European Gypsy Subcultures?

The lnk below will give you a broad insight of the Romani people and their historic background.

However, the numbers given in that link as per country numbers can be fluctuating because not all are permanent inhabitants of a specific place. Many of them are nomadic, mainly within the same country but many also travel to other Countries.

Although that was in some ways contained, the free travelling within the EU allows them again to be moving around different countries.

In Greece, the majority have settled down to designated places some of which have become really very prominent parts of the urban environment and they have constructed houses of exceptional beauty ans wealth, that was in some ways the result of illegal transactions. More and more now are trying to gain that status and through semi-legal business they succeed .

However, they maintain their mentality that non-Roma people are obliged to provide for them and they manage to exploit every possible opportunity that will be profitable for them.

One of the main common elelments they all share is their love of music and the respective kind of each region they live in. Flamengo in Andalusia, Spain, Chardas is Hungary and central Europe, tsifteteli in Eastern europe and Balkans.

Please watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5xCJbu6... - "subculture"? These are some of the gipsy palaces built in the last years by gipsies (they are not working in factory, don't worry, they don't pay for electric power, they simply steal it, they consider the White Caucasian stupid and coward, because they tolerate and don't fight back, Police has absolutely no power against this Mafia.)

I think they become, step by step, a supra-culture, fed by indiference and ignorance of all "civilized" cultures. And what is fantastic is that no one try anything against such behaviour. To accuse one nation that they could not educate gipsies is even more stupid.

Irish Travellers see themselves as a completely different ethnic group to the Roma and, while their early origins are unknown, there is unlikely to be any connection with the Roma other than the way they are treated and, occasionally, intermarriage.

Black Dutch is an American term which can refer to anyone darker than most Western Europeans. It has been applied to Sephardic Jews, American Indians, Spaniards, anyne who doesn't meet the racist criteria of "white". The term does not refer to any type of subculture.

The Romany people or Roma is the correct term for Gypsies. And they do not really have a subculture. The only one I can think of is the petty criminal subculture that seems rife in European tourist spots. But that is a minority group and, while this group is described as being Romanian Gypsies, they are often just Romanians with no Gypsy association whatsoever.

I really am not sure what sort of subculture you are looking for. The Roma are just trying to live their lifestyle in a civilisation that looks down on this way of life.

There is a large variety in Gypsie culture in Europe. Only few life really normadic. Many of them live in Slums in Eastern Europe.
