I didn’t notice it until my brother introduced me to a bunch of his mates and they literally look the same. My brother’s in his mid to late 20’s and it’s like this weird fashion choice mixed with weird slang, “mush” instead of “mate”, “minging”, “safe”, day to day attire of him and his friends group is always some sports branded baseball cap, usually Nike and grey or black, gold chain necklaces, matching tracksuit (again usually Nike, black or grey) and expensive Nike Air Max trainers that cost like 120 quid. They all listen to the same music and I saw my brother watching videos which had similar groups of people doing stuff. Is this some new trend I didn’t notice until now? Can’t keep up nowadays

edit: spelling

        I’ll take your word for it. It’s been a while since I lived and worked in the UK.

        Mind you, when I did, I worked in Coventry, so…

      They will spend their time hanging around the entrance of the corner shop generally just being annoyingly in the way, but they reckon they’re intimidating in their gang.

        I find it a bit like bird watching.

        The small gangs roam around the street. Chest puffed out whilst making loud but guff calls.

        There must be an online guide on how to walk with the confidence of a millionaire whilst simultaneously trying to borrow a pound.
