In this video, we delve into the world of the Roadman subculture and how it has evolved from its predecessor, the Chav culture. Roadmen have become a prominent youth subculture in the UK, with their own fashion style, music taste, and language.
We will take a closer look at the distinctive characteristics of Roadman fashion, including the ubiquitous puffer jackets, Nike Air Max trainers, and Burberry caps. We'll also explore the origins of the Roadman culture and how it has evolved over time, with influences from Grime, UK Drill & UK Rap music and the rise of social media. Join us as we investigate the rise of the Roadman subculture, its impact on youth fashion, and its future in the ever-changing landscape of youth culture.

Coming from Jamaica & seeing our culture of violence & how closely related to a lot of modern Dancehall music i'd say the music does play a big role in influencing a lot of the violence & killings. They promote it & cheer it on normalising it into the culture. Poverty is a very poor excuse for crime & violence, poor people aren't all killer savages & some of the poorest countries in the world are also some of the most peaceful (see Malawi, Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, Indonesia etc.) Culture & mindset cause crime & violence.

Trying to get them to understand and see sense is another thing entirely.

The only difference is the scale of operation, and while white collar businessmen are lorded, the blue collar version are simply called gangsters. Even the Music and sub culture you speak of is monetized by corporate businesses in music and fashion. And creators would be lucky to see anything more than ten percent of their own creations.

Just few months after I moved to England from Eastern Europe, a balaclava wearing boys stopped me while I was riding my bike through an underpass. I am not very familiar with this culture at all, I thought they would ask for a lighter or cigarette or something. He mumbled something like " oi whatcha doin big man " "get out off your bike " "dis bike is mine now bruv" etc.. Prior to moving to England I have served 7 years in Afghanistan of which 3 years separately I was a close combat instructor for their military. Fought agianst talibans etc, and these balaclavas ( i didn't even know they are called that ) were making me feel uneasy. One of them start pulling me down and I started punching them one by one, they just crumbled and couldn't believed that I actually fought them. They were screaming and yelling and threatening which I couldn't comprehend totally. Some lady called the cops and she accused that I was the one trying to mug the boys :D The police arrived and they put handcuffs on me, while the kids were spitting on me. I managed to stand up while the cop was trying to lay on me, and kicked the balls of the spitting piece of sht. They wanted to put me in for aggravated assault on the cops. But eventually I was released without charges. I learned a lot since that incident, those boys learn from it too. Main thing is that the moment you try to defend yourself with equal amount of violence against criminals in the UK the law is becoming their friend, not yours. The UK law and police doesn't care about innocent civilians getting robbed, stabbed or killed and all you can do is sit there and take it as a good boy. If you retaliate and start hitting back or try to stop someone who is commiting a crime, you become even more guilty than them. Basically the whole justice system is based on a mind boggling understanding and tollerance towards criminals and if you break that God forbid, you will take the law in your hands which is absolutely unacceptable according to UK laws. And these criminal parasites are taking advantage of it every second, every moment of their vile and absolutely unnecessary existence. I have very strong opinions about criminals and what we should do with them. The only place they belong is the end of a rope, especially those violent types which stop you walking, break into your home or threaten you with hurting you. Whenever I see the entitlement of 7-10 teenager groups, which due to their number think they are the biggest gangsters, imagine these little twits getting on their hands automatic assault rifles. What will be the outcome? They will become the same evil terrorists which will cut your pregnant wife's belly open and burn her alive with gasoline because it's fking Tuesday. The audacity of this country allowing the society to be run down by certain evil individuals and not doing ANYTHING to stop it is ridiculous. These mugs have chosen their path in life. They made an active selection. They have chosen to destroy, disturb, annoy and hurt the society. They do not deserve to live period.

It's not just in the UK. The entire western world has this attitude towards criminals. In Sweden there are several cases in which someone stepped in to stop a deadly assault, but hit the attacker a little too hard (or with two strikes, instead of one) and were sent to prison, even though they saved someones life. These judges, that have no experience with violence in their entire lives, think that someone in an adrenaline fueled, violent situation should just do the perfect amount of violence to deter an attacker and nothing more. One punch too much and it's jail time. The message they are sending to the population is that if you see an old lady being choked to death in her car by a large man, just let her die. Don't get involved or you will have to spend 5 years in prison. This is an actual case in Sweden by the way, the old lady was saved by a guy that came up behind her attacker and hit him twice (one time too many according to the Swedish court system). I remember the lady saying later in an interview that "she would maybe consider visiting her savior in prison". So yeah he got absolutely nothing for saving her life, it would have been in his own best interest to just let her die.

This video is fairly educational but is missing a few things: 1, roadmen existed before 2010 2, the first roadman to get a music ban was the Peckham rapper 'stigs' aka 'tiny butch' (William) in 2011, at that time he did rap since UK drill didn't exist yet (PYG, GMG/ANTI, Peckham) 3, one major influence for roadmen wearing Balaclavas/face coverings in their music videos was the murder case of Zac Olumegbon aka 'lil Zac' (TN1 gang, Tulse Hill). One of his murderers Jamal Moore aka 'jkid' aka 'JJ' aka 'Younger sneakbo' almost got away with the crime, however police recognised his big nose from CCTV and music videos, then and caught, arrested and linked Jamal Moore to the murder case. He was charged with murder and given 14 years in 2010/2011 I forgot the exact year (GAS gang, Brixton)

​@infantjones because it's minimizing the efforts it took them to get out. if you try to talk to the normal people in these communities, they're tired and they're targeted because they're seen as weak or labeled a rat if they're just trying to get by making an honest living. It's not easy to get out of that situation. Those who do should be celebrated but they're seen as traitors in the community. Terrorizing people all your life and then expecting people to "understand where they're coming from" is absolutely an insult to someone who made it out and contributed positively to society, probably being harrased by said individuals during that time. They see their oppressors being celebrated, cared for and given a chance they never were afforded. It reinforces the behavior that if you want people to feel bad for you, don't try to make an honest living. It's better to indulge in unfortunate activities, harm your community and poison them, as long as you can get views. Then people will come on the news to defend you and your actions, because no one cares or rallies for the people who took the other option to live a normal life.

As someone who went to primary school in England and had a friend who lived with his grandparents while his mom lived in London, I never really understood why he didn’t live with his parents until I got older and learnt about the knife crime and how it’s become more and more of an issue in places like London and Nottingham and was a issue in Scotland before. The reason I’m saying this is because a lot of the time as black people I feel like we’re so quick to blame society and say “what can society do for us” and in turn say stuff like “all they’re doing is speaking their reality the wider issue is why is that their reality” but for me it comes more down to responsibility, everyone knows that the only reasons knife crime continues is because 1 young boys are too scared to be “caught lacking” a lot of the fighting is via which neighbourhood people are from/post code revenge stabbing a where someone got stabbed then they themselves or their friends go out and do a revenge stabbing to “even the odds” but all that does is continue the cycle. The thing id say that would have a bigger impact on youth is not only giving them some sort of feeling of being safe but also having real father figures that are around to show how not to ask what society can do for you but how you can contribute to society. I’m tired of people either listening to it and fuelling it and just kind of going along and saying “they’re just expressing themselves” the lyrics are dark af and borderline evil tbh we need to stop furthering it. That all comes from the wider community not the government in my opinion, the government itself is a mess so why wait for the government or the police to fix these types of issues, it all starts by people setting positive examples of ways to get out of their poor situations that they’re born into. A lot of the gang related stuff in London anyway is just another export of the bloods and crips culture when they initially started out the UK tried to copy that stuff like we always usually do when it comes to American black culture.

You can't just let people in from other countries though. Roadman is not an organic british culture, it is foreign.

This is what happens with the erosion of the family unit, hope, and a sense of belonging. Same for any youth culture sadly. Most kids either grow up in a home situation of abject poverty, abusive upbringing wether violence or mentally, or the kind of family people would assume is better because of more money coming in because both parents work. Even the most functional families below the middle class background these days are squeezed so heavily, some kids want for nothing, yet they never really see their parents which just means the direction and love isn't there even if all other factors seem abundant. A lot of the older generations will never understand the loneliness of these people growing up, so many different lifestyles of the modern family all really equate to the same damaging effects be they financial, mentally or socially. World now is very different than our father's was, one parent could work and sustain a family leaving actual care for kids growing up, society was less warped and there wasn't the rampant commercialism at any cost, politicians and supposed leaders at least appeared more decent and respectful on the whole. Everything about modern society has become so twisted, and the next thing followed by the next will only get progressively worse as the younger generations feel more and more disenfranchised. Society is in crisis, big changes are needed.

Grime actually developed out of Garage music which is UK house music. Grime had a more darker tone with young people from deprived areas in London talking about crime, murder, respect, their neigboorhood etc. This also is connected to the physcological state of many British West Indian youths in parts of London feeling hopeless, low self esteem, lack of connection with their surounding and society. So it led to a culture of degeneracy what gave rise to these grime, drill music, roadman culture, knife crime glorification.

Fact check : 'Roadman' did not come from chavs. 'Roadman' is just a continuation of predominantly young black street culture, born out of London council estates in the 90s. Chavs actually partly came from 'roadman'. Outter London and beyond, white council esates had youths dressing a certain way, tracksuits etc. But as the London street culture started to get picked up by them, like wearing certain designer clothes, trainers, hoodies, etc, they didn't quite imitate it well and it ended up looking the way it did. Their feral behaviour that followed with it lead to them being labelled Chavs. As for debate about the influence of music, yes 100%, but it influences others around it, those who were not involved in the first place. It is 100% boasting about violence and how much of a badman they are. And it's that same 'badman' culture which got UK Garage shutdown and the same thing happened with Jungle. Once the music gets harder, it attracts the 'man dem' in their groups, and the events become a hotbed for violence to kick off. That was literally what brought UK Garage and Jungle events to an end, destroying the scene. But, mc's and rapper etc, use to be waffling about they did. It was all fabricated, whatever to sound good. The problem is that youngsters don't know that, and it influences them. Now you have a gang culture tied to the drug trade, and these dudes are bringing it into the music. I could go into alot of detail and explain how things evolve, but i'll say two things, one, is that 'gangsta rap' from US in the early 90s is where this entire thing started from, and it was a fabrication by a Luciferian music industry to sell records to a mainstream audience. The same program of selling 'cool' gangsta black men to white suburb kids has been repeated over and over ever since. Two, the environments of the council estate and rough areas, continues to make youth like this. I saw the Africans arrive in London, all sweet and innocent, but eventually turn into these guys, absorbing the same street culture that was already there. But this existed to an extent before there were any black people in the UK. It was about classism. The areas of the poorer working class would breed crime. I know old gangsters who are more sound of mind, and they tell me they were born into absolute poverty. No chance at anything. They had to make their way. People don't know what poverty was like back then. It was real poverty. No food. No extra clothes. No hot water. etc. Not a penny. Had to find a way to get anything. Anyway, this same setup is still intact. New migrants are put into these areas, and they become just the same. Straight into crime. But these dickheads have created a 'badman' culture of boasting about how big they are, glamourising violence, and it has been repeating since the 90s. The streets are now f*cked, because everyone has got a knife, and these souless zombies don't care if they die, if they go prison, or if they take a life. By doing this they are helping the system to f*ck them even harder. And then spreading it to their own communities, and then to the next generations. Same thing is happening in America. But you see, America was the root of it. And the root is Luciferian. You see how evil works ? Bad creates bad. Neverending chain of destruction. It's true that the 'badman' culture from Jamaica had influence in the 90s, but the UK Ragga days were short lived really. It has been US Rap influenced ever since as far as violence is concerned. UK never had US style gangs. It use to be groups of 'friends', reputation based. Respect was in place. People use to be very real, and being called a 'gang' would be seen as fake and laughable. It's about time people stopped the nonsense and free'd themselves. And to the Marxists and Anarchists who think it's ok to use these boys as a way to teardown Western civilisation, the blood is on your hands too. Wake up everyone

A lot of what you have said I was about to write. There is so , much you said that's true. I come from the streets and poor background too. But instead of believing the same old attitude that as a young mixed race teenage boy that there's no hope in life. The system is against me and all that bullshit that is constantly perpetuated over and over again. I had witnessed serious violence in the moss Side gang culture. As early as 1984 there was three main gangs. The gangsters driving nice cars, wearing big jewellery, with colour coded designer clothes. Pepperhill was blue, Gooch red bandanas and olive green, Hillbillies from Cheetham Hill in a dark forest green, all influenced by crips and bloods colour code. In 1986/7 most violent attacks involved coshes or a small rounders bat, snooker balls in socks. Shortly this progressed to using machetes in attacks and witnessing those attacks still haunts me 30 years later. One serious machete attack led to the first drive by shooting which was really intended as a scare tactic. Unfortunately those dudes using a gun for the first time without any training will have found a fired gun has a mind of its own and dances and leaps in all directions, leaving bullets flying into lampposts cars, doors and windows of random houses, 80 or more bullets fired and not one hitting the intended target. That first drive by shooting did have bullets that hit human bodies, and those bodies were 4 young children. And now revenge was imminent. The machete and cosh attacks were over now it's GUN WAR, and what I call the longest game of tennis in history. Tit for tat, back and forth the attacks went, I knew young boys who were nothing big, were not fighters, didn't have a bad reputation and yet the gang culture got them, now with a PKK gun in their hands at 14 years old, it wasn't long before they had grown fear, gained power and plenty fake respect. Now these young boys felt like they were something, they belonged to something and had a thing missing from their lives called "Love". And that is the fuel behind gang culture, roadman, drill grime and whatever else exists in parts of society. The thing is I know some of the older gang members who were shit scared of Somali's because them dudes are real barehanded violent beasts. And they've experienced real heavy violence as young children as young as six years old back in Africa. But back then Somali's in Manchester UK weren't involved in gang life. Mostly gangs were made up of full Jamaican ethnicity, or mixed race heritage and at that time a small handful of English lads too. Some of them were real hard fighters before the gang, quite a few members soft headed not fighters but could take a beating just like me. It's those young boys who aren't hard as nails who use weapons and guns mostly out of fear. How else do they protect themselves if attacked by a group of 6ft 15 year olds who have all got reputations on the streets and seriously feared by all. At 15 year's old I was accused of something I didn't do, my friend took a serious beating from a respected and feared gang leader and I went into hiding after the gangsters sister and team caught me put machetes to my knees and a cold shiny Beretta in my mouth right to the back of my throat. Three weeks later, I had to go visit my friend, and it was that day while hanging out close to his home that one of the highly respected older gangster came and chilled out with us. He had heard the news. Out of his waistband and sock he pulled two guns. One of my friends gets all hyper and giddy when one gun was put in his hands, as he acts out all the fantasy ways hrs going to kill our enemy, my other friend who took the serious beating did the same thing without as much giddiness of his brother, but still, he was acting out a fantasy. Both of them didn't have it in them to REALLY shoot someone. And then the gun was placed in my hand, I raised it up, two hands on the butt one finger in the trigger and eyes straight down the barrel lining up the sights at front and rear of the barrel. My mind had the vision of what would happen. Calmly I lowered the gun and our gangster friend then pointed out that only me has got the killer mentality. It's the quiet ones you have to be careful of. He then seriously asked me if I want to go and shoot our attacker that very night. , And all that would have done is start another tennis match of killings so I faced him barehanded. I couldn't hide forever. And I was innocent. He accepted my plea and I went and did what was thought impossible, I got my arse into college with grants and turned my life around. 10 years after college, I had run my own graphics company for five years and still doing illustrations in the drum and bass hip hop scene and I was approached to do some youth workshop with challenging youths from Moss Side and Hulme. I thought this would be easy as I am them and have been them. That first workshop was easy and it got me well paid work for the next 7 years, and in that time I was a role figure and inspiration to huge numbers of youth. And because I could relate to them I got results and most satisfying for me is having that much impact on someone that I changed their lives and 5 young people who I worked with are now living successful happy lives when family and society had given up on them. And the worst thing I see getting worse and worse is rich kids wanting to claim poverty talking street slang, attracted to gang life. And that's the power of fantasy recordings played out glamourising gang culture. I could go on with more but for now that's enough 😊 but I will say one thing, that when the govt increased jail time dramatically for ANYONE involved with gun crime, that's when everyone started using knives again BSCK TO WHERE IT STARTED IN THE EIGHTIES

Thanks for sharing brother, i have no doubt people like us could write a few books on the matter lol. I forget about Moss side, yea it was happening up there. Not as frequent and widespread as what we're seeing around the UK today, but amongst the gangs themselves definitely. You mentioned Somalis, they came to London too, and were mostly calm, but now they have big gangs set up, and when someone kicks them off, it's straight up raiding areas in masses with machetes. Albanians were another group who were from poverty and trained in crime from young. From a London perspective they changed everything. They turned 'drug dealing' into a serious organised drug trade for Cocaine, and of course they were simply bringing European ogranised crime into London. They use to work for Italian mafia at one point, since they were the suppliers. They kept to themselves, violence only connected to business, but it was the street youths who began shifting the gear who got organised into gangs and armed. That was the root of the change. Once the government cut the police force it was the beginning of the end. The stats show a clear correlation between the cut and the increase in knife crime. It spread to those around them basically. As you said, people realise they have to defend themselves. Before you know it everyone is carrying. And when there is no police presence.. boy, people do what they want.

Very few drill rappers make it out on music alone. Think of how many are locked up right now or just constantly in and out, or dead. Even the ones who achieved comfortable success like Digga, Russ, Headie are still targets or still involved in gang activity. They face the choice of dropping the drill stuff and trying to get off road and therefore lose their violent appeal (and face the risk of getting checked if they still rap about gang life) or stay true to the gang and stay involved in the culture and the risks that go along with it.

It's interesting because even through theres a big difference between cultures but metal went through a similar stage. A lot of black metal such as the band mayhem had lyrics and album covers that admitted and provided evidence to murder cases. But this stereotype spread to every genre of metal and if you look into it closely, the two genres have many similarities in terms of origin and culture so it makes sense that even though there is a almost hatrid at sometimes between the two cultures, they share a lot more than we think.
@adity.atiwari
@adity.atiwari Год назад
The thing is, metal lyrics got FAR more violent in the last 30 years, but violence isn't really a part of the culture. George Fischer sings about the most grotesque shit but is basically a suburban dad kinda guy. Mayhem was just a part of the nuisance that lowlifes gathering in Helvete caused. Hip-hop is on a totally different level.
@ajgumpper
@ajgumpper Год назад
@@adity.atiwari The lyrical content itself is also different because in metal, hard rock or whatever, it's less... literal in a way. I'm a big fan of Linkin Park, because each of their songs can mean something different. And even if some of them have a clear message, you can still interpret them in very different ways. Hip hop isn't really like that. However, despite the two being opposites in terms of lyrics, I find myself a huge fan of both genres! :))

Death metal treats its violent lyrics like horror more than anything, the whole point is that it's grotesque and awful. 99% of artists never actually idolize murderers. But with drill, they kinda directly promote violence and the artists are actual criminals.

Roadman is completely different with chavs. "Chavs" were a lower class of white British young men and women. "Roadman" is predominantly a Black British culture with the term stemming from the late 80's and 90's back when lower class Black people in London specifically South London were still going through major prejudice and discrimination even after slavery in 18th century Britain. Roadman was how mostly white people referred young troublesome black boys in London but then the black community decided to embrace it and now it has become a huge part of the image of black culture in London. Chav's and Roadmen are two completely different groups from two different backgrounds. You can never refer to a black person in London as a Chav it is quite unheard of because it is associated with lower class whites its like comparing white Americans named "Hillbilly" or "red neck" to African Americans are named "hood people" or "ghetto" they are two complete different groups of people with different backgrounds.

If you are interested in that, then you should look up "The Great Northern Biker War" by Count Dankula. It was a huge biker war, taking place in pretty much every Scandinavian country at the same time, after the Hells Angels and shortly after Bandidos opened up their first clubhouses in Denmark, and then all the other Scandinavian countries. Bikers then broke into military weapon storage facilities, and stole military grade weapons like Rocket-Launchers, Grenades and Combat Rifles. I don't wanna spoil all that much, but its fair to say that the war lasted for quite a time, and during that time, those RPGS/Rocket launchers got worked quite a bit.
