You guys still have those people over there? (American, members)

I remember When I first started posting here 4 yrs ago many of the British members would always refer to some loser-types as chavs (sp?). I became very obsessed with this particularly grimey sub-culture and no matter how much people tried to explain them to me I never quite got it.
I have noticed that noone really mentions chavs anymore. Have they deevolved out of the culture like some grotesque darwinian model of natural selection or has everyone just gotten over them?
And if anyone would still like to attempt to explain these people to me I'd love, still, to understand this remarkable example of the denigration of British culture.
