Genstands
Definition
Genstands (n.): In underground hip-hop and street linguistics, refers to the core, unshakeable principles or 'stands' that define a generation's code of conduct, often tied to loyalty, hustle, authenticity, and resistance to mainstream dilution. Short for 'generation standards,' it's about what your era won't compromise on amid beefs, ops, or sellouts.
