Why did delinquent meme die out?

All these nu-anime punks are bitch-made compared to old-school ruthless delinquents

new age bullies everywhere are bitch made compared to old gen. Just look at how tame hazing has become on campuses. Not that I advocate for that brainless activity.

Because modern audiences are pussies. The worst thing you can do to someone these days is grief them in minecraft or not like them on social media. Bullying's all digital and kids aren't raised to be able to deal with anything shy of absolute acceptance.

they disappeared in real life

high school jocks that trying to pick a fight with MC & his gang for no reason extinct

all we get now is generic MC cheerleader & "friend" that exists to show MC has bare minimum social circle and well liked by everyone..zero opposition at all

They practically disappeared altogether in late 2010s
Shit even recent Jump mangas doesn't even feature those banchou type niggas anymore

It was considered anachronistic before Hirohito was even dead.

their disappearance in the media is also part of a campaign to end bullying in schools duh
so even if there are still some old school bullies here and there, they wont be shown in the media anymore, and if they appear, they are portrayed as jobbers

Because they were based upon real delinquents, and those kinds of delinquents faded away by the 90s. As far as I am aware they had mostly died out in the 80s, and later groups were instead inspired by fictional depictions. We're multiple generations out from anyone having interact with that sort while in school, and their depictions in anime and manga being based upon earlier depictions in anime and manga. There are still bullies and delinquents in japan, but they're different, and less socially acceptable to depict. Also those old-school delinquents were a product of the reconstruction era in japan, the forces that caused their development are long gone.

Even the delinquent heroes in shounen manga mostly targeted other bullies amd rival delinquents. They were mostly delinquents because their personalities were rough and crude.

Say what you want about dandadan but at least they had some delinquents being the good guys. You don't see that a lot these days.

Delinquency moved to the Internet.

Many people need to realize that, although fiction is able to be literally anything you want, from gundams to space-age sentient mushroom exoplanets, most authors and artists take inspiration from reality. Only a blessed few have minds gifted / fucked up enough to craft entirely new ideas.
As such, as the world changes so does too its art.

There's honor is fighting other delinquents. Fighting some random kid is worthless.
Consider Yusuke from Yu Yu Hakusho. He left other people alone and only fought with other delinquents / people who slandered him.

He left other people alone and only fought with other delinquents / people who slandered him.

The wimps and nerds are already afraid of your firsts. If you're truly hard you need to make the baddest guy at the other school afraid of your fists too.

b-but anime isn't gettting censored and infantilized at all !!

retard

who are you quoting?

delinquent heroes

so not deliquents
shonen magazine can give some stock MC long blonde hair call it deliquent and apperantly retarded anime fans eat it up

Older shounen protags at least look the part. The last shounen manga I can name that had a delinquent MC that looked like a delinquent was Kango Bancho, and that was literally about over-the-top wars between delinquent gangs.

Japan

Delinquensts

It's like that meme where Canadians say sorry when they are angry.

Didn't realize you think you are so weak that you'd need 20 guys to equal me.
What's the matter, scared to fight me in a fair fight? Pussies.

So you want cosplay tsunderes kr goid hearted "rebels". Got it. Wind Breaker is airing right now

Tokyo Revengers was based on real life

They're dead just like gyarus and dinosaurs

You still have anime about both of those though. Not about delinquents. Unless they're just called delinquents but are actually kind and caring fujobaiting ikemen

faggot

Have read before that schools and regulatory boards in Japan cracked down on the whole delinquent "culture" in the 90s. The numbers of kids being bullied is as enormous as ever. Guess in Japan you can still bully someone till they jump off the school roof but not while looking like a typical delinquent

It's okay if you look like a fag but not if you look badass

They were also close to Yakuza and Bōsōzoku.

once they graduate they basically had 3 different paths in life

minimum wage job

yakuza

delinquents being the good guys. You don't see that a lot these days.

What are you talking about delinquents haven't been the bad guys since the late 90s at the worst that misunderstood young men with hearts of gold. You can't name one delinquent manga that came out in the last 10 years that doesn't portray them that way.

The dude who wrote Crows is probably a wealthy man by now. The other options are kinda shit. Still better than living in South Korea without being related to one of the oligarchs though

Delinquentcy are gateway to yakuza. Glad it died out.

They are delinquents. They break school regulations and do petty crimes and are generally lowlife trash. They don't need to do something uncool like stealing the fat kid's lunch money to be delinquents.

saws?

General aversion towards masculinity in modern Japanese manga.

yakuza at it's peak had 180k members but now they have less than 20k because even criminal zoomers find retarded to cut off a finger just because they messed up

look up Tokyo Revengers

first result is "WHY THE ENDING SUCKS"

lose all motivation to watch it

FUCK YOU
god i hate the internet.

I think most authors underestimate how a bad ending can ruin a story as a whole, for example I will never waste my time watching Game of Thrones when I know that everyone agrees that the ending was trash

now they have less than 20k

Yeah right, a country of 124 million has 20k organized crime members. Just a bunch of fake stats from a state that has 99% conviction rate. Japan may be a safe place but some people just want to do crime for a living no matter where they are. And it's not 0.01% of the population

This is why I never have rewatched SnK despite the fact that I liked everything up until the last arc.

You could have organized crime that is not under the retarded structure yakuza clans passed down for decades

decades

centuries, actually
