They get a bad reputation as they tend to hang around in gangs. Can't see that most are any worse than anyone else

Not a fan, not my scene, but generally thats how I see it

But goths and emos want to be goths and emos, I have the impression that many so called chavs dont want to be labelled as chavs and are offended for being described this way, not the case wth goth, emos, punks etc.

If you ask a goth to describe himself, he's probably gonna say he's goth among other things. It's very unlikely that the same would happen with a chav.

Its almost as if, chavs dont want to be part of a group, but society sees them as being part of that group.

Anyway, your explanation was indeed helpful, thanks.
