Great question, the answer is yes. There are tons of Italian (and I use that term loosely) kids in South Philly who want to be a part of that life. The tricky part is that these kids for the most part are complete idiots who just happen to have an Italian last name but from the ones I know and see seem to follow everything about the rap culture which disgusts the Philly LCN. Also, the guys in the 70's and 80's were hard core, most of these Italian-American kids grew up coodeled lives since there arent many poor kids in South Philly like there was during the Bruno days.

As was seen with the Merlino crew, many of the kids also have been brainwashed by shows like the Sopranos, Goodfellas ect and want all the glory and glamor like they see in these shows and movies and seem to want it way to much but will run away from doing anything huge like killing or armed robbery anything too risky.
