Ghetto blaster is a term coined in the 1980s to describe the oversized portable stereo systems that were popularized in urban communities. However, the term has become somewhat outdated, with many considering it to be insensitive and derogatory. Instead, there are several alternative terms that can be used to describe these boomboxes or portable speakers. Some of the most popular include "boombox," "portable sound system," "portable stereo," "sound blaster," and "street blaster." These terms are less likely to be offensive and more commonly used in today's society. Ultimately, the choice of term used will depend on the context and personal preference of the individual using it.
