But I am wondering now, do people still see people like me and assume we are Chavs?
Do you also wear ostentatious jewellery and act aggressively towards people in public? If not, then no.
If so, maybe if they're of a certain age that will be the word that comes to mind. Probably not if they're younger - but they might think you're a dickhead for acting like that.
What is your obsession with the word Chav?
It's a word/charicature that's used to demonise white working class people like me and everyone i know. invented by the middle and upperclass media
You appear on here every few weeks talking about Chav this and Chav that, everyone comments, rightfully, that it's nothing to do with working class people, you get defensive and ultimately the whole thread gets deleted.
As soon as I saw the post title I knew it would be you.
It's definitely stopped, as to me it looks like the white hoodlums from yesteryear would rather just go play football with the black hoodlums from yesteryear, after the Chav/RudeBoi truce of 2006 was cemented into parliament.
Plus the image of underage smoking is gone as vapes have now softened that 'hard man culture to kids toys, and the cities themselves have become too expensive for council estates to have these rough subcultures.
So high five to gentrification, loss of opportunity, poverty and anti-immigration sentiment fusing the working class into racial harmony, and other glaringly eye-brow raising sentiments I can make
