. They were usually white kids with dreads.

They were dumbass kids. I'm sure the current batch are dumasses too I was never a fan, but in the scheme of things, there is a lot worse out there.
