Different Irish people

    Simply we always hear about the pie balls, D4's, knackers etc. but why is there no stereotypical image of the suburban Irish teen(myself). Does suburbia not play the same significance as it seems like in American culture?

    If anyone has any idea what I'm going on about, please discuss.

    like there is like you just haven't realised it like or like most likely people here are like too ignorant and stuff to classify it properly like. That, and it's quite a diverse population in the tropical geographical location that is "suburbia". There's quite often a Tim McVeigh, travellers, knackers, job-stealing foreigners, and of course like little like brats like D4 heads like all in "suburbia".

    Karoma it's either this or a Tim McVeigh thread, take your pick. Good point about the diversity.

    American suburbs are nearly all lah dee dah.

    Here its a split of skang and the D4 belt.

    Unfortunately both areas have small but hardcore goth communities who insist on shoving their nirvana loving hoodie filth in our faces.

    Give me skangs or D4 snobs over these dickheads anyday.

    When i was growing up (still working on it) there wasn't anywhere near the kind of tribalism that you see now, i mean there were rival groups but never with such clear cut divisions and dress codes.
    Seems that despite all the wealth its only got harder.

    ...I was being ironic


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    well theres ntohing wrong with being a teenager what i have always hated is how they allow themselves to become segrated its like kids in school would would argue over some football team or something sad like that. or say i hate that school just because soemone created a fake riverarly to try to get kids into said sport.

    I just dont like how suggestable kids/teenagers allow themselves to be, and allow is the correct word


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    young kids/teenagers feel safer in large groups, whether that means whacking on white make-up and black clothes or throwing on a tracksuit, rolling em into your socks and wearing a peaky cap... its all association to a particular group.

    Members of travelling community, skangers, rugger buggers & rugger huggers, emo´s, goths, punks, townies... boggers, list goes on and on. Chances are you fit into one of these groups of people, maybe not by choice, maybe by association.
    Dont really know the suburban type exists in ireland, possibly D4 because its closest to our american counterparts idea.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    yes but why do people feel the need to fit into these groups?
    why do they not just do what they want to do?

    No offence ,but i have seen this several times its "Piebald" as in Piebald Pony.

    I wouldn't like to see you go up to a suburban teen and talk about pie balls.
    She might think she was gettin the Cornish pasties.;)
