Featured below are photos of Mexican urban teens by photographer Stefan Ruiz. These weird hairstyles and distinct outfits are a part of Cholombiano subculture which they represent. This subculture centers around cumbia music which became extremely popular in 1960s and found a strong foothold in Mexico, specifically with Monterrey. Then, around the late 90s, the genre bred a teen fanbase so passionate about cumbia that they began referring to themselves as Cholombianos, which simply means Colombians in Spanish. However, it essentially disappeared from Monterrey in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
Cholombiano doesn’t “simply mean Colombian” (I’m Colombian). It’s a combination of Cholo and Colombian
This is a duplicate post, dammit.
What does that sign say? The one that ends in “rapers”?
Tea, it means from the dynasty of rappers……
Thinking ahead (not far) this could be the answer to my ever thinning hair. A stylish flip… 😁
So this went out of style in the 2010’s ? Its making a comeback
Anyone interested in this subculture should check out the Netflix movie, I’m No Longer Here, a brilliant movie.
Looks like a little too much manteca de cerdo was used in those ‘do’s
All I have to say is that this fad hideous, it’s straight up revolting. People think Mexicans are greasy as it is without slathering grease all over your heads, and hair!
If a barber cut my hair like that I’d be pissed off!
The culture disappeared because the narcos didn’t like the way they dressed, they thought they looked foolish plus the music they listened to wasn’t to their standards either. They made them either join their cartel and change their style or they would just have them killed or sell them drugs so they can overdose. It’s deeper than you guys think.
oh HELLL naw … if ma barber did me like tha , i’d prolly sue dat mofo
what is wrong wit dis mans hair fr
