There isn't really an equivelant concept in the states as far as I can tell.
We've had a similar pheomenon in Ireland for as long as I can remember, generally called skangers (s-gang-ers), scobes, knackers, scumbags etc. Real hard-cases, or people who think the're hard, but of a particular type I don't think you really find in the U.S.
Same time those labels are generally applied way to broadly, even sometimes by me, which is really fucking snobbish.
