The first well known use of the word was in the lyrics to the 1999 song "The Decline" written by Fat Mike of the band NOFX.
It also appeared around 2007 in graffiti caught on photograph around Quebec city (Canada)
It also appears in the lyrics of the song "The Broken Branches" by Star Fucking Hipsters on their 2011 album "From the Dumpster to the Grave"
