Was pondering today, is the common chav a permanent part of our institution from here on in?

Will they fade away like the mods, rockers, punks, new romantics, ravers etc did before them, or does the fact that the chav has no particular musical routes and connections make him the more timeless form of group/type?

Discuss.

we need a chav cull - get rid of all those scroungers think of the spare housing and £££

 

[GREYDJ]

Put it another way. When did chavs first appear?

 

[MadOnVaux!]

I hope not...keep the NED's though

Officially as far as the 'label' goes? Not sure TBH.

The name was first kicked about around the time I joined this site a couple of years ago.

But dodgy looking runts with hoods and ill fitting tracksuits roamed the cities long before THAT I guess.

I think there are still small quantities of all sorts somewhere or another, don't know how many chavs will remain after the 'popularity' goes.

Around near where I live there is a guy who think's he's Elvis (Prestley not Costello)

But the chav movement seems such a faceless and colourless one to me, maybe intentionally so.

It clearly has no roots or common interest, other than being the ideal thing for the no-hoper teen losers to all tag along with in a sheep-like manner to be a more powerful force due to the large numbers.

fair enough paul

so yes what the fook are they all about?

 

[Domski]

Aren't they just kids with nowt better to do?

Maybe they'll all grow out of it?

 

[K-Lone]

Hustle cracked me up the other day :lmao: The little kid chav rapper

 

[sir_bombalong]

would compulsary service in the forces sort em out?

how bouts:

if you are under 25
havent had a job for x amount of time and are claiming benefits
then you are forced into doing service - you can force them by getting them to sign a form when they collect there benefits every week agreeing to terms and conditions

surely that would get the scroungers among them out of the woodwork then you only have to sort out the ones who have jobs?

 

[patty]

What gets me is that they seem to revel in the fact that they are chavs, personally if I looked and acted like that, I would'nt leave the house for embaresment..

 

[Janet]

Well that's just it for me really, they aren't ABOUT anything,........and yet they're always around and VERY easy to spot/label.
