What’s with the eshay hate over at r/melbourne? If you believe what you read there, packs of vicious eshays roam Melbourne, contributing to the downfall of society. They harass strangers, carry weapons, obstruct traffic, and make the city unlivable.
I get out for exercise in Melbourne at all hours of day or night. I occasionally encounter eshays late at night, roaming the streets, speaking loudly in their eshay slang. They’re always pretty friendly, I’ve never had any trouble from them. The most trouble I’ve ever had from eshays is that they play loud Australian hiphop music on trains in Sydney. It’s mildly irritating, but far from the worst thing that I’ve seen.
So where are these dangerous eshays making the city unsafe? Do they only appear at specific times in specific places? Or is this just more, “kids these days,” crap? Or a convenient scapegoat?
I did see a couple dozen of them one weekday afternoon riding bikes down elizabeth street at high speed and lifting their bikes to one wheel only, with zero regard for cars and people crossing the road.

r/melbourne has become a current affair in text form.
Western burbs eshays are more aggressive, loud and confrontational.
The ones in the CBD are a mild copy of their outer fringe counterparts.
Like geese
Pretty much, yes. Loud honking and posturing, but unable to do anything.

You’ve just made me google eshay. I’ve never heard the term before.
I’m going to add something new to my list of things I don’t miss about Melbourne: Newscorp.
