What the bloody hell classes you as a chav ;l

[RandomManJay]

I agree with Crimson with his copy and pasting and on the clothes part, but I know people who wear the typical 'chav' wear who don't have a single bit of chav in them. Its usually down to a combination of three factors:

- Clothes (usually sports brands, used to be burberry and nike, but it's spread)
- Anti-social behaviour and attempts to obtain a 'mark of honor' (aka. ASBO)
- Listen to trance/techno/remix music (but it has to be played at rather high levels so everyone around you can hear it, sort of anti-social noise pollution)

So if you don't fit into all three completely, then your not really a chav and people who call you a chav are just looking for an excuse to catagorise you into a group they can abuse.

Also, the younger chavs do act differently than the older ones, the younger ones are outside more, cause more abuse and most of the problems, the older ones are usually drug junkies or have children in their older age (18+) and tend to stay indoors etc.

If anyone is a chav on the forum, sorry for being negative, I'm from an area where chavs are a real problem with the chav generation now reproducing and I've got most of this info from my experience with them.

Lol, I think;
Hoodies
Tracksuits
Smoking
Drinking
Swearing
using words like 'Brap' or 'blud'
listens to rap!

However not all chav's are bad lol!

Only sports hoodies tho

i dont agree
i think younger chavs do it for attention and try so hard to act hard and are quite lairy
whereas older chavs dont really give a ****

If you mean older as in the 20+ year olds or whatever then that's because they're always with their girlfriends carting around however many kids they have back and forth to the benefits centre. The ones that are like 18 and below are all pretty much the same.

Well at least the chavs prevent the gypies from being public enemy number one.

i don't class people as chavs by what they wear most of the time, i judge people by how they act but alto of the chavs i know wear trackies and a polo shirt most of the time so i suppose youre just being stereo typed.

[Melsia]

I quite like the semichav look on a guy ;]

I don't think what you wear really classifies you as a chav, although there are some people who will stereotype because of what you wear, as you have seen.

As long as you don't go around acting like a **** towards people then you're okay!

[JackBuddy]

Ok well, first what the **** classes you as a chav?? I wear lacoste tracsuits, nike tracsuits etc with a polo shirt underneath or something and some **** keeps calling me a chav, but tbh I wouldn't class myself as a chav? :S The only reason I don't like wearing jeans and things like that is cause when I'm out I usually play footie or something similar and jeans are a pain. But yeah what would you class as a chav? :S

You forgot Henleys, Bench and everything else from Republic.

Round here, if you wear full track suits with air max trainers or something, your a chav. end off.

[Crimson]

You forgot Henleys, Bench and everything else from Republic.

Agreed.

[Bun]
