Yes, I did go watch the movie "Star Trek." And there were Trekkies attending, as bad as that was, I found a few connections between Trekkies and the average gangsta.
The most outstanding thing between the two is that they enjoy throwing up their gang signs. The Vulcan sign (which I feel very geeky for even knowing at this point) is the Trekkie gang sign, go to a "Star Trek" convention and put it up, guaranteed the true Trekkies will have their hands up too. Similarly, gangs always throw some sign for their gang or hood they're representing; especially pictures, they might not smile, but a sign will be present.
Both gangs and Trekkies have uniforms. As Bloods claim the color red, and Crips claim blue, Trekkies claim the strange colors that can only match with black tight pants. When a gang member walks in the streets, you can tell he or she is in a gang. When a Trekkie walks in the streets, you can tell he or she is a Trekkie.
There are initiations to join gangs, not too sure about Trekkies, but I think to have watched all of the "Star Trek" episodes and thoroughly know the Trek universe inside and out. Sure it's most likely less dangerous than joining a gang, but I'm sure it's just as time consuming if not more so.
