Often a blanket, derisive term used by those who are fortunate enough to be endowed with a new car and a tidy stock portfolio for their eighteenth birthday. While not all those who are unfortunate enough to live in the western suburbs conform to the bogan stereotype, snobs and eastern suburbs wannabe's will generalise about anyone who they deem not of their ilk. let's not confuse bogans with westies, and even if we do, some people just like black jeans and vb's and if all they can afford is an early model ford or holden then good luck to them. Lot's of luck to the lot of them.

The definitions of Bogan here are mostly by non Bogan contributors and as such give a highly bias view.
In Western Australia bogans were a bona fide youth culture embracing heavy metal music and Aussie muscle cars. Bogan took over from the old 'Rocker' term that had been around since the 50's and 60's. In fact the word Bogan is a variant of the word Bodgie, an old Australian word for Rocker.
A typical school in WA in the eighties would be divided into Surfies, Bogans and Mods(who also included skinheads, punks, goths and other anglophiles).
We did have a uniform as bogans, black jeans, black ripple sole desert boots, flannelette shirt and blue singlet or black t-shirt with your favourite metal band print(mine was AC/DC). Yes there were mullets but we generally shaved our heads.
We drove any H series Holdens and motorbikes were also popular, nowadays a true bogan is hard to distinguish from a Bikie and many of us got envolved with Bikie Clubs. But a true bogan is a Rev-head with a love of Metal. Eastern States people have expanded the term to include just any white trash.
