Crazy people walking the streets and accosting people or are we just more aware of it b/c of cell phone cameras?

traphouse: Originally used to describe a crack house in a shady neighborhood, the word has since been abused by high school students who like to pretend they're cool by drinking their mom's beer together and saying they're part of a "traphouse". "Did you hear about the traphouse? Ben's mom got everybody beer and they got turn't."

Who would want to appropriate that term? (The woman making the film used the term a couple of times.)

But also... if that’s where it comes from... who would want to claim that as part of their culture in the first place?
