The Chavs i described are the Chavs i know. I dont go out much so i dont see them 'in action'
Anti - Social isnt niceCan i come and write 'freek' in your school planner? and ask you a million times if your a goth? Say your music sucks?
Skidd on the floor shouting Rock right infront of you?
A chav can be anyone, just as long as they are anti social. With Zelda saying that I look like a chav is totally wrong. Chavs dont look like nufin. I hate chavs, but everyone is like " Oh your a chav though ", How am i a chav if you dont even know my personality........
Doing that would be anti-social behaviour.
I think people just define people that wear sports brands as there are many yobs that wear stuff like that.
This chav thread sucks, the previous ones were better......
i made one of the previous ones. YAY!
He likes them. He likes all the arguements. Haha! I see Chavs wearing tracksuits, and there are pictures of you in the album wearing tracksuits, you listen to the music, and your aggressive. Not all Chavs are Violent, but i cant be bothered argueing anymore
edit- Dont delete posts, now i look silly
what, take a long look back on search, there was a large chav thread that happened in Jan or sumin.....
You dont know what a chav is then......Originally Posted by Zelda
Look, whether you like it or not the "Chav" culture in the UK is a problem.
People who cross the road when they see you with a gang of friends are not in the wrong.
I mean can you really blame them? The majority of the people who dress that way in the UK (Not you) are Chavs anyway, and don't say they aren't, because it's a big problem here.
If I saw you in the street with a bunch of friends, I would do my best to avoid you too. Not because you are a Chav, but because you look like one, and unless you pointed out otherwise I'd have no way of telling, and would rather cross the road than risk walking through a crowd of people who might be Chavs for all I know.
Because, if it turned out that the gang of people I walked through were Chavs, they would start something, not neccesarily beat me up (Although it's a possibility) but just do something stupid.
Like the other day some guy was riding down the road on a bike, with his friend walking next to him, as I was walking past his friend he deliberately stopped his bike infront of me, and tried to trip me.
There are 2 types of people who dress like you.
There are the people who like the style of clothing, and the type of music.
Then, there are the Chavs. Same clothing and music, but they are idiotic people who steal cars, beat people up, graffiti and just behave in an anti-social manner. And there are alot of them, which means that when you see someone who dresses the way you do, it's got a decent chance of being a Chav.
With no way of telling the difference between the 2 solely on appearance, you have to understand that people are going to try and avoid you, because for all they know you might be a Chav, and they'd rather not find out the hard way.
Right okay, Ithink the main problem in this thread is the definition of 'chav'. A chav is not a person who wears addidas, or whatever.
However, a chav is somebody who has anti-social problems. They are aggressive and are up for an arguement/fight all the time. They eat at McDonald every single day of the week, walk around thinking they are better than everybody else. Get pregnant at the age of 12, then ruining the childs life because they've smurfed up their school life, got a criminal record and are going to juvi for the next 6 months. They stay out till 2 am in the morning throwing rocks at old peoples houses, setting off fireworks in the middle of the street, thinking they are superior than everybody else and basically just making themselves look like complete wankers.
To me, thats a chav. I see plently of them everyday, and they aren't nice people.

there was a picture here
Jess wins at the internets!
OMFGZ YAY.
Jess pretty much said what I was going to say.
I did part of my A level art on chavs. I basically satirised them for a good couple of months under the guise of doing a reliable social commentary.
However, the more I explored this so called 'chav' culture the more it annoyed me when people go targeting chavs. Its become a trendy word...you get government ministers talking about the chav problem and to me its become almost racist and discriminating.
However, yes there is a problem with anti social behaviour, ignorance, violence, bigotry and racism amoung todays youth and mid 20's. But you find this all across the spectrum irrespective of dress sense or social class. To say all 'chavs' are racist and violent just based on how they dress is like saying all Germans are Nazi's. At my college I'm friedns with a girl who I would call a chav. I know loads of people who are chavs and they are really nice. I know a lot of 'alternative kids' who are the bees knees, but I also know 'alternative kids' who are racist, sexist idiots who need a good slapping. Its the same.
So I hate the so called chav culture of casual violence and intimidation, but hating violence and intimidation is hardly a new thing really, so it doesnt matter who perpetuates it. Or something.
And to really complicate the issue, the chavs who are violent, bigoted, lazy spongers, pasty, callous, promiscuois and binge drinkers arn't really chavs. They are pikeys.(aka my neighbours.....>.<)
Chaos
Are you trying to tell me something?
