I'm now 54 years old. When i started looking at these pictures, and listening to oldies music, i was like wow. I remember those days, back in the late 70 and early 80's. I almost got emotional. There were good and bad memories. Even though my life is now completely different, i will never forget where i came from.

Man i missed those good old days back in the mid 90s when chicanos dressed nice and where so proud of their mexican roots.

46 YEARS OLD..STILL DRESSING OLD SCHOOL.....AND LISTENING 2 DA ROLAS.....HERE IN 2019.....💋❗GOD BLESS....

back then when tattoos we're earned. when vatos got down with the hood. and chicanos had pride for the culture.

That was a time of RESPECT.

Bad ass mix Chuco, miss them days cruisin in my 77 Cutlass playing these jams in my little cassette player while I cruised

Que tiempos aquellos que no volveran oldies forever in my soul in my life in my mine

I didn’t grow up during these times but I still get a nostalgic feeling from the music idk why lol

Puro east Los Whittier Blvd o.g cruzing!! Hearing art laboe with your ruka in the middle..best days ever!!

I'm telling you listening to these songs and looking at those pictures take me way back miss those times

Man! I love being a Chicano. I hate being called a Latino. CHICANO! We're Chicanos.

DAMNNNN... THATS MY AT THE 0.47 OF THE VIDEO..... IT WAS CYCLONE, MYSELF, AND MY HOMEBOY BOXER.... IM 45 YEARS OLD, THAT FLICKA WAS TAKEN IN 1988 I WAS JUST 13 YEARS OLD.... MAN, WHERE DOES TIME GO?

Back then (late 50s-late 60s) homies / gangsters were “Vatos y Pachucos, later Cholos”. The guys always had the clothes sharply pressed and creased with their Pendleton’s draped over their fore arms and the girls were called “Rucas” with their teased up hair sprayed hair and tight short skirts. I still remember those thighs. I remember riding my bike from La Medina Projects in East LA on Sunday nights to go look at the low rider car clubs cruising Whittier Blvd in East LA, Later we moved to Santa Ana and it was downtown 4th street. In the 7th grade a white guy named Roger but everyone called him “Fish” (his face looked like a fish) that was all pachuco started F Troop originally there were a half dozen jr. high school kids (67’-68’ Santa Ana) Shit the music was great! Today blacks are credited for the “homie gangster” thing, but it was the Mexicans in east LA and Pacoima that were the original “homie gangsters” back then blacks had not even ventured there

Im a chicana and Im glad I got to live what I represent Chicana por Vida..

The good old days. Teen angel magazines, Eastlake juvenile hall, “Ricardo M time” Sylmar,LP, Challenger Camp McNair,Scobee, and all those fun times at the fire work camps. Rocky,Afflerbaugh,Gonzalez,Scutter😎 DUARTE EAST SIDE.

On the positive side, I love the music!

Back in the days they were more mexican not only but other latino groups to day it seems they act more black and talk black.

Love the way they dressed. They were covered up and looked so cool. No exposure as we see now. Chicanos stuck around their buddies. They had fun.

San Pancho. La MISSION being represented in a few of those fotos..Right on! FIRME

Miss days back in 1965, we were migrants from RGV to Califas, loved that era, migrated for about 10yrs. Loved it.😢

I remembered those times and especially row now that I’m just staying home 🏡 because of the Coronavirus

I still remember in the late 80s i had zute suites my mom and dad would taller them for me. I was a teen. I don't bang no more but..... still have my 1959 impala on 70 spokes and hydrologics. All my homies are gone in prison or dead.

respect for all chicanos

Where im from we bump everything 80s freestyle music. Thats what people were on before the street gangs started to form. Beat boys or what ever theyre called. My ogs all listen to freestyle music thats what we bump when we cruise whem were not listening to rap music.

As a kid I thought this was cool. As a grown man .( it's not) the road is prison

Chingonas pics, firmes rolas, me recuerda mi juventud, mi vida loca, hoy solo el recuerdo queda, por vida la vida choleira...Obson City Gangstas Bajo XIII

I can’t believe it that was 27 years ago.

Crazy to see where we all staNd and all theze past veteranoz

This is exactly how it looked like when I grew up, Most of these photos look like at least from 1978 to 84 85, Time frame. But I can definitely pick out some from the 90s also.

GREAT VIDEO LOVE OUR CHICANO CULTURE

I was very lucky to have 2 educations growing up. One in the class room and one in the streets. I will never forget where & what I came from till this day by best friends are my childhood friends.

I got some flickas from My Varrio in the 80's , where can I submit them to add them to your collection?

Keeping it old school to my best friend thats locked up right now love you miss you praying for you 'LAMONT"#13

3:35/5:45 Oh shit that's me back in the good ol days Chido & Traviesa Buena Park East Side Enanos and Chicas

This takes me back when I was in Eastlake (Los) Lathetrop hall (Ricardo M time) Sylmar and Los Padrinos juvenile hall running into homies from every gang in Southern Cailfas. Camp Scudder,Gonzalez,Scott,Afflerbaugh,Paige,Rocky(the hole)Challenger-Onizuka-Scobee-Smith and McNair when it was a senior work camp. Good times.

Back in my days when times where good living in La Puente califas

Those were the days when they dressed like real Vatos passed down from the Pachuco erea. Style and good taste in music. My first Homeboy grew up banging in the 70,s and 80’s and showed me how to get a fine crease in my Bens. I miss the 90,s

Just still remember this era was crazy with violence but firme

My grandma was born in the 1950s and she tells me when she was little with her cousins in santa Paula

Dam Ese these pictures bring back a lot of memories of growing up in Pacoima, Califas (818). Back when Vatos would get down a puro putasos, fileros, cadenas y bates! Back when the Homies took Pride in how they looked. With there Tres Flores slicked back hair and your freshly starched ironed creased white tees and kakis! Does anyone Remember those old Teen Age magazines? Shit that was internet! Me entiendes Méndez! Puras memorias!

There are gangs in LA county that are way older most well know LA gangs My family from a varrio that goes back 1920's if not older varrio Artesia or varrio ArTa.

Viva la raza Mexicana qvoooo
