I've heard Townie stateside pretty much used interchangeably with Hippy. For example, a pothead with long dirty hair and psychadelic clothing might be called a townie. It is generally used as a term of derision.

I've only heard the term a few times, so correct me if I'm wrong. I don't think I've heard the rest of those (with the exception of wigger and goth).

A townie is usually descibed as a Stripey Lacoste top, tracksuit bottoms, rockport boots and a shaved head hidden by a baseball cap....

In Glasgow, they're definitely Neds, but in Edinburgh they are still usually Casuals, although the Casual movement petered out maybe 6 years ago.

Anyone who hasn't seen Ali-G should check out old 11 O'clock Show episodes. Also of interest would be Daisy Donovan's interviews...very funny, and they have Daisy in them! Two very good reasons to watch!!
