Mandrake (also known as Nóia and Funkeiro) is a Brazilian subculture that is mainly comprised of low-income teenagers participating in the carioca funk culture who may or may not engage in illegal activities like robbery, rape, illegal possession of weapons, drug dealing and disturbing the peace. It started in the Southeast region of Brazil, more specifically in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo (the 3rd and 1st most populated states, respectively).
Mandrake comes from the appropriation of the word Mandrake from English, which is a herbaceous plant with hallucinogenic and aphrodisiac effects that is often illegally sold as a drug in the favelas (low-income regions with cemented houses on hills in Brazil). The word lost its pronunciation to adapt to the Portuguese language. Another name for the culture, "Nóia", is Brazilian slang and an abbreviation of the Brazilian word for neurosis.
Parts of this subculture are a tacky style, with flashy clothes, an attitude that can go from friendly to violent very quickly, and ostentations like buying a very expansive motorcycle even being poor and making noise with her at night
