a chicano or Mexican guy back in the 1930 to 1950 that dressed in zoot suits. The pachuco was an important part of the young chicano culture in the 1950's.
In the 1940's the LA PD decided to round up hundreds of pachucos after the Sleepy Lagoon murder becuase of their ethnicity.

Back in the 1940s El Paso, Texas was full of pachucos.

Someone dressed up in a zoot suit, aka zooter. Not necessarily a gangster, but always associated with cholos. The style originated in El Paso, TX back in the 1930s. Hence, El Paso is now known to many Chicanos as "El Chuco ."
Pachuco =/= Cholo
Get it right...

An underground mexican gang featured in an episode of Macgyver.
Ramon was a member of the pachucos, but did not really earn his right to be a leader because he didn't really "waste" luther's little brother.
