As always with Britain, the hidden hand of the class system may not be immediately obvious, but it is still exerting a force.
Even at the time, there was widespread push-back at the mockney, working-class role-play of the likes of Keith Allen, Blur, Damien Hirst, Nick Hornby et al, but what is behind this weird impersonation?
The upper-class/aristocracy has always been unobtainable to the middle and lower class. We are not like America, no matter how successful you are, you don’t become aristocracy, the best you can hope for is patronage or tolerance.
In the 60s and onward we saw increasing backlash against the deference towards our “betters”, as Tony Benn rejected his title, and they became increasingly a target for mockery. In conjunction, the concept of the “working-class hero” developed.
The middle, and especially upper-middle-class, saw a way of being “cool”, whilst snubbing their noses at the aristocracy, with far more people identifying as working-class than would be objectively defined as such. This is reinforced by our reluctance to celebrate success, tending to knock down people who succeed instead.
Arguably, this is a form or Proto-wokeism, with class being a cultural identity group, and an inversion of perceived power structures.
But this role-play has always been tinged with loathing. The attitude towards football fans, and especially England fans, is a decent proxy of views towards the actual working-class.
And the song is shite.

Released in June 1998, “Vindaloo” became one of the defining unofficial anthems of the 1998 World Cup. Created by Fat Les, featuring Keith Allen, Blur’s Alex James and Damien Hirst, it reached number two in the UK behind “3 Lions 98” and turned terrace-chant nonsense into a full national singalong.
