Final answer:

In the 1970s, Mexican American youth adopted a distinctive style of dress and began referring to themselves as Chicanos and Chicanas, reflecting their pride in their Mexican heritage.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 1970s, Mexican American youth seeking to create their own identity adopted a distinctive style of dress known as zoot suits. They also began referring to themselves as Chicanos and Chicanas, reflecting their pride in their Mexican heritage. The adoption of new names by bands during this time period was not directly related to embarrassment of being part of Chicanismo, but rather a reflection of the broader cultural and social changes happening in the 1960s and 1970s.
