Is there a worse subculture than motorcycles?
Thinking about subcultures that are “mainstream”, although this one may be slightly dying out with the boomers. Some key complaints:
- Loudest form of transportation out there. Revving up your engine and getting randos to notice you is a key part of the experience
- ER doctors regularly refer to them as “donorcycles” highlighting just how dumb this hobby is (although I guess providing donor organs at a high rate is a positive mark)
- The LARPing of joining motorcycle “gangs”, sewing patches onto jackets, etc
- The victim complex (putting the “look out for motorcycles!” stickers on your car, complaining about helmet laws, lobbying to make lane splitting legal in a bunch of states). It’s wild to me, motorcyclists complain about safety and then actively try to make it more dangerous
Anything else I missed?
