Subcultures 101, Tuesday, Period 3
"Welcome back," Didi said, from her desktop perch. "I hope everybody enjoyed the break and the 21st century's not too much of a culture shock after Cyseal."
She nodded to the projector screen at the front of the room. "Anyhow, it feels like a movie day to me, and we're watching a documentary about the Hells Angels biker gang. This is probably the most famous motorcycle club in the world. They started around 60 years ago in San Francisco, and they say they now have a hundred or so chapters over 29 countries. Their image is that of outlaws; they actually block anybody who's even applied to be a police officer from membership.
"There's a fair amount of violence and criminal activity in this particular subculture, and I think the documentary sensationalizes that. But for the most part, bikers are like punks or teenyboppers or any of the other subcultures we've talked about -- they're just people trying to find a place where they fit in the world. And you can't deny the call of the open road, even if you don't want to get on a Harley and ride off into the sunset yourself."
And with that, she hit play.
