Raxet

Raxetas, also called Ráchetas in Castilian Spanish, are a newer subculture in Spain relating to women who combine sophisticated fashion elements such as jewelry or shiny nails with urban ones, like tracksuits, fanny packs and slippers. This subculture is heavily influenced by Spanish Trap music, and it surged as an evolution of the Choni movement of the 2000s, incorporating more influence from mainstream American fast fashion.
Raxet is still quite similiar to its parent style Choni; but it also has its own unique influences like American fast fashion, Latin-American Pop and its darker style. Raxet fashion is also somewhat erotic; including crop tops and revealing clothing patterns like fishnets and diamonds. Essentially, Raxet is a trend that reclaims all the aspects of Choni that were once considered "tacky" or "ugly""Raxet: Todo lo que debes saber sobre el estilo que está marcando tendencia" | losreplicantes.com | Source Language: Spanish.
Although Raxet is quite widespread in Spain, they are mostly found in the Levante area; also called the Spanish Mediterranean coast. In fact, the term "raxet" is thought to be the Louisianan Creole word "ratchet" adapted into the Catalan language, which is predominant in the east of Spain. Therefore, they are mainly found in urban centers like Barcelona, ​​Valencia or Malaga. Some of the most famous Raxet singers are La Zowi and Bad Gyal.
La Zowi described the Raxet subculture as:

==Criticism==
===Claims of "Cultural Appropiation"===
The Raxet subculture is sometimes criticized because some women involved in the fashion style try to copy the stereotypical clothing and style that many Latin-American female singers wear; after all, Trap, Latin-American Pop and Reggaeton are the biggest influences in the Raxet style. This has led to the misconception that Raxetas are trying to "Latina-bait" people. Some people have also criticized Raxet because they claim it's "culturally appropiative"; as the term Raxet is most likely derived from "ratchet", which is a Louisianan Creole word that refers to an "uncouth woman"Ratchet (Slang) | Wikipedia.org.
