A (in my opinion) sexy hispanic gangster with a bald head, goatee, tattoo's and baggy clothing. Whom everyone is afraid of be it blacks, whites, asians, Cholo's are very tough looking and are tough you don't wanna mess with one, they'll end up putting a bullet in your head before you know it.

While most North Americans know cholo as Mexican slang, it's also a common term among Cantonese-speaking Chinese and Chinese-Americans, particularly those from Hong Kong. It connotes a coarse or rough male, usually in his teens or early twenties. Oddly, it's pronounced exactly the same.

Los cholos somos la pura neta los que reprensetamos a nuestro "chingon"pais MEXICO cabrones y arriva los cholos ese,

A north-of-the-border Mexican that has it in his mind that just because he isn't white means he's black and doesn't realize that in fact he doesn't look any less stupid than those chavs in England. (Interesting how all south-of-the-border Mexicans consider themselves "white" and the NOB ones call themselves "brown"). A cholo steals his style from black rappers (bling-bling, low-riding pants, fake ebonics and occasional cornrows) and rednecks (wifebeaters) and takes a Kurt Cobain-style flannel shirt, only fastens the top button and calls it original fashion. Can be seen loitering at the mall or outside of Wal-Mart scaring little children or in the back of church intimidating grandmas (why even bother being there in the first place?), and at communion holding one hand out while the other's pulling up his pants. Although he commits atrocious levels of violent crime and is an unmarried deadbeat father of twelve different kids, he has ironic imagery of La Virgen María tattooed on himself or embroidered in the rear window of his lowrider. Not to be confused with the old-school pachuco who could kick his ass.

Me (peruvian) and my (colombian)friend agree that cholo is a term used for poor, stupid, native people of the Andes Mountains. They have nothing to do with Mexican culture (especialy "gangsters")

a beaner gangsta who thinks he is cool

a cholo is the Mexican/American and the culture after the zootzooter generation of the 1930's 40's 50's and today. I am a cholo and in my third year into motion picture and video major and I have never been in a gang. A cholo is a member of a culture.
