People familiar with Japanese cultural trends know that after Japan entered the 1980s, Japanese society, which successfully entered the world's second largest GDP, began to be a little overconfident, and after the fathers' hard work in the 50s and 70s, these showa boys, who were born after the war, also began to rebel in their mentality. And the phenomenon that best reflects this phenomenon is the rise of Japan's new generation of groups, the RiotErs, in Japan!
So what is the Rampage? Why is it said that they are the last stubbornness of the Japanese Showa boys, and there is no hot-blooded second man after them?
The "rampagers" at the head of the American plane
Here Yuda Jun first introduces the rampage people, Japan's rampage culture first began in the 50s, and became a trend in the 70s and 80s of the last century. At first, it was mainly composed of some veterans from Hiroshima, the hometown of "recruiting nuclear weapons" after Japan's defeat, and many Japanese soldiers who retired from the army were living in disgrace, so they vented their dissatisfaction with life, they willingly degenerated, joined the gang (Japanese gangsters are legal), like to be noisy, like a rampage, so these people are called "rioters".

They like to put "noisy and classy" in their mouths... Isn't it a surprise that in our high-scoring anime "Those Rabbits of Those Years", the "noisy and superior" that the woolly bear students who dominate Blue Star Elementary School will like to say is derived from this.
The noise in "Those Rabbits" is a reference to the rioters
It means "what you see, don't do it if you don't accept it" in Japanese, and if you use the Tohoku dialect to describe it, it means "look at what you see... You look at me again and try it out"... In the same way, they often precede their titles with words like "strongest" and "biggest."

They like to take trench coats or their school uniforms (诘襟, similar to Zhongshan suits) and doodle on them, usually writing rebellious words such as "all are extremely evil", or "XX is the strongest", of course, they will also identify the family, status and "honor, etc.", and this kind of clothing is called special attack suit...

So how did the Rampages develop?
In the 50s and 60s, the Japanese "rioters" were still a minority in Japan. In fact, the reason is very simple, at that time, Japan was officially in ruins, and after the "Showa Miracle", Japan's survival and economic environment began to improve, and many Japanese people still made money in their own way.

However, after entering the 70s, the violent culture has become the mainstream, which is mainly because the Showa boys born after the war have begun to enter the rebellious period (15-20 years old), these people live in Japan in the period of rapid economic development, but at this time, although Japan's economy is developed, but the spiritual civilization construction is not very in place, so a group of "bad teenagers" were born, and this group of teenagers has become the main group of "violent people"...
Motorcycles and baseball bats have become the standard for bad boys
How crazy are these bad boys? Just look at the high-scoring Japanese movie "Blood High School" by Oguri Shun, who skipped classes, fought in the school they usually had, and even some schools became the "source of soldiers" for local Japanese gangsters.
The bad boys of "Hot Blood College"
At that time, in Japanese colleges and universities, everyone was required to wear a straight rolled placket, no long hair and shaved eyebrows, and the skirt of girls should have a length requirement, but Japan's bright teenagers combed their American backs for many years, baseball bats did not leave their hands, and occasionally learned to "recruit" the heads of their predecessors with the headband of the middle two words. The locomotive is equipped with female students, and these "bad boys" are thus lost in the "beautiful boys" of their peers.

However, among the rioters established in Japan after the 1970s, they are still divided into "real rampage" and "fake rampage".
"Fake rampage" is really composed of "bad boys", most of them are born poor, do not have much learning talent, coupled with the burden of the family, at a very young age, they were exposed to the dark side of society, such as Kawanishi Sheng in "Hot Blood College", Serizawa "how poor" and other people are this kind of people, they grow up to either mix at the bottom of society, or really join the Japanese gangsters, playing baseball bats, living a life of licking blood with knives.

The "true rampage" is what we know now, and this kind of group occupied the mainstream of the rampage at that time. They admired the cyberpunk and motorcycle culture that gradually became popular in the United States from the 1960s onwards. These simple heirs rebelled at a young age and spontaneously joined the violent family. Just like ours born in the 90s, when we were in school, we liked to pull gangs and factions and follow the trend, although we behaved rebelliously, we would not do anything harmful.

These rampagers, who are usually at school, dressed strangely, the big back of the American Elvis presley is their standard, the sunglasses with the fur coat of the riot quotes, plus an imported motorcycle and a little girlfriend with the same punk equipment, which constitutes the daily life of these rampagers - like to bomb the streets, and their dissatisfaction with the social life in Japan that day will be vented through speed and passion.

And today, even after the turn of the millennium, these people who have already entered the workplace or have been successful, they already have an economic foundation, after a busy life during the day, they change their clothes at night, drive their beloved modified motorcycle, feel the pleasure of their body breaking through the air, and find their own freedom in cycling.
Japanese middle-aged people who are still pursuing "rampage"
In fact, Japan's rampage and their grandparents "recruit nuclear boys" are very similar, the same hormone excess, the same advocating violent culture, every day onboard hanging on the lips, but "Showa boy" is "onboard", and "rampage" is drag racing and baseball bat ...
The same is the rampage in the battle suit and the nuclear boy
Japan's rampage culture is not just a motorcycle culture, this culture can be said to have influenced a generation of Japanese youth... In the 1980s, Japan's "rioters" culture can be said to have influenced various industries in Japan.
In the Japanese people's favorite two-dimensional field, one of the birthplaces of the rampage culture, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, has produced several bloody animations such as "Shonan Rampage Clan" and "Shonan Pure Love Group", in which the protagonists are "Rampage Clans" who like to chase freedom and blood.

Shonbei, who is a sworn enemy of Shonan, also has "Slam Dunk Master", in which the protagonist Sakuragi Hanamichi was a "bad boy" before joining the basketball team.

Not only in the field of animation, the game field Nintendo's "Blood Story" (hot blood sports and fighting competitive games), but also based on the daily life of the school rioters, OS: When Yu Tian Jun often played "Hot Blood Soccer" and "Blood Fighting" on the little bully learning machine...
Blood Story series of games
In the 1970s, there were movies with the Tyrannosa as the protagonist, such as "Extreme Road VS Bad Banchang", "Shonan Rampage" and "Head Character D" by Japanese movie stars Yuji Oda and Yosuke Eguchi in the 80s, and similar shadows in the 2018 funny series "I Am Big Brother".

However, in general, in the Violent Culture culture of Japanese cultural film and television dramas, most of the characters are very hot-blooded and secondary two, although the dress and behavior are very "violent", but there are still some low-level characters in the fighting spirit in it...
The protagonists of the bloody anime "Youyou White Book" are also violent tribes
Moreover, Japan's rampage culture has actually spread all over Asia since the 1980s, and the "flying boys" with "Ah Fei Zheng Biography" as the core of Hong Kong movies have the shadow of the rampage in it, and the 4V "Ultimate Class" series is also a copy of "Shonan Rampage".

Even the "motorcycle bombing street" that we are now popular is also a frequent thing that the rioters used to do.
Although Japan's rioters are splendid, like the cherry blossoms, they also have a brief bloom and then decline rapidly. From the peak of the 1970s, there are now less than 10,000 Japanese rioters, and most of them are Showa boys from the 80s. The violent boys who once bombed the streets are disappearing from the mainstream of Japan.
Except for the "Showa Spirit" that has been handed down from the Showa years, which gradually died out after the Japanese economic crisis in the 1990s, the spirit of the Junior Second and The blood of the runaway clans has disappeared after Heisei. It is more that the mainstream culture of Japanese society in the Heisei and Reiwa era has been biased toward neutrality. The rampagers like the "Ghost Fire Boys" have no advantage at all over the Flower Beauty Men.
Of course, the demise of the Tyrannosa Clan should be regarded as the last stubbornness of the Showa boys, and after the Rampage Clan, the personality of Japanese boys has also begun to develop in the direction of neutrality and the opposite sex...
