Do TV Shows Still Have The Bad Boy Trope In Them?

[SheWantTheD]

I remember back in high school me and my bro would watch tv shows that had the bad boy trope in it. The bad boy is misunderstood, deep down he's a good person but he's misguided, etc. Dude always had a leather jacket, sometimes a motorcycle, etc.

Excuse the fact that these guys are all white (don't know what the first guy is though), this shyt was popular in the 2000s and early 2010s.

I haven't watched tv much for years besides for mainly sports let alone shows for young adults and teens.

in some shows, the trope is highly exaggerated. in others, it's subtle. but i think every show has "bad" with in it to create the drama

Leather jacket and rides a motorcycle. That shyt goes back to Marlon Brando

And the real cool guy always has some 70s muscle car driving to high school because people running Hollywood still thinking of that jock who used to whoop their asses

Cac shyt. I can't think of any good black shows that has that kind of character. Yeah they might have one for a couple episodes, but they're usually not a recurring character.
