Slang term for a girl who associates with the punkrock/skateboarding/alternative subculture(s). The term originates from pin-up model Bettie Page's signature haircut with short bangs, a common fashion trait for girls in these subcultures.
The origins of the term "betty" has nothing to do with Betty Rubble, Betty Boop, or with the stereohype that it is a sure "bet" that a betty will have sex on the first date; at least, as far as I'm aware.

Despite what most young people now believe, the word "Betty" never had anything to do with hotness. It started in the 80's and simply means a girl who skates, a girl who surfs, or any girl who does something that the boys are doing. Betties are cool, but aren't necessarily attractive.
Word evolution is okay, except when it comes out of ignorance, and you end up losing a really great word.

They still haven't torn up that old church pool we used to go to; tonight we're going bring a flood light and some 40's and skate it for a few hours. This betty we know might show up and bring a couple of her friends.
