This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

Gangs are a form of community, so he's not entirely wrong. There are certainly elements of comraderie and protection, especially with prison gangs.

This
Most people in gangs have come from bad families/broken homes, and the higher ups in gangs will lure these people into the gang with the family feel.

Life expectancy for a gang member is actually worse than the life expectancy in rougher parts of Africa. Great career choice.

A police superintendent says 26 here:

Its double that in Somalia:

If you want more sources, youve got the internet too. Go nuts.

This is all correct. If you want to know what the draw is then you found the answer. Gangs thrive in communities where young kids don't grow up with healthy family bonds. A gang provides a psuedofamily where they feel protected as if someone cares about them.

It's not a career, ese, it's a way of LIFE.

Also what about life expectancy for GANGS in rougher parts of Africa? Huh? Huh?
