Neds might look like hiphoppers in those pics, but there are distinct differences. Neds are like what happens if you take a bunch of smelly retards and dress them up in (a very limited choice of) hiphop gear.
· They all look the same. Seriously. They all dress the same, wear the same brands (nike, kappa, etc), and have the same haircuts (gel on the front, making it look like they've stuck the front of their head in a bucket of grease). They're scared to look different, since neds will attack anything that's different without provocation. A gang of neds look like they've been cloned from the same bad egg cell.
· They wear white, which is not generally the best colour for people who never wash their clothes. Their stuff is usually dirty and disgusting. They generally smell of marijuana, bootleg cigarettes, ultra-cheap drink, and last night's fish and chip shop sausage supper. A real hiphop fan would never let themselves get into such a condition.
· They prefer rave and hard techno, not hip hop. In fact, most neds won't even know what hip hop is. They'll probably say it sounds "poofy".
7 years on and it's still true, though the musical "taste" may have drifted slightly.
