Teenage reasons for joining a group or a 'gang' really hasn't changed from decade to decade. Some reasons include:
Teen's needs to "belong." A passage rite from teenager to adulthood. Desire to share interests, even if those interests are viewed negatively. To feel popular, "cool", or "in" -- even if the group is viewed as not popular. Needs to separate and differentiate from parents. Rebellion, revolt against adults. For a reaction from adults. Low self esteem.
