Young Skulls 1976

[@rioreactions6914]

This is AMAZING! I feel like I just stepped out of a Time-Machine!

[@failyourwaytothetop]

Young folks think they never get OLD! But this crew of Bad Boys are all OLD, VERY OLD men. I wonder if those that are alive wonder if they could go back in time and change their behavior given the tragic outcome of some and the low outcomes of most. When we age, we reflect on the past and realize the foolishness of wasted time during youth. Great video King Klast. Keep them coming. I remember a time long gone. I was just a child but have vivid memories of those times.

Yep, i bet a lot of them regret their actions and wish they would've done things different

[@carlcarlson1369]

You are 100% right about getting old. When you're young you think another going to get old then you wake up one day and you say to yourself in the mirror what happened??

[@paulden3158]

This reminds me of the 1979 movie Warriors

[@cherrybullet1]

For the most part,the gangs were either acting up for the camera,or being told what to do by the producer in the different scenarios as it was obvious that they were "acting",as were the other people that weren't in the gangs. Also,when the narrator said the subjects were being filmed on hidden camera(for the free transitor radio scenario),clearly there was a camera man in the room filming the "subjects". Interesting because of the time period it was filmed in,but from a intellectual study point of view that it was meant for at the time, it was poorly done.

[@lockandloadlikehell]

Reality TV

[@OutOnTheTiles]

Ok Debbie Downer.

[@american_cosmic]

I think you're right... but I also think the "scripted" scenes were actually recreations of the studies that they're referencing. The studies were real, but the recreations were not. They just didn't do enough to stress that the scenes were recreations, because nobody cared in those days... which is extremely interesting in and of itself. Nowadays, people desire REALNESS more than anything now... even if it's fake realness (reality tv). But anyway, these recorded street scenes were meant to illustrate the studies and social phenomena they're addressing in the piece.

[@bobbyirish7]

Listen it was just like Philly where I'm from and Boston and bmore etc etc . Street crews gave thereselves at the the time what they thought was cool tough name. They hung around there neighborhoods got into shit small robbers, burglaries and gang fights. It was a fad..and or passage of age thing ....

[@ornamentalyouth]

did the newcomers have to leave the les because they stepped on the wrong foot? (i mean the hells angels). i have also read that the newcomers were largely employed by the city, i mean they had city jobs

[@davidwadsworth8982]

between 1976 and 1983, I was armed heavy. every time I ventured into the city. I remember shit turning real bad started in fall 1972 . By 75 it was nuts. Army taught me how to use firearms in combat. I had zero reservations about using deadly force.NONE. Some gang tried to jump people on a subway,we were on Thanksgiving Morning 1072. On way home from the parade. My buddy also a vet and I pulled our weapons. Punks fled to last car.

[@DJURBANBG]

you mean , before 72 there was no gang violence ?

[@shottashabazz6721]

This film is actually a lot more different than I thought it would be, but it was fascinating none the less. It really sucks to me how violence is almost encouraged in main stream society - rather than discouraged. I turned off this video at 17.42 not because I found it un-interesting, but because it was making me sick. Marvin Gaye sang it best, "only love can conquer hate" Respect..............

New York was on that warriors shit while LA was on that drive-by Wild West shit.

[@mathematics557]

Facts definitely noticed that in fact the warriors movie was based on ny gangs during that time period, the Homisides were the gang from coney Island the warriors were based off of. And as far as LA goes interesting you mention it being on the wild west shit, because during the actual wild west era it took place in locations such as California, New Mexico, Arizona etc. NY also had the era with Bill The Butcher and the Bowery Boys, NY had the warriors shit going on since the 1800s with the Irish, German, and Italians fighting each other.

[@steveschurmann4406]

In 1970(?), when I was like 16, I worked at PathMark on Bruckner Blvd. The store manager paid protection to the leader of the Savage Skulls to leave the store, customer, and employees alone. One night, we had a stabbing in the parking lot because a rival gang member tried to shop there. Crazy times....

[@ZeeHilal]

they hooked me up to a shock machine and i immediately whenever given the opportunity used it to shock the crap without releasing the button the whole time the other person! they deserved it for lying! they had to limit me to one minute at a time. even if it was the right answer! lol i still smile about it. best study i ever did at the health science center AND got paid $$$. i wonder if that jaded the results? lol i guess they will learn not to be guinea pigs for science lololol Those prison guards in Guantanimo bay must be having the time of their lives now they made this crap "street legal"

[@dgenerated]

Gangs are simply "modern or neotribalism!".. Human beings have evolved to live in tribal society, as opposed to mass society, and thus will naturally form social networks constituting new tribes and in many ways break away from the collective.. Though most wouldn't consider themselves "tribal", in all walks of life we surround and align ourselves with like-minded individuals with comparative lives, ways of life, past trauma, etc, etc, etc....

Respect is erned not taking, you give respect to get respect, back then in the 70s they were just young kids they didn't understand respect back back then they thought they just could take respect that's why people have no respect for gangs hopefully they grew up or they're still acting like they did back in the 70s I guess they just don't get it they never have and they never will it's a no-brainer I treat you how you treat me.

I wonder how many of those buildings shown where burnt down a few years later? Are there still some old buildings that survived in the blocks that were destroyed? I've been interested in that era for a long time. I just saw "The Wolf Hour" recently and thought that was pretty good if you are interested in that era. The cheesy, and somewhat racist, movie "Escape from the Bronx" shows a lot of those burnt out buildings, some are shot on stages but some definitely shot in those neighborhoods.
