No, its about Townies. If you want to understand this song you need to go to Sheffield City Centre on a friday or saturday night. West Street or down the high street/Fargate.
Its not about class, or specifically about geeks etc, its about the Lads who go out in shiny shoes and shirts on Saturday night and the girls who wear little dresses and make-up who are their female equivalent. Its these people in gangs who scare everyone else into either not going out, or getting cabs down to the Leadmill late on. They may well have well paid jobs, but they aspire to nothing more than a wealth of consumer durables.
And look down on anyone who threatens them by being different.
