This in-depth historical, sociological, geographic and cultural study traces bogan culture back to society's very foundation, as well as identifying prototypical and stereotypical bogans through time. Opens with a brief discussion of the bogan of the 19th century, morphing to pre-war, then to the popularly held notion of the 'bogan' being 80s metal, flannel and Victoria Bitter.
After exploring this stereotypical example the authors then track the leap to the 21st century bogan, clad in garish garb, holding their nationalism close to their chest and slavishly following every celebrity trend in magazines.
