Bogan is a pretty broadsweeping statement, but they're not to be celebrated. Why is ignorance, racism, political blindness, and social awareness a good thing? Why is appalling health and Two and a Half Men 'cool' or respectable? Bogans are pretty detrimental to Australian culture.
There are two types of bogan. One is your traditional bogan. Meth making, kids born for the economic bonus, anti-social Rottweilers, the kind of arsehole who'd make a mockery of themselves at the Cronulla riots. It's archaic and it bleeds into many facets of Australia. Premature death and poor health, values that are opposed to any kind of change, unemployment, and crime. That's your traditional bogan. Fuqqqqq dat.
Second is the 'new age Bogan.' Buddha statues, two four wheel drives, living in Joondalup. They're FIFOs, materialistic, usually very conservative (h8 da carbon tax!!!! fukn azns these r my money im not paing taxes 4 them!) and that in itself is pretty depressing. It's stagnant.
Aren't you at ANU? I certainly wouldn't say you're a bogan. Your description sounds like the 'normal' Australian 'bloke': Carefree, into the things you said, happy.
