From the textile industry in the 19th centruy to music and football in the late 1980's Manchester has been a driving force. Ineviably these three strands would weave together. Coming together with Acid House in 1988, Manchester became Madchester with a new sound and people dress in Baggys. Young people came together at clubes and gigs, ravers rubbed shoulders with indie kids and football fans. Bagging clothing enabled the loose limbed liquid movement of the dancers. Dressing for comfort, girls and boys often wore similar clothing creating a seamingly eqaltairan, almost non-gendered look. The Madchester/Baggy look conveyed a confident Northern identity, with its roots in earlier working class street-styles which were distinct to the North West football crowds, but part of the broader Casual subculture. Matchday looks began to be as common at Stone Roses shows as a football stadiums, and sportswear began to interact with the bagg styles of music fans. Gigs, like football matches, became spaces for working class youngsters to express themselves.
