The Rise and Fall of Japan's Violent Tribes: Popular in Asia, leading the "fashion" trend, but withering away like cherry blossoms

I've always felt that Japan has appropriately led the Asian fashion in the aesthetics of violence, perhaps because of the Japanese spirit of Bushido and the sense of ritual. Among other things, such as gangsters, Japan's "Yamaguchi Group" has become the "fashion" pursued by many young people before, and I believe that every post-90s generation has not escaped the clutches of "non-mainstream", not to mention the "rioters" that have swept the whole of Asia.

The definition of "rampage" refers to the strong fluctuations in emotions after being impacted by some things, and the feedback is violent, abnormal, and out-of-control behavior, and the rampage refers to those Japanese who are under the pressure of life riding motorcycles in the streets at midnight, all the way arrogant to release emotions, and another name is called "Speeding Party", which was first called "Thunder Clan".

The Tyrannosaurs were born in Japan after World War II. After the end of World War II, Japan, as a defeated country, even though it had the support of the United States, it also ushered in a long period of lows, the Japanese spiritual pillar emperor stepped down from the altar, the Americans began to control Japan's military, etc., coupled with the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the economy that had not been recovered for a long time after the war, the people killed and injured in the war, the unsystematic social environment, and so on, making the Japanese people's living pressure increasingly, and gangs were rampant.

In this social environment, it is conceivable how much pressure the lives of ordinary people in Japan are. People's emotions are not static, in the face of huge pressure, it is good to be able to self-regulate, but most people do not have such a strong psychological quality, or the more mature and heavy people look on weekdays, the greater the pressure may be.

At that time, the Japanese either chose to release negative emotions, or they could only be crushed by negative emotions, and a group of people chose to use motorcycles to run amok and feel the speed and passion for emotional release.

The actions of the rioters are generally organized, they will change into some unusual costumes, usually written with all kinds of complaints, full of negative emotions, or bloody violence, with some exaggerated ornaments, and some will toss their hair into various strange shapes, such as culling into a mohican style, or with thick hair wax, and the motorcycle fuselage will also be pasted with some exaggerated slogans or patterns.

They roam the streets in droves at midnight, and the roar of locomotives combined with the loud shouts and laughter has become a unique street culture in Japan.

The violent walking tribe is divided into martial arts and literary violent walking, which are generally some young people under the age of 20, most of whom have poor grades or even no study, and are hindered by economic restrictions to ride the most ordinary motorcycles, which will make a huge roar to attract the attention of everyone. In fact, martial arts are some children who do not understand things, so the lethality is also limited, although noisy, but generally will not hinder the lives of ordinary people.

Wen Ranyu refers to those who are polite during the day, and at night, they change into arrogant night clothes and enjoy the pleasure of speed in the night. Since Most of the wen riots are some adults with economic ability, their equipment is more upgraded, no longer like the strange screams like the martial arts walking, but will choose some high-end modified cars to feel the real speed of life and death.

Because these modified cars are very fast and must use high-power engines, the roar is more intense, like "bombing the street", so it has another name for "bombing the street party".

So the rioters are safe and harmless, and only venting their emotions is at most a nuisance to the people? No, there are armed clashes between the rioters, and although this armed conflict is generally concentrated between different gangs, there have also been very few incidents of attacks on ordinary people.

By 1990, there were more than 100,000 rioters in Japan, and due to the spread of the Internet and film and television works, other asian countries also began to appear rioters. So why did the violent people who swept all over Asia "wither away like cherry blossoms"?

On the one hand, as Japan gradually eased from the bubble economic crisis of the 1980s, the overall social environment in Japan has improved; on the other hand, the Showa era has become a thing of the past, With the death of Emperor Hirohito, the abdication of Emperor Akihito, and the reorganization of the Japanese cabinet, which is the first time in the real sense that the change of power in post-war Japan has been realized; on the other hand, the Japanese government has begun to realize the harmfulness of the riotous clan and strictly control it.

The changes in the social environment, the retreat of the old era, and government supervision, three reasons led to the original arrogant Japanese gangsters began to withdraw from the stage of history, although now in the streets of Japan late at night, there are still a variety of young people active, some riding motorcycles, some wearing strange costumes, but no longer in front of the face of the violent gangs of the scene.
