The “tcharmilla” group is a contemporary Moroccan tribe a group of Moroccan boys which gave themselves the name that comes from a spice marinade used for cooking meat and fish that consists of; paprika, pepper, salt, vinegar olive oil, garlic and coriander. They claim that it gives their life more “spice” than of the working groups and the youth that goes to school to educates themselves. They live up to proving the existance of their masculinity within a group which provokes reckless aggressive be-haviour, criminality, anger and the use of drugs. You can recognise them by the scars, tattoos, hairstyles (influenced by famous football players), nike air max shoes, expensive watches, scooters and boucher knives. This identity is also openly showed off in Facebook groups where they post their new bling and spread this culture of violence.
