gang

A group of try hard losers who think they are awesome because they consider themselves "ganstas". It's an image that make them look "oh so strong" when really they are pathetic whimps who hide behind this "gang", no more than a childish club, so that people "respect" them. Without this image they no longer get the attention they crave.

No more than a gathering of beggars who formed a club for themselves to help get the attention they seek.
