I have a few gripes about the entry.
How, exactly, do they compare to the aforementioned cultural groups found in European countries? Last I checked, they only talked a certain way, but are essentially harmless. Perhaps they've adopted the swagger to a degree, but I'm pretty sure it's not to the point where they walk up to random people and threaten to mug them.
Also, it falls into the trap of associating language with SES. This isn't the middle ages, fer chrissakes. Language will not give you everything about the person you're conversing with. If I talked like thizzle fo' a lizzle tizzle then, well, that doesn't really tell you anything about me. Sure, you would assume certain things, but you could be completely wrong.
Not that I mean to defend "jejemons," per se. I just don't want to see people going overboard about it. Oh, and also? Whatever happened to free speech?

Sheeesshh... all this rave for something that will be forgotten in the near future. Just let them be, we have other things to worry about.
