Why do people soup up cars/trucks?

All my life I'd lived in cities where pickup trucks were owned only by folks like carpenters, plumbers, and construction workers. Now that I live just outside LA, I see that pickup trucks are the choice of teenagers, insurance salesmen, accountants, and dentists. It's certainly funny looking but I guess it's something I'll have to get used to.

But why the soup-up job? Mini wheels, big wheels, GIANT wheels, wide wheels, stickers on windows, flames painted on hoods, booming music, screeching their tires in parking lots.

So what's the deal? I'm used to chuckling at cars & trucks like this but now it's all I see. Help me understand it.
