This is word fusion that takes the words hippy and gangster to discribe those dreadlocked, baggy clothed, shabby, dirty, spin dancing folks that are deeply involved in drug and Grateful Dead culture, but not wanting to completely isolate themselves from modern culture, use gansta speak as their primary form of commuication.

Apr 30 Word of the Day
A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.
I can’t believe that creator encourages parasocial relationships with his fans...

Man what a parasocial relationship :/

Youth hanging around causing small trouble.

Here in holland we have "hangjeugd".
groups of people hanging around causing small trouble.

but these groups are everywhere so it can be a global word

so the new way to indicate these youngsters that cause trouble is HANGSTERS a mix between the HANG part of "hangjeugd" and GANGSTERS.
"there are a lot of hangsters around that spot"

or maybe in a social study paper

"when will these hangsters turn into gangsters"
