A cholo or chola is a member of a Chicano and Latino subculture or lifestyle associated with a particular set of dress, behavior, and worldview which originated in Los Angeles.[1] A veterano or veterana is an older member of the same subculture.[2][3][4] Other terms referring to male members of the subculture may include vato and vato loco.[5][6] Cholo was first reclaimed by Chicano youth in the 1960s and emerged as a popular identification in the late 1970s.[1][7] The subculture has historical roots in the Pachuco subculture, but today is largely equated with anti-social behavior, criminal behavior and gang activity.[8][9]
