These people have no freakin clue that the word Chav isn't targeted towards people who are poor but towards people who behave poorly. They're pulling this out of perspective. People wouldn't call them scum if they didn't act like scum.
Let's get this straight. Working class and chav are completely different. Working class are exactly that - WORKING - albeit in low paid unskilled jobs. Chavs don't work, live on benefits, have kids to get more benefits, hang around places doing nothing but making trouble. Wearing tracksuits and sovs is generally a calling card of the chav but not always. And it's important to remember that!
@Thedarksecret1 You seem to have some salient points. Chavs are a manifestation of the newer working class culture that embraces a non-white musical form ( rap/hip-hop), athletic gear and evince a defiant and confrontational attitude towards society. In a sense, these are the inheritors of 70's punk. The difference was that was largely a musical and fashion oriented culure whereas Chavdom is far larger.
Agreed. The term 'chav' has grown to become a classist insult, akin to the old usage of the term 'nigger' for black people, as well as, incidentally, 'slapper' (for example) for women (see below!). The difference being that racism and sexism are not specifically inherent in the socio-economic system, whereas classism IS. Classism will never be a remarkable occurrence. It will always exist while capitalism exists, while material class discrimination exists - i.e the capitalist mode of production!
She is definately the coolest... Punks were seen this way in the 70s, punk was an insult. I bet there will be a lot of people in 15 yrs pretending that they were chavs (especiall that cheslea lot!)
14 year old? No, i've said it to people older than me. Some of my friends follow the "chav style" and they're okay since i've known them before "chavs" even existed. I didn't say i had problems at all. I'll do as much as i can to avoid people i don't like but i won't go out of my way to start trouble. "Chav" could have been said to anyone, sometimes i call it to my piers as a joke, sometimes it was serious, but they come back with something like "Metal Head".
You dont need money to look respectable, or even stylish. People choose to look like chavs. It costs money to get the chav look. Its not something to be proud of.
@xxxCourtneykinsxxx chav is the equivilant to your gangsta if you think about it in some ways but not getting involved with mass fights and war for land
to be fair its a name at the end of the day i mean like say your at school or work and thay make some perfective nick name really at the end of the day its a part life.
@xxxCourtneykinsxxx Basically everyone has a problem with them because they cause trouble and are just a general pain i don't care how they dress its when they cause trouble and chavs cause trouble some people just overuse the word to describe anyone
Act like a twat, get treated like a twat. Work hard, don't steal or assault strangers - work hard and contribute to society like any good human should, simple
Lol us brits reckon we are so badly off but the working classes live like kings compared to those living in third world countries. Don't know how lucky we are really.
I love her because she's not afraid to be who she is.
LMFAO Burberry censorship was the best thing ever

@JoshDave360 You are 100% right! there are plenty of middle class people I have met that I would consider chavs.
omg! this was one sky three why the fuck didn't i see it.
Something about lady sovereign is just so attractive compared to most of the Canadian girls over here.
Basically those journalists are trying very hard not to say what they truly feel which is "I Fucking Hate Chav Scum! but i Love the website!"
i love lady sovereign :)
