I think what happened with biker gangs was that motorbikes were cheap so young men bought them, they then hung around other young men with motorbikes and decided together they were pretty tough, from there they started buying drugs and selling them.
I don't think there was ever that much more to them than that
the normal origin story told is they were ww2 vets dealing with ptsd who didn't feel comfortable re-entering society so they lived rough riding cheap bikes and being hooligans with their bros and breaking norms
Nah that's pretty much ny experience in the US too. You kinda just run into the same guys over and over around town. Hoon around a bit together, help em when they break down, next thing you know you're at a rally.
I mean, you can't really compare actual 1% clubs like the Hells Angels and Bandidos who are basically international criminal orgs with the larping boat dealers that make up Bikers For Trump. Literally the only thing they have in common is that they sometimes ride bikes.
Oh, I'm a dbeat crust warrior who dresses like a Mad Max character. At this point most of it is decades removed from actual biker fashion as well, but it did come from there. Hell even Elvis was using what at the time was biker aesthetic.
Bikers, the answer is bikers. It's even in Hunter Thompson's book that even in the early 60s gay subculture had a degree of attachement to bikers. A lot were secretly getting sucked off by dudes at truckstops and a lot of dudes were secretly going to truck stops to suck off bikers.
It's a great read aside from one particular part involving a really detailed account of a particularly gross gangbang that was most likely not very consentual. That is a very very very hard to read part. It's quite informative otherwise.

Narrator: it was not always as far as went
I mean, you can't really compare actual 1% clubs like the Hells Angels and Bandidos who are basically international criminal orgs with the larping boat dealers that make up Bikers For Trump. Literally the only thing they have in common is that they sometimes ride bikes.
Oh when we said bikers I thought we meant old school biker gangs
Clubs (or gangs if you prefer) like HA and the Bandidos are the old school ones, they were formed in like the 50's/60's.

I mean, "MC's" are what they're called.
Have not read that, but I have read Sonny Barger's autobiography. Don't remember the title, but it's somewhere in my bookshelf.
They were never comrades, but they weren't always reactionary. Also, you can definitely be right wing and anti establishment.
The Hunter S Thompson book about the Hells Angels is great, btw.
All of rock and metal appropriated biker aesthetic.

Low upkeep, looks cool as hell. It's stood the test of time for almost a century now.
extremely false and obvious misconception by this type insular american babyleft subculture. lol
:wut:
more effectively used emote when you are actually correct
The fuck are you talking about? Use real sentences.
deleted by creator
wait you're fucking crust and you still pull this shit? just why
What am I pulling? I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about
the emote you posted is utilized with a greater effect when you are in the right

Okay, what am I supposedly wrong about?
Also what is the link between crust and using emojis correctly?
mate i dont really understand why you're coming in so hot over an obviously hyperbolic statement lol. You hold biker culture near and dear or...?
Care to elaborate?
They have made it very apparent that they really don't care to
Yeah, that was all very weird
It still is
wtf is even happening
I'm wrong, snarkily so.
sure. OP is wrong
Are you a Son of Anarchy of something?
Lmaooooo
Banned: Galaxy rain
Reason: sectarianism
:oh-shit:
i think that falls more in the hardcore punk tradition.
Okay, next question, do you suffer from aphasia?
no
How is OP wrong?
OP is wrong because the claim is completely indefensible in any respect
Pretend that I have no clue about either biker or metal culture. I'm a newborn baby, I know nothing, but I'm eager to learn.
Now make an actual attempt at explaining to me why OP's claim is "completely indefensible in any respect".
im baby
GB ain't from burgerland
I'm genuinely confused by what they're trying to say

And where do you think the leather daddy aesthetic came from? Halford was never seen on a motorcycle
