Chav is a shortened meaning for council houses and violence. However this maybe how this subculture developed but in recent years it is no longer so precise. Chav’s are no longer precisely living in council houses or being as violent. They now shout empty threads to the general public and if they are faced by this person 9/10 they run! However there are still gangs of them around carrying knifes and fighting weapons that help maintain their image.
Chav’s usually dress in matching track suits, t- shirt and track suit bottoms that are then tucked into their white socks to reveal trainers of a sports brand. The brand of Burberry has been brought down market since Chav’s have been buying counterfeit items; such as coats and caps. Since this Burberry has been trying to get the brand back to its old standards my placing the signature print in the inside of the garments for more luxury.
When being social Chav’s tend to hang out on the streets usually at fast food chains or outside of shops asking passersby to go in and buy them cigarettes or alcohol. To travel to and from these places they either get the bus, on which they play music out loud on their mobiles or shout to each other in slag that no one is able to understand. Or in their over worked cars, this is when they overlap with the term BOY RACER.
It’s not completely clear when the term actually first came about but by 2004 it was a recognised word to the media and is now used in the everyday world.
