The gang-bangers didn’t dress up in baseball suits and makeup like in “The Warriors” back then, but they were bad enough.

Sorry to burst your bubble but gangs STARTED on the east coast back in the 19th century, NYC was one of the worse places for gangs!

We may be hung up on a terminology thing. DownUnder we call anybody who actually belongs to a gang a “gang-banger”.

You had gangs in NYC such as the Rampers, Savage Skulls &tc in the 1970’s. They did not go about on roller skates or dress up like the Baseball Furies of “The Warriors” fame.

I know because I have made it my business to know.
