What's up everyone,
I'm working on a story involving rival gangs battling it out for control of the city. The type of gangs are 80's to present day style gangs not old school mafia type gangs. I grew up around alot of black and mexican gangs so that part of the story is pretty easy to write. I'm writing from experience. But I am not to familiar with white, asian and other types of gangs. Alot of how gangs behave is influenced by their culture so I was wondering if anyone that might have grown up around this type of environment or is just well versed on the subject can help me out and give me some information so that the sTory is as accurate as possible. I'm having trouble coming up with gang names and gang member names as well as the way their gangs are structured and their slang. Even if the information you know is 2nd hand information it could be really useful. If you have any name ideas or stories can you please post them here so that I can get some more inspiration. I'm constantly watching documentaries but there is only so much information I can gain from them. Theres nothing like 1st or even 2nd hand experiences.
Thanks in advance guys.
