The Sun Yee On Triad, Flying Dragons, Ghost Shadows, Wah Ching, Wo Hop To Triad, 4 Seas, are considered Triads because they're Chinese blooded. They can do organized crime like the Italian Mafia, as well as blast at people, jump people, rob people, shoot out rival gangbangers just like black gangs, & vatos do. The younger heads, that can be just 13 damn years old, do the dirty work for the Dai Lo's to earn their respect. They're usually marked in the gang by showing loyalty, getting tattoos, and cigarette/insense burns all over the body. Prostitution and gambling is the bread and butter for most Triads.
The Triad was getting into trouble with some street gang, so one called his Chinese brothers in Hong Kong to come. So they take the next flight to America and blast the shit out of these faggots and also their family.

A name for organized crime based in Hong Kong or mainland China, also used to denote a member thereof. Note: You can't say "Jin-Wa belongs to a gang named the Triad." This would be akin to saying "Corleone belongs to a gang named the Mafia." No, you say "Jin-Wa was a Triad," or "Jin-Wa belonged to the Triads." You idiotic ignorant wanna-be bastard movie reviewers who don't know shit.

The sign/symbol/logo for the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars. The image of a triangular shape with a horizontal line going through the centre of it. Also on the cover of their most recent album, This Is War. The band also had glyphs as their older symbols.
Person 1: Hey, look at this band's album cover, I bet they're into some sorta cult.
Person 2: That's Thirty Seconds to Mars, that's the triad, and, yes, this is a cult.

an organization started by three people that talk about there love life. those three people in the triad can never tell anybody what goes on in the triad meetings unless it is about them self. one who breaks the triad must lick something nasty like the bar of death. once in the triad never out of the triad.
Also many times called the triad of love.
