Eshay (/ˈɛʃeɪ/) is a slang expression associated with an Australian urban youth subculture that originated in Sydney sometime in the 2000s; the term can refer to individuals within the subculture, or to the subculture itself, and can have various other meanings in different contexts. The name originates from Pig Latin for the word "sesh," a slang term used to describe smoking marijuana. The term "Adlay" (/ˈædleɪ/), Pig Latin for "Lad" is also sometimes used.
Eshays, or Lads are often considered stereotypically hyper-masculine, inclined to crime and violence,[1] affiliated with other local youths from a postcode,[2] generally hang out in groups, use Pig Latin, wear sportswear and engage in intimidatory and anti-social behaviour.[3] They are known for enjoying Hip hop, and hardstyle music.
In 2019, UK Drill culture heavily influenced the direction of the subculture,[4][1][2] as Mount Druitt rap group Onefour's drill tracks became viral, drawing similarities between the two, with the British music being more appealing to Australian audiences due to the wider variety of similarities in their two underworld cultures.
Fashion
Clothing brands such as Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Lacoste and notably Nautica and Gant are popular with Eshays,[4] complemented with sportswear brands such as Nike, Adidas, Under Armour and Ellesse. Their distinctive outfits trace their early origins to the emerging late-1990s to 2000s street style scene, where cuffed track-suit pants, windbreaker jackets (commonly Nautica, Sergio Tacchani or Tommy Hilfiger), Nike TN Air Max shoes, bum-bags worn across the chest, popped-collar striped polos and bent-brim hats or Nike dri-fit caps balanced precariously on the crowns of one's head began to gain popularity.[1]
