A hardcore fan of the band called "The Neighbourhood" . Hoodlums could range from shy little teenage girls with hunched backs who don't talk, or could even be a hipster guy with spacers and a beard. Don't fall into the hoodlum life and gert obsessed with Jesse and the guys
OH, yeah that Nava chick? Yeah, she's weird. That hoodlum girl who's obsessed with that indie band whatever that means.
