Dresiarz
The Dresiarze ( Polish: sports suit wearer; singular: Dresiarz ) are a Polish subculture of young people that is very often confused with that of the skinheads .
In Poland it increased in the 1990s after the turn of the government . The name comes from the Polish word dres or spodnie dresowe , which translates as training suit or training pants.
Characteristic
The subculture differs considerably from alternative life models of the punks or hippies and appropriates conservative values of social advancement, which it demonstrates with the display of wealth. The Dresiarze are ascribed a cult of money, but their concept of wealth, which is derived from the proletarian way of life, is considered vulgar and without culture . Furthermore, they can be compared with young gangsters like those found in Afro-American groups. It is not uncommon for Dresiarze to not shy away from criminal acts in order to achieve their goal in life but also to satisfy boredom .
In addition to the sportswear that gives it its name, preferably the well-known brands, Dresiarze are often hung with silver or gold chains and sometimes wear hooded shirts and baseball caps . In the early years this group also characterized the music genre of disco or disco-polo music , but now more hip-hop and rap . Many hooligans in Poland also wear the same style of clothing.
Dresiarze in culture
In 1998 the Polish music group Dezerter describes how this group came into being in the song "Od Wschodu do Zachodu" from the album "Ziemia jest Płaska". In 2002 the rock group Big Cyc created a parody of this group in the song "Dres" from the album "Zmień z nami płeć". In 2003 an amateur film "Wożonko" was made about the clash of the gangster world with the Dresiarzy, the director of the film is Abelard Giza. Dresiarze are negative heroes of comedian Jeż Jerzy .
