"In the mish mash of youth cults a new one was starting to emerge. One that would dominate the street looks of the city for decades to come. The Scally/casual look or Perry boys as they were known in Manchester. Kaiser was one of the first people in the city to adopt the look. The first Perry boys were coming from the mod/skin scene. Perry boys were coming out, just local lads really not trying to be anything... dead easy. The Perry boys were Manchester's pre-Scally scallies."

I think roughly it means, and please stop me if you think I'm ovestating it, that a bunch of lads started wearing Fred Perry. In Manchester. Before the scallies.

I think Kuz would be most closely able to help you with the specifics of said cultural apocalypse

it just probably means that some oiled up gayboys in the north of england were going round with turn-ups, showing off their white socks and saying 'does my arse look right tight in these sta-press kecks, chook'. and then meeting up with some southern frootbats and comparing fuckin centre sheds or side partings, and then jerking off watching fucking Smuggler Spraycock or summat! we never had that shit in ireland thank fuck!

Yes, exactly. Chavs are the bastard offspring of Ian Brown.
Couldn't put it better myself.
