I am leaning towards the whole fuck the system, be rich, lifestyle or something that many dream to obtain. Still not fully clear on it yet, just many really and I mean really envy these movies and show. I do not think they were bad movies, just do not get the whole devotion aspect or following.
What's so hard to understand about the allure of money and power? Gangster movies are like the modern versions of Western movies that were so popular in the mid-20th Century, except that post baby boomer generations think that it's more fun to root for the outlaws!
