They are the scourge of existence and deserve to be secluded on an island where no one will ever see them again. A beginning explanation of what they are would be a hybrid between a redneck, rock, and white rap persona. Their skin has the appearance of dirt that is so heavily embedded in their skin that makes them look dirty beyond a point of cleaning. They wear clothes that either a) nobody should ever wear or b) that are thrown together ensembles of clothing that are a mix between preppy southern/redneck; yes I am aware that this makes no sense, but neither does the fact that these awful excuses for life exist. They are especially focused in an area of southern Georgia that includes Glynn County and Camden County.
Kid Rock was the original dirt kid, and they only got worse as evolution continued.

(Midwest slang)
A kid who grew up poor or system-raised with little to no supervision, spending most of their childhood outside. Usually dirty, feral, and self-reliant due to absent parents, foster care, or poverty. Not just “played outside” — more like raised themselves.
“We were dirt kids—no parents around, outside all day, figured it out ourselves.”

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
