When I was in high school in the Inland Empire, about 90% of all the cholo gangs became "party crews". Always passing out fliers to their parties, then talking about who got shot the Monday after the party.
Weed came in brick form and we'd spend an hour removing seeds and stems from a $30 half ounce.
I don't know what clothes were trendy, I was wearing Dickies utility pants and death metal shirts. Too stoned to pay much attention to what everyone else was wearing.
