Back in 60’s Britain, two youth subcultures, the Mods and the Rockers, would often brawl (see “Quadrophenia”).
But how would those groups clash today…if those first vowels were changed a bit?
Mads vs. Rackers
Mads: perpetually angry, primarily from watching too much Fox News.
Rackers: mostly pre-teens who find delight in punching or kicking males in the groin, effectively “racking” them.
Beef: None, really, just unbridled hostility.
The Rumble: Mads come out swinging, Rackers come out racking. Mads have an advantage if they are comprised mostly of enraged women.
Meds vs. Reckers
Meds: always hopped up on powerful prescription drugs.
Reckers: have a penchant for wrecking things, just for the hell of it. The “w” was dropped from the name to be hip.
Beef: Reckers hate dopeheads and Meds hate destructive hipsters.
The Rumble: Meds usually force handfuls of Xanax into the Reckers’ mouths, which eventually mellows things out. Often followed by going out for strawberry smoothies.
Mids vs. Rickers
Mids: mobile Internet devices…with an attitude.
Rickers: extremely fond of large piles of hay and straw.
Beef: Mids like to overheat in the Rickers’ haystacks, causing fires. No one knows why. No one dares ask.
The Rumble: More flaming confusion than outright rumbling. Mids, being inanimate, often get stomped on, thus voiding their warranties.
Muds vs. Ruckers
Muds: filthy gang who wallows in wet earth.
Ruckers: comprised solely of brothers Jimmy Joe and Billy Bob Ruckers, who hate people who bathe in crud.
Beef: Just the Ruckers’ rabid opposition of poor hygiene.
The Rumble: Lots of mudslinging against shotguns filled with rock salt. Muds usually win due to their numbers, then force the brothers to eat dirt.
