WHAT TERMS AND NAMES ARE GIVEN TO THOSE WHO "GANGBANG" OUT IN THE STREETS OF THIS GOOD OLE' U.S. of A.?
Amongst La Raza, they can be termed, Cholos, Gangstros, Pachucos, Carnales, Sureños, Riders, Bandidos, Maravillosos/Marafiosos, Homeboys, Delincuentes, Pandilleros, Mafiosos y Bandoleros.
Those are some of the names and terms used to describe those in the world of street gangs. There's plenty of other names, but these are amongst the ones that popped into my head right now. Each and every one is associated with the Street Gangs and do not necessarily apply to drug dealers and runners nor cartels, nor do they apply to those in the mob world of illegal enterprises. They can be used to describe the last ones mentioned but they are not actual terms & names used in their everyday self-applied definition. On the other hand, a street gangster can use any and all of those terms and names each and every day with no problem nor contradiction. So I ask, what are some of the "other" terms/names used on or by Street Gangsters to define themselves?

In Chicago it's usually gangbanger or gangster.
In Philly, back when they had alot of gangs, it was corner boy or jitterbug. Gang fighting was called gang warring or jitterbugging.
In New York back in the 50's/early 60's it was bopper and gang activity was called bopping.
In L.A. during the pre-Watts gang era, low rider was sometimes used for black gangs like the Slausons and Gladiators.
