Promotional merchandise for a band, record label, or other entity in the music business, usually distributed at concerts.
May include t-shirts, stickers, promo CDs, posters, etc. Often free, but not necessarily; a t-shirt or record purchased at a concert might still be considered swag, especially if it is a design or release that is not readily available in the mass market.
Many independent record labels throw in a handful of free swag when they ship out mail-order packages (stickers, sampler CDs, etc).
The chief difference between swag and regular merchandise is that its purpose is not to make a profit, but to promote the band/label, and reward its supporters by giving them something cool and unique.

It's a thing that faggots say they have because they think they are cool and it is their way of knowing who is gay, like a right earring. It is an acronym for Secretly We Are Gay.

slang originating in the early 1800s for stolen goods or booty; possibly carried by a swagman or pirate

The way a swaggot thug walks after being fucked in the ass. This is typically shown by sagging, which symbolizes that they've been fucked in the ass before and wish for it again. It is also shown by wearing a flat billed snapback sideways or backwards and wearing vans or chucks.
This trend, known as swag, makes perfect sense due to the fact that swag means Secretly We are Gay. This goes well with sagging which shows that they're available for sex by another male.

A word that was created by some half drunk, half stoned jackass in a club. Pretty much the most commonly used word in the entire goddamn universe. Made immortal by Justin Beiber (A half drunk, half stoned jackass) and now used not only to describe a person who is a complete and utter shitbird, but also used as an alternate word for, "Mental Defect."
"Did you hear that little asshat with his pants hanging down around his knees?"
"No, why?"
"Ah, he said 'swag' like seven times in one sentence."
