I mean I get why they hang together, I just don't know why they act like hot shit. I've seen enough dashcam footage of bikes going flying to not take them too seriously.
It really used to be about parties.
Basically every MC had an open house party every other month, then there were the local or national runs of specific MCs so if you were a biker you would ride with your bros to a big party with hundreds of people and lots of BBQ and beer every weekend.
And yeah you also got to act tough and make money through selling meth or pimping prostitutes instead of normal work.
Comments like this suggest you barely, if at all, understand the serial tv medium. Serial television veers towards the absurd or caricaturesque almost inherently by virtue of its form, owing to the fact that serial television is typically crafted to be long running, and so the injection of motorcycle club (MC) culture into the narrative template established by Hamlet (arguably the greatest play in the Western canon) winds up being perfect and builds tonal metacommentary as it progresses through multi-season arcs and ultimately concludes with the sacrifice and martyrdom of Jackson Teller.
It's cringe hicklib shit. >WE MAY SELL DRUGS AND KILL PEOPLE BUT DID YOU JUST MAKE A RACIALLY CHARGED COMMENT ABOUT PEOPLE OF COLOR? W'ERE GONNA FRICK U UP
I guess bikers were cooler back when the mean age wasn't 55, it's a little hard trying to be cool when you're overweight, smelly and have 4 different pain medications you take non-recreationally.
Wasn't believable at all for me as cartels are orders of magnitude more powerful and influential than meme biker gangs and the show was trying to present it as some kind of battle
It starts okay but then gets very very gay very quickly. The executive producer plays himself and his storyline is just him constantly getting cucked and raped.
People overlook it because the show is MC content and can be taken at face value, but SoA is also top level satire and a deconstruction of media culture and long form television as a medium. The show being based on Hamlet is well known, and we see the progression from normalcy to absurdity that we should expect in line with Ophelia's descent into the lake, the stabbing of Polonius, but the show's own internal commentaries on the media landscape might just as well be The Murder of Gonzago as much as they are Hamlet, using "the play within the play" device multiple times to skewer the nature of content that must extend and propagate itself by virtue of season contract lengths demanded by studios. Jax is not only unable to kill Clay and Gemma and quickly resolve the situation and save his family and the S.A.M.C.R.O MC because he is an analog for Hamlet, he is unable to do these things due to the ordinance of God, the network television system. At the essence of tragedy is the bitter, unsatisfying resolution that could have been easily avoided but was also impossible to avoid, and at the heart of that are questions about the nature of free will. To be or not to be, these are questions that Hamlet and Jax can ask but ones they can never actually be given the power to answer due to the nature of circumstance, destiny, and being a slave to one's own drives and inevitable mortality. Through the baseline connection to Hamlet, we see history first repeating as tragedy, and as the show moves through recycling and updating previous story cycles it has already brought to the screen, we see tragedy repeated as farce. The progression of Tig's character, Otto (Kurt Sutter) biting his tongue off and other exploits in the both symbolic and literal prison of the show, Marilyn Manson, Gemma's songs, it's an extremely well organized and exercised piece of metafiction that can also be appreciated in the pure sense as MC content.

MC content? As in, male children? That’s what you like, isn’t it?
>it's another gemma lies to jax to cover up something horrible and he and the sons take her word for it every single time and get pulled into more gang violence as a result episode
Bikers in real life puzzle me. Just a bunch of guys who ride around on bikes acting tough? Why?
Idk sounds kinda fun
I mean I get why they hang together, I just don't know why they act like hot shit. I've seen enough dashcam footage of bikes going flying to not take them too seriously.
It's just an excuse for outlaws and black sheep to get together. They got to go somewhere might as well have a common hobby too.
shut up butters
HA started as a CIA front for selling drugs
The CIA is so fricking dumb if they didn't sabotage the nig community we wouldn't be kn the position we are now.
they so stupid of them to create a situation where they're more powerful than ever
It really used to be about parties.

That sounds awesome.
I’m not American but aren’t they just like any other OCG when it comes to selling drugs etc I thought the biker part was just a hobby
And gangbangers stand around corners
>b-but what about le kneegers
triggered poltard
>acting tough
they don't act tough, they just ride and act like wholesome dads (which most of them are)
Pretty cool until it got to preachy
It's mid
It's like a GTA game cutscene that never ends and lets you actually play the mission
it is indeed VERY gay
VERY
Not as gay as real MC bikers bit still pretty gay.
LIL' DONNIE!!??
*PEW PEW*
CAGIES BTFO
This shit and the walking dead look exactly the same.

it's very try hard
It's cringe hicklib shit.
>WE MAY SELL DRUGS AND KILL PEOPLE BUT DID YOU JUST MAKE A RACIALLY CHARGED COMMENT ABOUT PEOPLE OF COLOR? W'ERE GONNA FRICK U UP
Avoid this utter slop.
africa is full of sober Black folk
still africa
MC content is the modern day hamlet.
SOA is literally a retelling of Hamlet.
Only for the first few seasons
There’s lot of manrape and the homosexual Black person son guy plays a troony. So not much gayer than OP
Power fantasy show for boomers and flyover states. Nobody who actually rides watches this.
>Nobody's posted the wheelchair webm
rip
>ON THA DEVIL'S BAAAAAACCCCKKKK
>until you diiiee
I gave up after the Ireland season. The letters bullshit of the next season made me quit.
I guess bikers were cooler back when the mean age wasn't 55, it's a little hard trying to be cool when you're overweight, smelly and have 4 different pain medications you take non-recreationally.
it starts out ok and get progressively more moronic
it starts boring and gets progressively more cringekino
No it just becomes cringe. The girl I was dating when it aired loved this show and she was legit dumb.
Wasn't believable at all for me as cartels are orders of magnitude more powerful and influential than meme biker gangs and the show was trying to present it as some kind of battle
Pretty gay, keeps showing man ass but no breasts
who wants to see man breasts
It's very gay
It starts okay but then gets very very gay very quickly. The executive producer plays himself and his storyline is just him constantly getting cucked and raped.

MC content? Don't mind if I do.

Utterly unhinged.
Yes
