It's basically the outcome of our previous generations stupidity, Adults are constantly complaining about todays youth, seems to slip their mind that they ****ing raised them.

Quick image search for chav:

Chavs are part Magpie, evidentially supported by their love of all things shiny, or as vaccuous, illiterate street-slang would say 'Bling'. They can be seen twokking from the Jewelry counter in Argos/Index.

Whatever their ethnic background, Chavs have a built-in affinity to hip-hop/R&B, even if they are inherently racist (see the Scottish). They see their life as glamorous and cool.

Chavs are for the most part, extremely stupid. However, some of them render a form of low cunning, which can be misinterpreted as intelligence. However this is false. A Chav has no desire to better themself through honest means nor learn anything outside of car modification.

All chavs think that they are nails. Again, this is false. Sitting in a beaten up nova smoking lamberts does not precipitate a healthy body. The irony being that a Chav owns mainly sportswear, yet will only break a sweat if running from the police.

Chavs are incredibly fertile beasts, and are highly successful breeders. Where they come unstuck is having to look after the offspring which their 13 yr old drunken fumble produces. More often that not the child will crow to be a Chav, having received no more guidance on life than the parent.

Chavs have a fond love for cars, as well as a Vin Diesel fixation. Rather than buy a nice car to start with, a chav will spend all their dole and tax-free labouring cash on upgrading a 10 year old car with 200,000 miles on the clock. The end product will invariably be a luminous monstrosity with at least one serious collision to it's name.
In response to your question it would seem they have a choice but it's more down the parents willingness to raise their children properly.

We don't, as far as I know, use the word here in Aussieland, but I think I can pick out the type. And as was said before, they choose to be "chavvy", so they can bloody well live with the consequences.

Urban Dictionary.com describes quite a few people that I know of here in the states, and it does so quite effectively.

What else are we supposed to bloody call them.

They are arseholes, they dont even talk proper, like.

Next thing they will start doing is causing trouble, then claiming they were the victims of "Chavists" or somet daft like that.

I mean Chavs as a "subculture" just seem to be about nothing but trouble, I know their were trouble causers years ago, but the rockers, mods, greasers, metalheads, punks and Skinheads actually seemed to do more than just always cause trouble and using knives was rare amongst them.

That definition is absolutely awesome. Love the way it's written.

Saw a few of them when I was over in Europe. They kind of scared me then I realised that the oldest one was about 16.

He was also wearing a pink sports jumper.

Well the common sterotype of a British teenager is he carries a knife and his extreamly violent. Break this down again and you'll find it's just a Chav who can't fight, therefore he resorts to using a weapon with his gang of 20.


Everyone on the internet is a 16 year old bisexual catholic schoolgirl with no waist, enormous breasts, faux insecurity, 3 PhDs in everything, an 11" penis, and is rich and successful beyond my wildest dreams.

I met a few Brits while staying in France.. they all came across rather nice. The girls were hawt (though had nothing on the Swedish, I mean DAMN!) and the guys were kind of snobbish. But they were all harmless.

The stereotype Id always held of British teenagers were weedy kids who wore glasses and lived in manor homes across the countryside.

I should've stop reading Harry Potter by the time I was 15..
