I was listening to Ozomatli on NPR alt Latino and they referenced the pointy boot tribal movement/phenomenon that seems to stem from the rascuache make-use-of-materials-available-to-you sensibility.

It was on the NPR page where I found the link to this short doc. With nearly 1.5 million views, it's interesting to see 1,500 or so "dislikes" which I might attribute to the naco-fresa distinction of what you are by what you dislike.
