What is Scangers?
1.
Scangers are people usually from disadvantaged or impoverished working class areas of the northside of Dublin city and are also found in similarly poor parts of the mostly affleunt south. In the northside of the city they are commonplace and most youth happen to subscribe to the scanger culture whereby tracksuits (preferably nike) or trackies are worn, as are burberry hats and jewlery (bling) is worn. This on a whole is the cultural dress of the people and is complimented with thick drawlish dublin accents and an in-built expectation to show contempt for the authorities. There is of course exceptions to this and some area of the north are similar to the affleunt south e.g Howth, sutton, clontarf, castleknock, bayside and in these areas the D4 culture is prevelent
