Los Angeles History: "Pachuco" Zoot Suiters

Chicano(Mexican/American) Youth in Los Angeles. They were the second generation in the U.S.. They weren't Mexican enough, and they weren't American enough, so they chose the pachuco lifestyle to rebel.

And then, One day....these pachucos started forming into many little groups and started to fight back. Matter of fact.. they still fight till this day, the only difference now is that they are no longer called pachucos but now labeled as gang members or called Cholos!

En casi ninguna foto de todas las que he visto se les ve usando el sombrero de pluma, ¿alguien sabe si realmente lo usaban? o si es más un mito luego de la figura tan famosa de Tin Tan

A lo mejor la leyenda de Tin Tan.
