not that i care about sterotypes

[louder]

but there was a thread like "are you chav emo or scene" like just below this one. its locked now ysee.

but i think some peoples opinions are really jaded :s

like. "a chav is usually smoking & wears cheap designer clothes".

thats such a heap of ****.
im really good friends with the people who were like the popular chavs in my school. & they still are the same tbf.

hardly any of them smoke. i know this because i smoke & i was always on my own outside smoking at parties.

& cheap designer clothes!? christ! i bloody wish i could afford lyle & scott cardigans, fred perry polos & stone island jackets, but i cant and im a little indie kid.

thier clothes are r8 expensive. christ.
just annoyed me abit.

[Sly]

i agree
chavs live very expensive lives ;o

[samsaBEAR]

yeah i'd love to know how some of the chavs that live near me afford lyle and scott stuff

[Hushie]

Often people who have a go at 'chavs' are people who get 'grief' from them.

[Blinger1]

I can't believe chavs actually start stuff. They are equivilant to our bogan and they are idiots , lolol!

[cocaine]

well lets face it they dont help themselves

that's ridiculous.
why not say all black people & pakistani's are benefit thieves?
because there's a few who are.

infact, very similar to the stereotype that all teenagers get, simply because a few like to cause trouble.

Where i live no1 who is a chav is what half of this thread are saying they are.

Its all a stereotype you get emo kids who are like that, You get goths screamos moshers greebos indies scene norms geeks etc etc etc etc who do exactly the same.

yeah thats cause you live in gloucester.

im sorry but ive been to gloucester, my uncle lives there and whatever part of it i went to was proper posh. so no. your definition of a chav must be somethig different.

if you feel like visiting real chavs, come to harrow, where i live, where on the odd occasion teenage chavs love to set off fireworks in the street and throw rocks through peoples windows.

Thats exactly my point, most people who wear trackies or w/e you'd describe as a 'chav' are sound and not how they are made out to be. Thats why I say, people who sterotype them like 'OMG CHAVS ;LL' are usually people who are socially backward.

[Black_Apalachi]

... Im a chav an own alot of expensive clothes and ive payed for everything. No i dont live in a council house and no i dont get benefits. ...

Hang on, you just called yourself a chav? Interesting, I've never heard anybody do that before. Although the word 'chav' supposedly stands for 'council house and violent' which you say you are neither.

Anyway I don't really determine a chav exclusively based on their clothes. It's more their attitude and behaviour. The clothes, music and dialect are just what most of them happen to conform to.

Well im not gonna lie and say im an emo when im blatently not. I dont care what im classed as it makes no difference to me as its not how other people see you its how you see yourself. Aslong as you are happy within yourself who really cares what other people think.

[RedStratocas]

honestly, i think if you are willing to label yourself in a group like "chav" (i still find this stereotype hilarious btw, lol, we dont have it here in the states), you have to know youll have to deal with the preconceived notions of the group you chose to identify with.

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah so why label yourself at all? Just be who you are init :)

If anyone tried to label me they'd probably call me indie or borderline mosher but it's just a load of ******** lol.

[Stryderman]

I am who i am. I wear tracksuits all the time except for when i go clubbing or to work. I listen to grime dnb & rnb. I do have an attitude but only if someone annoys me or provokes me. So therefore im pretty much classed as a chav, I get called it all the time where i work back from where im from. Im used to it and it doesnt bother me.

[ifuseekamy]

They act annoying for no purpose, e.g. sit on buses playing crap music out their phones, and wear common clothes from ebay with huge logos lol.

And emos and goths dont sit on buses playing death metal an screamo an a bit of mcr?

Emos an goths also wear clothes with massive NIRVANA and MCR an METALLICA all over their tops. So what a stupid statement that was and tbh with you ive seen more mcr tshirts than chavs wearing the same clothes.

[hannah-8909]

i agree
chavs live very expensive lives ;o


where do they find this money... i cant afford some the stuff they wear

[Smits]

You can obtain fake designer gear.

Not that I've heard. Wearing band tops is different to wearing fake high street clothes.

[Stryderman]

Except most of it isnt fake. The clothes arent that expensive and if you have a job its easy to pay for just because they are better off than you doesnt mean they go and buy their stuff from ebay.

To be fair only chavs play music on their phones in public places and there's a difference between novelty t-shirts and designer labels.

[Stryderman]

Yeh but alot of women wear prada goochie etc etc does that make them chavs for wearing designer labels? :s

Wherever i go i hear mcr or screamo music being played off phones in public places. You probably notice if its rap or hiphop because of the abusive language and the way it is.

no, we notice because that's all that is played. i think i've got on a bus once when the music played at the back of the bus wasn't rap. well, i say rap, most people that sit at the back of the bus listen to people thinking they can rap over some stupid beat.

Probably but either way, we're talking about trackies and tops with huge Lacoste logos on. Never heard music played like that which wasn't RnB or that dance music crap.

Ah, well I'm sure you and your friends look like you've stepped off the cover of Vogue in your "Goochie".

I thought chavs were the equivalent to bogans?

[dirrty]

lol chavs can't afford designer labels. if they could, they're evidently not chavs.

[Black_Apalachi]

Chavs can afford stuff. Have you seen their cars? My next door neighbour has a chavved up Escort - and they're bloody expensive to insure even before all the modifications. My old neighbour had a chavved up Cavalier as well. I don't know how, dole money or whatever cos they didn't have jobs.

[samsaBEAR]

they spend all of their money modding their cars, that's why they look like *****, can't afford decent looking clothing

[FlyingJesus]

Hang on, you just called yourself a chav? Interesting, I've never heard anybody do that before. Although the word 'chav' supposedly stands for 'council house and violent' which you say you are neither.

That backronym is entirely false, simply made up by the media attempting to be clever. Also chavs are the ones who (other than perhaps 12 year old emos) are most likely to admit to being part of the subculture in my experience, which is far better than pretending not to be because you're too preconceived with the idea of being *+*OrIgInAl*+*


Yeah so why label yourself at all? Just be who you are init :)

And what if "who he is" is a chav

A massive amount of scene and indie clothing over the last 4 or 5 years has been based on chav fashion, notably the reprisal of Gola and Diadora along with Adidas classics and whatnot a few years back for scene kids, and also Fred Perry, Jack Wills and Lyle&Scott becoming part of indie fashion in the last couple of years

[Misawa]

The majority of chavs live on council estates with neglectful parents who can barely afford to pay the rent, let alone buy expensive clothes.

Just no. Most chavs i know are decently dressed because they can afford it. You people need to stop making it seem like chavs are tramps, theirs a difference.

I'm sorry... chavs aren't 'decently dressed' the fact that their clothing is 'designer' (using this term loosely since the majority of 'chav' brands can't really be classed as designer) does not mean they have nice clothes.

Also you can't really complain about chavs getting stereotyped when it happens to practically everyone some point in their life... whether they are stereotyped as emo, chav, goth w.e

They are 'discount designer' or sportswear, designer clothes in my opinion would be the ones that sport the names of brands you'd see on runway but aren't high fashion, such as:
Louis Vuitton
Gucci
Vivienne Westwood
Chanel
Among others..

Lacoste and Fred Perry are designer. Even Ben Sherman is designer and alot of chavs wear that. Burberry is sort of designer aswell. Just because its "common" doesnt mean it isnt designer.
