The proliferation and evolution of biker culture

2. Fashion and Accessories for Adventure - Edgy, tough fashions and accessories appeal to people's inner escapists who fantasize about running away or rebelling against conformity.
3. Superhero-inspired Clothing - The fascination with superheroes has been going on for decades and creating clothing that resembles that of a superhero will get people excited because they signify a different identity and utter confidence.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The resurgence of biker culture and the popularity of edgy, tough clothing and accessories presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry.
2. Automotive - The popularity of electric and customizable motorcycles, as well as the desire for motorcycles designed to look like choppers while providing eco benefits, presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the automotive industry.
