Eli lo que eres es una pocha, Nosotros los “fresas” tenemos un poco mas de educacion. Lo mas repugnante es la gente que se cree fresa y no lo es, pero so se dan cuenta que se nota que son unos nacos.

I’m from Brownsville.. went to the private high school of choice for these fresitas… can you guess which one? 6 years of “o sea,” “no mames, guey,” “te lo juro,” etc over and over again. Semana santa brought them in droves. Since moving to Austin I have yet to see one fresa… thank God.

I don’t think hipsters are the counterparts in the US of fresas. Since Mexico has plenty of hipsters, not all of the rich…some of them quite poor.
But what else do you call the gay dude, in the cool shades, clothes and into obscure music months before p4k gets a whiff of it?
So I mean..some fresas can be hipster (Maybe, but they wouldn’t rub their money in your face, they’d be wearing old chucks) but not all hipsters are fresas. Not in mexico, not in the US either. I mean…Paris Hilton is not a hipsters…but she is definitely a fresa icon.

the universal truth here is that human beings will always find new and imaginative ways to hate each other. *sigh*

whats wrong with being fresa?
or having money or dressing and speaking a certain way!?
you could just as easily pick on people who dont dress well, cannot speak any language proficiently and have no money.
just because you dont consider yourself to be fresa doesn’t give you the right to bash us. you should be ashamed of yourselves. ok ciao besitos

Valley-ites: Forget Highway 83! Let’s cruise 10th street in McAllen, smoke mota, and end the night with tacos or a papa from the little taco trailer down the road.

Fresa = all of the girls on Yo Quiero Mis Quince on MTVTr3s. Did anyone catch the episode where the girl was really poor but wanted a big expensive party that her mom couldn’t afford?

You hit this shit right on the nose. Especially with your genius insight on today fresas which are now the oh so annoying snobby hipsters.

If ever in LA…go to Cinespace on a Tuesday night and be amazed by the disgrace of human race.

You should be given a Nobel Peace Prize in Literature for this piece.

@Janie: Believe me I restrained myself from posting a picture of Mauser in this story. Of course, he would be an example of a fresa who came over to the dark side. Bwa ha ha ha.

@Mauser: I laughed my ass off when the fresa in that video told God, “besitos!”

yeah, these are equivalent with your everyday Murray Hill frat boy trash…..hipsters are usually called modernos or alternativos or, in Venezuela for example, posmos……for post modern.

Usually alternativos hate the guts of sifrinos, fresas etc……..

But why is this news? There are silly upper class kids all around the world…..

At my job, that is what we call our male coworkers who are the type that their socks have to match their shirts. we knda use it to mean gay now. And now it is tre chido to claim the term naco if your a hipster!

i’ve been called fresa, term which i hate. my maternal side of the family reside in mexico city, upper class, i have the cousins that shop down avenida mazaryk the mexican rodeo drive, and just hanging out with them a couple of hours is enough!
i always tell them ” que se saquen la papa de la boca para hablar” usually within their group they like to be called, gente nice o bien. i dont understand this!

for some reason, i can’t picture a fresa stepping foot in silverlake, williamsburg, or lower east side. i see them more in places like the beverly center, rodeo, or bergdorfs and upper east side. to me hipsters are a different culture than fresas. and in colombia i’ve heard the term “hijo de papi y mami”.
