It typically refers to a style characterized by distinctive fashion choices, such as baggy clothing, bandanas, and tattoos.

In broader contexts, "Cholo" can refer to a person who identifies with this subculture, often embracing elements of street culture and urban life. While it has been used in a derogatory manner at times, many individuals reclaim the term as a symbol of resilience and community, celebrating their roots and experiences within the Latino culture.
