Eshay

Eshayism is the ideology of "Eshays", an Australian urban youth "lad" subculture. The term can refer to individuals within the subculture, or to the subculture itself, and can have various other meanings in different contexts.

Eshays, or lads, are often considered stereotypically hypermasculine and accept crime and violence. They may be affiliated with other local youths from a postcode, hang out in groups, use slang derived from Pig Latin, wear sportswear, and engage in intimidating behavior against their opps. Common fashion items include bumbags and Nike shoes. Eshays are usually frowned upon by unaware old people and authoritarians, and are often used as a way to generate fear and clicks by.

History
The foundations of Eshayism come from the Eshay subculture, which started as early as the 1980's as "eshlads" in Adelaide, but became popular around the late 2010's.

The word "eshay" apparently derives from the Pig Latin for "yes" (originating as an affirmation). The term "adlay",Pig Latin for "lad," refers to the same subculture.

Foundations and Beliefs
Eshays doesn't really care for politics or philosophy, and would rather spend time vandalizing property, rolling people for shoes, fighting in unchons, hanging out at train stations or Westfields, doing drugs, blasting music on public transport, defending or attack their postcode(s), riding scooters, speaking in Pig Latin, partying, going to EDM concerts, creating Gatorbeugs, hakking, and eating zinger boxes.

Personality and Behavior
Eshayism obviously talks and acts like a stereotypical Eshay. Talks by putting phrases in Pig Latin, and has a severe smoking/vaping addiction.
