The word could've been chosen specifically for the rhyme scheme they've got going, but then again using "trash" would've had the same effect.

It could also be a reference to the Thrasher skateboarding magazine. Hawk won their first Skater of the Year accolade in 1990, and the award is apparently still a big thing in the skateboarding community.
