[quote=Anonymous]Found this answer on the internet:

Crew and gang is the same thing.

In the dictionary it explains that one of the ways to describe crew is the word "gang" (other description could be "pack of wolves" "group of people with similar interest, mostly likely delinquents").

I guess that the only differences are that gang holds a darker light to society (people see "gang" is more dangerous than "crew")-- but still, they are the same-- just that the groups call themselves gangs more often than crews and let out a bad name for gangs (while again, still the same words). It is like the word "fat" and "overweight", it holds the same meaning but "fat" sounds more mean and more upseting for the person to be called as.

And another difference could be that the word gang connects to bad groups due to the people fearing it and judging it. The world crew does not connect to being a bad group to other people (at least at first). "Crew of workers" "crew of artists", sounds more light and could be used to form a group. "gang of workers" "gang of artists" sounds weird and very off. Still, same meaning, but gangs sounds darker than crews. [/quote]
