Sure you can, because a lot of them do. And that tends to be the **** way in which the world works. Unfortunately, and as unfair as it can be, stereotypes have to come form somewhere and have to have some basis in truth.

No I agree, I have friends who wear trackies and swear a lot and all that. But I dont call them Chav's because they just dont come accross as chavs. When you see a chav you know if they are a chav or not.

I'ma keep saying this 'cause I had major crush-idge on like 3 chavs before... I'm bad, I'm bad, I'm really really bad :whistle:

yeah well i dont agree. alot of chavs r my friends and hardly any of them do what uu said lol.
dont group everyone the same, yeah ah chav is trackys everyday aquascutum bottles o bucky fighting all the time stoned, but then what about people that dont wear trackies and smoke hash? ...

yup agreed:)

Chavs anger me to the core. They are violent, ignorant scum with no ambitions or education, therefore no job, claiming from the government, wasting tax payer's money on booze and weed, while shouting at and insulting people they pass in the streets. Thety're ****ing scum and all deserve to be shot. Fact.

I dont wear tracksuits and I smoke weed almost everyday. Im not a Chav though :wink:.

All that I am saying is a lot of Chav's are scum. I agree, not all of them are, and im sure you have friends who are not, but the ones who are scums innevitably end up getting stereotyped.

You might notice it is always the negative aspects of a subculture that bring forth the stereotypes, ruining it for everybody else :thumbs:.

i feel the same way but onlu emos anger me. they should all slit their wrists and do it properly.
FACT!

What was that you said about them being violent? Congratulations on missing most of the thread and being a hypocrite.

yup exactley. because if one person classed as a chav does something then all other chavs or people who people class as "chavs" all get labelled too.

Yet its not Emos parading the streets in gangs, beating the **** out of poor innocent people, stabbing teenagers & taking them away from their families is it? It's the scum that are known as Chavs, the disgusting species that don't even deserve to live, let alone going out causing terror on the streets.

For the record, assuming both the Chav and the Emo were both non-violent, I would rather be trapped in a well with the Chav. A lot more down to earth, and they might have a jay :tongue:.

Well, you do have a point. :tongue:

another stereotype:Z
not all chavs go around fighting, and anyone can kill someone not just chavs:S

Besides which, the Emo would blend in too much with the darkness of the well :joker:.

And they may impale you on their eyeliner in the darkness :tongue:

Although not all of them, chavs are a major problem when you see knife and gang crimes on the television it isn't emos or goths commiting them. I myself wear what could be called chavvy clothes regurlary as my preferred taste of clothes aren't really suitable for a college day. I'm not saying all chavs are violent but ENOUGH of them are, the only time anyone's ever shouted insults at me in the streets were chavs.

Ive met loads of nice chavs... they are not all thieves.

well said :D

It basically means low class.

Many think they're from America's West Cost (Side) and are in gangs. :laugh2:

What a Chav is to me is a person who is someone who is low class, loud, disruptive behavior, off their heads, swearing loudly, playing music loudly on the bus, can't talk properly (Talking really common, and sort of gangsta?), causing trouble, violent, as well as the obvious wearing of matching tracksuit top and bottoms, gold chains, bandanas, burberry.

Chav stand for council housing and violence btw:thumbs:

There's "chavs" here in Galway too. Drink buckfast and hang around town all day.. post pictures of themselves pissed on bebo:rolleyes:

To me, they're just idiots.

Where I'm from, a chav is someone violent and in a gang.

Joey barton And celtic fans

thats all i think of when i hear the word " chav "

:laugh2:

Emos keep to themselves. I have no problem with them. If they want to stay depressed and miserable, I couldn't care less. They aren't bothering anyone. Chavs have ruined Britain and are costing the country. They are useless to society. As someone pointed out, they are in gangs, and do psychical harm to society.
