For years, the stereotype of upper-middle and upper-class young people responded to the name “Tinchos”. The term has a lot of roots among centennials and even younger generations to refer to someone from said social strata, or who at least appear to be so, and who express themselves with typical idioms of certain circles, wear designer clothing and their only concern is have a chiseled physique and a fashionable haircut.
Something similar happens in the female gender. The counterpart of the Tinchos are the “Millipilis“, product of the conjunction of Milagros and Pilar, two traditional names in families with high purchasing power.
However, the same generations that established these stereotypes are beginning to see that reality is changing. The Tinchos and Milipilis They are being left out of the game to the detriment of superior concepts. “The Joacos” and “the Delfis” They came to better represent today’s young people and are becoming the prevailing stereotype among Argentine youth.
Paradigm
“Joaco wears a white but loose shirt, he has a lot of money but he acts like a backpacker. He wears a fisherman’s hat and a fanny pack and smokes armed tobacco.. He acts mysterious, snobbish, listens to emerging music and wears a hoop earring,” summarizes Aru, one of the young women who created the concept of what a Joaco represents.
From the clothes they choose to the topics of conversation, lThe Joacos are an evolution of the Tinchos. With a profile that claims to be more intellectual than their predecessors, combining their posture of acting mysterious with being the center of attention and monopolizing conversations and also displaying themselves relaxed, the Joacos are the new juvenile fauna that can be found this summer on the coast Argentina.
In this evolution, they even relate differently to the female gender. While Tincho showed himself as a winner, The Joacos, on the other hand, prefer to play nice.“They come to talk and not to ‘face’.” They make fun of everyone. They act deep with their way of speaking and thinking,” explained the young creator of the stereotype.
Furthermore, they differ from the Tinchos in the fact that they are more modest with their economic situation and want to pretend that they have less money than they really do.
But if the Joacos captured the young men, many of the women fell into the Delfis category. It is an evolution that shares traits in common with the Joacos, such as showing off a look that pretends to be careless but is nevertheless made up of trendy clothing from recognized brands.
Furthermore, he shares with the Joacos the same intention of showing diverse interests, from play a musical instrument, the rarer the better, to the destinations of their travels. Another viral video showed signs of this new group of women. A young woman who traveled to the south of Argentina with her group of friends cried and ended up stating that she would never return. “I hate nature, I want to go to Miami,” the young woman summarized in a video that, according to users on social networks, became the maximum expression of what a Delfi is.
Thus, Argentine youth is beginning to be governed by new paradigms. If the Tinchos had the Milipilis, now, the Joacos have the Delfis.
