My school was probably like 75% chavs. I remember them all stood round a computer in IT watching Devvo, saying how much of a legend he was because they didn't realise he was satirising them 🤣
-
The acronym definitely came after the word. As a kid in Doncaster "Charver" and "Chav" were just friendly words they would call each other. "Now then Chavvy how ya doin'?" etc.
-
Chavs and neds are still 100% with us despite what youtubers and guardian journalists want to tell you, they just switched out the burbery for all black clothes form sports direct.

My experience with chavs as a teenager was horrible, I was beaten and bullied continuously as I was different ( goth ), I've never truly got over how badly I was hurt and made fun off. I don't miss them at all....
-
I myself wouldn't mind if you made more videos explaining UK culture like that, it is so known and yet so few people know the origins and specifics!
-
As per history, Englands social detritus was shipped to Australia, where they rebranded as Eshays
-
They're still around where I live. Same antisocial behaviour, tracksuits and manner of speech. They're even still referred to as Chavs. Sister lives next door to one who is constantly burning stuff for some reason.

I really appreciate how fast and to the point you are with the ads. Alot of my favorite channels will do their ads for like 3 minutes straight and it is so frustrating. You get a sub from me just for that
-
Chavs grew up... once they reached an age, they changed fashion, music etc. Different sub cultures came through.
-
You forgot to mention how in the 2000s chavs would attack Goths, emos and moshers, literally killing them in at least one case; Sophie Lancaster . It was terrifying for me and my friends. Anyone who wore black or had the "wrong" piercings were targeted. My sister still feels anxious when she sees a person wearing a shell suit. I'm so grateful that chavs are pretty much gone!

I got happy slapped on the way back from shopping with my missus once, I calmly asked his age, he said was 18 and looked like your standard twiggy chav, I was 21 learning kickboxing and regularly weight lifting, gave him a kicking he wouldn't forget any time soon.

Oh bro I got ripped off by established titles too! They don't actually make you a lord and they pocket the "charitable donation" for their own business. I found this out when I tried changing my title to Lord and they were like "yeah no, mate, you can't actually do that"
-
I think the theory that explains it the best is that they simply grew up, they didn't just disappear it was a generational thing
-
The teenage chavs of 2004 are now proud grandparents, waiting outside the school gates with a neck tattoo.
-
Really enjoyed this. Chav was a very British phenomenon and something I couldn't explain to any of my foreign friends. They had to see it for themselves, and on some occasions did. Nice job!
-
This guys presentation and style is phenomenal. Subscribed.

We still have Chavs around, especially in the further reaches of England, Like Devon and such. I think the whole thing with demonising and everything with Chavs also didn't help that people made TV Shows like "The Jeremy Kyle Show" allowed people to portray them self in a bad and demeaning manner. I feel like the Death of TV for the internet age played a big part in the removal of what used to be a very big thing in the UK.

At the same time the Chavs showed up in the UK, the Gopnik culture was happening in East Europe and Russia. Although Gobniks were a result of the breaking up of the USSR, its strange that both Gobnik's and Chavs with different origins happened at the same time and also seemed to disappear at about the same time.

The logo thing started in the late 70s / early 80s - well before the 90s - with Mods and football casuals. A whole bunch of brands including Adidas, Lacoste, Fred Perry, Pringle, Sergio Tacchini, Barbour and yes, Burberry (scarves to cover your face rather than caps). All could be seen on and off the terraces.
