I know plenty of people who fit into this chav trend and are extremely nice people.
It just seems that the kids who commit crime nowadays are chavs as well...
Pavee's is the big thing over here in Ireland.
Living makeshift homes or scrounging council homes, not working, thieving, generally causing trouble at every opportunity. They'll attack anyone.
It's a pain being into not so mainstream music and style, because often you get abuse for looking different, I'm a goth apparently :p
If they're nice people, they ain't Chavs in my opinion. Just because you're in hoodies and a tracksuit doesnt make you a chav. It's an attitude.

Some "goth" tried to beat me up a couple of weeks ago walking through town. We had make-up, dreads and a black hoodie on but in my eyes, he's a chav/scalley/whatever. In contrast, I went to a very "chavvy" school full of working class kids in tracksuits who smoked and dabbled in petty crime but they were nice enough, just very frustrated with the world around them. They grew out of it.
