The term "Pachuco" refers to a cultural identity and style associated with Mexican-American youth, particularly during the 1940s and 1950s. Pachuco culture is characterized by distinctive fashion, including zoot suits, and a unique slang known as "Caló," which blends English and Spanish. This subculture emerged in urban areas, especially in cities like Los Angeles and El Paso, as a response to social and economic challenges faced by Mexican-Americans. Pachucos often embraced a rebellious attitude, challenging mainstream American norms and expressing their cultural pride. The Pachuco identity has been depicted in various forms of art and media, including the play and film "Zoot Suit," which highlights the experiences of this community during the Zoot Suit Riots of 1943.
