Floggers Vs Flogger?

FLOGGERS— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

floggers Plural of "flogger", the name of an Argentine youth urban tribe tied to the photo site Fotolog, recognisable by tight brightly coloured trousers, styled fringes and canvas sneakers. The plural is the usual way the group was named in the press and in everyday speech, and it spread to Uruguay and Paraguay.

Origin:Spanish Wikipedia explains that "flogger" comes from "flog", a short form of "fotolog". The tribe began in Argentina and was most visible from early 2007 to mid-2009, peaking in 2007 and 2008, then lost ground in 2009 as many members moved to other tribes. Fotolog popularity depended on the daily comments on self-portrait photos. Wikipedia names the singer Agustina Vivero ("Cumbio") as the leader of the tribe in 2008 and 2009. The existing entry "flogger" covers the individual member; this entry covers the plural and the subculture as a group.

FLOGGER— ORIGIN, MEANING & USAGE

flogger Member of a youth subculture that grew around Fotolog photo-blogs in Argentina from about 2007, recognisable by a fringe haircut, bright clothing and large public meet-ups; the label later spread to other Latin American countries.

Origin:The name is usually explained as coming from Fotolog, the photo-blogging site where these teenagers posted pictures and exchanged messages. Press and magazine accounts place the beginnings in Argentina around 2007. The best-known figure was Agustina Vivero, known as Cumbio, who is credited with popularising the style and organising meet-ups at a Buenos Aires shopping centre from mid-2008. Large flogger parties drew thousands of people, and the group also met open hostility, including Facebook groups against them reported in 2009. One magazine account places the decline around 2011. Fotolog itself closed in January 2016.
