Dresiarz

Dres [drɛs] or dresiarz [ˈdrɛɕaʂ] (plural dresy [ˈdrɛsɨ] or dresiarze [drɛˈɕaʐɛ]) is a Polish subculture or class of young males who stereotypically live in urban tower blocks or tenement houses.

[1] The dresiarz phenomenon was first observed in the 1990s and is sometimes compared to the British chavs, Scottish neds, Australian bogans or Russian gopniks.

[1] Dorota Masłowska's novel White and Red[4] is one of the first books published featuring the dresiarz phenomenon.

Dresy have been a theme of (usually critical) songs by Dezerter and Big Cyc.

They are also popular negative characters in the comic strip Jeż Jerzy.
