ghetto tendencies

noun: get-toe ten-dan-sees

The overwhelming compulsions that drive otherwise civilized people to do stupid things that they KNOW are just plain ghetto. Usually harbored by non-ghetto folks who have had early (perhaps childhood) exposure to the ghetto/hood/projects. Some believe that this phenomenon supports the theory that, “you can take people out of the hood, but you can’t take the hood out of people”.

groupie tendencies

The likelihood of an individual to adore/follow otherwise-peers.

Groupie tendencies need not involve any sexual desire. In fact, those with extreme groupie tendencies ask nothing of their (usually reluctant) paradours save acceptance of an unequal relationship. Such cases — while sometimes able to acknowledge the pathetic aspects of their attitude — feel a righteous indignation about their actions.
