A small squad (3–50 people) holding it down in a neighborhood, usually running some type of crime—from tagging walls and petty theft to bigger moves. They roll under a shared name, symbols, and history, sometimes repping bigger gangs like the Crips or Bloods. Not always violent, but always claiming their turf.

Get the Street Crew mug.A squad of 3+ homies (usually 15–20, max 50) who run their block, tag walls, flex turf, and sometimes link with bigger gangs. It’s not always about gunplay—rep, presence, and respect speak louder than beef.

Get the Street Crew mug.Less than 50 people, all about neighborhood dominance. Graffiti, territory, and mental warfare over the streets. They make a name for themselves without having to go viral—or violent.
“Respect that Street Crew / Tag Crew—they’ve been moving the block for years with nothing but markers and mindset.”

Get the Street Crew / Tag Crew mug.A group of around 20 (give or take) locals who hold down their neighborhood—tagging walls, flexing turf both online and in person, and sometimes linking or spinning off from bigger gangs. Street Crews aren’t always about violence; they’re about presence, unity, and respect that speaks louder than beef.
Street Crews move in the shadow of bigger gangs but often stay more active, more connected, and more in tune with the real neighborhood pulse.

Get the Street Crews mug.A softer or more neutral term for a criminal street gang. People also say “street crew” or “neighborhood crew.” It usually refers to a local set of mostly young members (ages 18–25) involved in group street activity — tagging, hanging out, hustling, repping their area, or functioning like a tight-knit street family.
Local Reporter: “Would you call these guys tagging up the neighborhood a gang, Captain?”
Police Captain: “No, we don’t consider them an organized street gang. We haven’t confirmed any violent incidents or arrests — we classify them as an informal street group. Potential for conflict, but not structured.”

Get the Street Group mug.A small (usually 5–15 homies), tight-knit group that reps a specific block, corner, or neighborhood. Usually made up of young hustlers or locals (ages 12–24) with shared ties — not always deep in crime, but definitely street-oriented. More like a crew of friends with street instincts than a full-on gang.
