Tag Bangers

A crew of 15–20 homies who mark their block with a signature tag, symbol, or code. Some move like full street crews, others “tag bang” for reputation, sometimes even claiming loose ties to bigger gangs like the Crips, Bloods, or Sureños.
Most keep it about wall work over heavy violence—but respect still counts. It takes guts to tag and defend your name, even when bigger sets press.
Tag bangers are like entry-level gang bangers—mostly paint over pistols, but don’t test ‘em. Some will still prove a point.

Combination of the words "tagger" and "gangbanger". A new subculture that has developed mainly in southern California. Not really considered writers, they tag, never piece, and almost never do throwups. Often they carry guns and bear more than slight resemblance to gangs. Not really considered to be true writers by writers, but are mostly considered a hinderance and a negative influence on a creative writing and piecing scene.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.

Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
