Suicidal Tendencies GANG, Venice Beach


Please buy my ST merch!
Suicidal Tendencies is an American hardcore punk then a crossover thrash metal band that was formed in 1980 [5] in Venice, Los Angeles, California.

It was the idea of frontman vocalist Mike Muir. The band has since undergone many lineup changes, with "Cyco" Mike Muir as the only constant and sole remaining original member. More

Michael Allen Muir (born March 14, 1963) is an American singer who is the lead vocalist and the sole continuous member of Los Angeles-based bands Suicidal Tendencies [3], Los Cycos, and Infectious Grooves. He has also released several solo albums under his nickname Cyco Miko. More

Unlike other gangs and criminal groups, punk gangs follow a range of political and philosophical beliefs that can range from alt-right to radical left.

Differing ideologies are one of the causes of conflicts between rival punk gangs, compared to other street gangs and criminal groups that wage gang wars solely for illegal profit, vendettas, or territory [54].

Most of them can be seen in political and social protests and demonstrations and are sometimes in violent confrontation with abusive law-enforcement.

Examples of punk gangs are the jackass Suicidal Tendencies crew, Fight For Freedom, Friends Stand United, and alleged Straight Edge gangs [55, 56], following in the clean-living footsteps (but certainly not the words) of sober vegan teetotaler post-hardcore DC punk Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat, British working class, and so on.
