Just noticed this thread, and I'd say if anything we'd be closest to the Scottish, why was this not included in the poll!!!? Like republican USA??

is this a píss take.

Some words\things that spring to mind which are unique to and a part of Irish culture;

Bódhran
Uilleann Pipes
Coddle (Dublin)
St Brigids Cross
Colcannon
St Patrick
Shilelagh
Poitín
Guinness
James Joyce - Dublin
Patrick Kavanagh
GAA
Fionn Mc Cumhail
Newgrange - not neccessarily unique in that there's loads of burial chambers around the world, this is on e of the most famous!

There's a hell of alot of other stuff that's part of our history and culture, some of it is intangible, such as our attitude, speech and demeanour, but it's there. We most definitely have our own culture, but every other culture also has some of ours as well as others in theirs also. That applies to us as well!

Just noticed this thread, and I'd say the postings here are anti-Irish if anything

I wonder is it mere coincedence that several contributers to this thread are banned?

As for the propositition, Brit popular is the only sane choice as it reflects what the typical Irish youth soaks up from popular media.

Irish youth culture is an extension of same with a few olde-Irelande
bits tacked on for old times sake.

Irish youth have no culture.

Just a mix of other popular cultures, ie UK & US.

Dustaz · 06-12-2002 2:21pm

THANKS BJJ, YUO WILL RESCUE US FROM TEH FREEMASON ANTI-CATHOLIC NASTY PEOPLE. TEHY WEAR TINFOIL UNDERWEAR AND CONTREOL OUR THOUGHTS!!!!! OLOLOL

Give it a couple of years and Irish Culture will be completely unrecogniseable from the arran sweater brigade of years gone by.(and not a moment too soon)
Look at London, Paris, New York. Lots of different ethnic comunities inter mingling to create a new breed of Irish people. Hopefully the more tollerant and broad minded kind.
Not to mention the women.
Seen the ad??? 1/2 polish 1/2 bengaulie etc. Phfwaar.

BJJ · 07-12-2002 2:44am

OOops!

I must have hit a little nerve,
I've clearly insulted Dustaz and his great East Dublin Culture.

Or else he's just behaving very strangely

Pugsley · 08-12-2002 11:44pm

A band called 'In Flames' said it perfectly in the song 'ordinary story'......
A world where fashion outshines morality.......
Says it all really.

But for a while we've tried to market and sell what merit we had left to our forgotten Culture.

Gaelic Football during the summer.

Hurling please c'mon

“Irish culture is dead”

this is BS, as cultures don’t die they develop, expand and take in parts of other cultures

Rolo Tomasi · 08-01-2003 4:14pm

I am really glad I found this post as I would like to make one brief point. well no one disjointed point. several disjointed points/

As was said be fore a culture cannot die. If there are Irish people there will be an Irish culture.

People who claim the Irish culture is dead are (now I know this is a generaliation, so try not to dwell on this too much) slightly foolish. They want to be spoon fed a culture, not have to discover it for themselves.

finally, culture consists of many different attributes such as opinions, attitudes and idea's. Irish opinions and attitudes and ideas are very much our own and set us apart from other nations.

So please dont claim that a culture is dead, especially if you hold an Irish passport

carrotcake · 08-01-2003 5:29pm

i gotta agree with previous posters saying that outside dublin is where our own culture can be found

id have to say irish youth are pretty unique. fair enough ya do get the cliques, but most people cop on to them and figure out their phoniness

i myself am 17, like listening to Christy Moore and the bit of trad which is ''uncool''. But it doesnt mean im not technologically challenged or stuck in the past. Personally i dont fit into any of those brackets, and where some of my friends may borrow aspects of some of them i cant think of any who exclusively fit into those categories. As far as i can see mos of the youth are laid back and open to a lot of different, new experiences etc. and willing to take the world with a pinch of salt and take nothing TOO seriously. Now if that isnt a very irish characteristic i dont know what is
