There's a jovial shit-mouthed wise-ass standing in an outdoor foyer at MIT, chain-smoking Newports and hitting on every girl who walks by. He's the 22-year-old whiteboy from Massachusetts whose actual birth name is Blake Boston, but who became widely known as Scumbag Steve after a pic of him sporting a backwards hat, gold chain, and fur G-Unit hoodie was poached off the MySpace page for his suburban rap crew – the Beantown Mafia – and re-appropriated as a universal symbol for degeneracy.
