:party-rocking: :dudes-rock:

also these fuckers sell masks as merch lmaooooo

were bikers ever actually anti establishment

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

This is the origin story in my country it might be different elsewhere

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.

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.

Also, everyone read Hells Angels (H.S. Thompson)

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.

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.

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

more effectively used emote when you are actually correct

The fuck are you talking about? Use real sentences.

wait you’re fucking crust and you still pull this shit? just why

the emote you posted is utilized with a greater effect when you are in the right

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…?

They have made it very apparent that they really don’t care to

Yeah, that was all very weird

Are you a Son of Anarchy of something?

i think that falls more in the hardcore punk tradition.

OP is wrong because the claim is completely indefensible in any respect

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

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.
