Bosozoku Girls, "I'd rather be dead than plain," a female biker gang from the Land of the Rising Sun. They create a milkshake blend of American chopper culture with English café racer style, topping it off with Japanese Yakuza influence.
Let's explain a bit about where the Bosozoku Girls come from; their roots trace back to the Sukeban, who were a female version of the Yakuza, just as dangerous and violent. Tired of the patriarchal oppression of the time, they forged their own identity. Uniformed in school dresses with ankle-length skirts, to camouflage various tempered steel bladed weapons such as katanas, switchblades, knives, etc., they asserted their rights with great violence.
The Bosozuku gang is the second pillar of influence for the Bosozoku girls; an urban tribe born in the late 70s, dressed like kamikaze pilots from World War II, they roamed the streets on their modified motorcycles, fighting rival gangs, the police, or anyone who stood in their way, ignoring traffic laws and other regulations. They sowed chaos wherever they went. They were virtually eradicated as the government tightened laws to stop them.
The Bosozoku girls, tired of riding in the back seats of their boyfriends' bikes, decided to create their own movement and their own style. They began to customize their motorcycles, not only mechanically but also aesthetically. Belonging to this type of gang was a great act of rebellion against the sexist Japanese culture of the time, where women were subservient to men, born to fulfill their needs and always relegated to the background.
They glorify their femininity to the highest degree, both with the colors of their motorcycles and with their uniforms, baroque tattoos, long nails in a million colors, hair dyed impossible hues, etc.
For all their rebellion and attitude, Machete Company is very proud of these types of gangs that color our boring society marked by routine, mainstream, and sedentarism... THIS IS ATTITUDE!!!!!
