Mapantsula is a term originally from South Africa that refers to young men who dress in a distinctive style that includes baggy clothing, sneakers, and caps worn backwards. Although the term is generally used in a derogatory manner to describe delinquent youth, there are a few synonyms that relate to this subculture without the negative connotations. For example, "kwaito kid" refers to someone who is influenced by the South African music genre kwaito, which emerged in the 1990s and is closely linked to the mapantsula style. Other synonyms include "streetwear lover," "hip-hop enthusiast," or simply "urban fashion follower." Each of these terms highlights different elements of the mapantsula subculture, while avoiding the negative stereotyping that can come with the original term.
