No, especially because LA gangs are infamous for their creation of the gang culture in America.
It is because of many reasons. People who grow up in ghettos more than likely have a hard time in life with family, finances, schooling, gangs, and more. Because of these problems, some look to gangs as a family unit to make up for the absence of family at home. They look to gangs as a means to make money with criminal activity, and a way to be taken care of. They look to it as a way to learn the streets they have to live with everyday and since they may be falling behind in school, or they believe there is no way out of 'hood life no matter how well they do academically. They look to gangs because gangs may intimidate them into joining or else they'll hurt them and/or their love ones, or another gang is already harassing them, so they feel they have protection with joining up with another. And then there are those who just would rather cause chaos and do nothing more in life than that. It should be noted that people from the ghetto aren't the only ones who create gangs. There are many suburban gangs as well.

They want to become popular and possibly form a clique. Gangs tend to be harmful and/or mean/naughty.
gangs are negative for more than one reason. They can get you into a lot of trouble and not have your back for it. They can convince you to commit a murder or take your life. It put your family in danger or friends. It is not easy to get out and you will be on the record so it will be harder for you to get a job or even get a place to stay.
