CASUALS









 * History:**

The casual culture grew out of the mod revival in the 70s when fans of big english clubs followed their teams to italy and france and discovered fine european designer clothing. They brought these fashions back to England and they quickly caught on. Fans wore these neutral clothes instead of their club colors so they wouldn't attract attention from rival club's supporters and the police. By the 80s, every English club had their own european label-clad group of supporters. They helped shape the fasion of england to what it is today. And they got in fights a lot.


 * Religion:**

Most English people are Christians, but there are some Muslims, Hindus and Jews, and a small percentage of Buddhists and Zoroastrians.

Christian Beliefs. 1. god made the world and everything in it 2. jesus is the son of god 3. jesus died for christians' sins 4. jesus rose into heaven 5. jesus will come back to judge people 6. 7. the virgin mary was conceived by the holy spirit 8. christians must repent their sins 9. anyone can go to heaven 10. man is the child of god


 * Music:**

Post-punk was huge with the casuals in the 70s, when they were first starting. The 80s brought the mod revival along with ska and pop. In the early 90s casuals were all about the madchester(indie rock from manchester) and rave scenes. Brit pop was cool in the 90s. The 2000s brought indie music to england and the casuals embrace it to this day.


 * Taboos:**

Casuals hate 'journos'(journalist) and 'yanks'(americans) according to the 2003 film //Green Street Hooligans//. They hate cocky youngsters according to '//The Football Factory.//'


 * Sex Roles:**

Police don't really pay attention to females when trying to identify potential troublemakers, so Casuals' girlfriends got recruited to do things that required finesse, like scouting a pub(bar) for their rivals. Then the guys know if they outnumber the local boys when they go in. If a fight breaks out, they don't want to be up against 40 crazy Stoke(small football club) fans.


 * Food:**

They don't produce food, they buy it at grocery stores like you and I. They go to pubs and eat/drink... mostly drink. Popular foods are bangers and mash(sausage and potatoes), burgers, lasagne, and fish & chips. Popular drinks are beer.

Bangers and Mash


 * Social Stratification:**

There aren't really leadership positions among casuals. Each group may have a main-man, but there's no formal organization of power.


 * Language:**

Most speak English, but there is extensive usage of slang and uncommon uses of words. danny=idea ... from female impersonator danny la rue bill=police ... old bill on the wagon=abstaining from alcohol get hitched=get married peanut smuggler=female with noticeably erect nipples piddle about=waste time ear bash=one who talks unceasingly
