From a dictionary of slang:
sketchy: Unsettling or questionable.
Example: Check out that sketchy guy–no, not him! The one with the chainsaw, doofus.You’ve never encountered "sketchy" used this way before?

Yeah, the unsettling or questionable part comes from the fact that you feel something is "hidden"
that you are only seeing a small part (like a sketch) of the real person, that they could change, become more fully activated and do something strange or dangerous at any moment. Have you ever felt that way about any of those guys………GG Allen perhaps but Lou, J, Pat……….look at those shoes J has on, I would feel fairly safe with a person wearing those shoes, I mean, What’s he got left to hide. I don’t know, words are free for us to use as we please……….and that’s a great thing.I see your point Stefka, but really just think that kid is just talking like his buddies. Its a pretty standard word in the skateboard scene. I used to say it all the time, I sometimes still use "sketchball" to describe certain situations. I would like to think of it as a term of endearment. And on that note, Stefka I love your "sketchy" advice.
English is alive and changing daily……..I guess it is a way of using it that I’m not aware of, I’m still trying to decipher his intent, for what reason, I don’t know…..Did he mean they seemed weird,what do you think he was feeling when he said sketchy……could it be a term of endearment……I can be such a snob……….I hate when young kids say "true that"………….it makes be like a bull seeing red. I need to just move on.

Imagine what this guy would say if he’d ever seen Husker Du!

Imagine what this guy would say if he’d ever seen Husker Du!indie/alternative is such a common word for everyone to use nowadays. sick and tired of this pop wave. I live in Norway, so I guess this is old news for you over the atlantic.
