Chavs sucked but Devvo was hilarious

In Scotland it’s joks

They invented a word to describe any teenager who resembles Liam Gallagher?

I don't know where the dodgy Chavs went and I'm not sure I care - but I suspect they all became even dodgier builders and mini cab drivers. But I like Stormzy and I'll buy into the argument that the people that replaced the Chavs were a bit more focused and self aware.

Textbook chav behaviour 🤣

Hilariously ironic.

In Australia we have a show like that called fat pizza.

Mine was 98%

Ariiiiight youuuuns..... You wanna boff some gasssss? Av just ad some gassssss

Interesting, I grew up in Leeds around the time people started identifying as chavs so never really gave much thought to the words entomology as I always assumed it was an invention by the media - you not only entertain but educate too - cheers for all the content over the years you've been a huge influence.

Love your stuff David. Been watching your shit since the days of New Grounds.

same kind of thing in tipton, still get chavvys over these ways

That's enough from you, Margery Stuart-Baxtor!

Same in the North East “Alright Charver” was/is a typical greeting since before “chav” as it’s known now

The whole "goth" thing was cringe as fuck, you have to admit it =] Not that it excuses bullying, ofc.

I think they still exist they've just evolved yk? They're nowadays generally a mix of roadmen and chav.

no @@kraanz

@@kraanz naw goth is still cool, black looks good on damn near everybody and theres a bunch of subcultures of goth where theres a style of it for everyone.

Yeah definitely. I'd bet a ton of people from the US know basically nothing about it. I've heard the word chav but had no idea what it meant. Pretty interesting stuff.

This isn't really representative of the whole of The UK, this is mainly about London. The North of England is very different from that southern cunt hive!

They most certainly are. I pretty much refer to any rough sounding, acting and looking person as a 'chav', and they do not disappoint. It must be said.

As it always happens with subcultures since 1950s

As an ex chav I agree dude

I don’t know how you can live in this country and say such nonsense

@@jadedwitness9840 sure Chavs still exist if you just mean Council Housed people in trackies. But the sub-culture is barely there - those types of people are now roadmen, as Jimmy says. Or they might be Essex boys, D&B or garage ravers. Heck even hooligans are coming back from the dead.

AsBos did nothing more than create damn Rank’s within them all! 🙈😂

Yeah its interesting, it seems like most countries had a version of tracksuit wearing aggressive types, here in Poland we call them "Dres" which literally just means tracksuit, and it pretty much overlapped with british chavs and russian gopniks - hardbass/bad rap, expensive sports clothes, will mug you for no reason etc. I also think chavs, gopniks and so on had a lot to do with aggressive football fans, I feel like there was a lot of overlap between those groups, but now I dont think that many people watch football anymore and there are way less aggressive football fan fights. This might be the common link between the subcultures and why they died out

It's not a cultural thing specific to the UK. The U.S. has the same type of idiot, and still do it never went away. Often called "wiggers" here.

When i was on hollyday in Netherlands in the 2000s i saw alot of young people wearing simmilar clothing as Chavs. They were called Gabbers.

@@nobbynoris It was. There was a lot of overlapping. Chavs were just too lazy to wear jeans. Too much hassle.

@Ben B Artist You know the slavic word. Props to your cultural nouse.

Gopniks are everywhere especially, Ukraine and Russia

Even though they speak completely different languages gopnicks and chavs still manage to sound the same

@@SnarkyRC Even though I did not know the term gopniks, I knew that they abounded in Russia as the squatting slav always reminded me of a posing chav. Chav is close to the Portuguese for keys, which is 'llaves' in Spanish, which is the root base item of a working man across all of Europe. The song of working parents may not have riches but usually the keys to a home. Llaves is pronounced "ja/yaar-vez", which is like laughing "yes you, yes you in Spanish". -Av is the Latin root for Avis or a bird - and Chavs in the UK call their female friend their "bird". So, the working man, or the Gopnik, or the Chav, is really the key to European society and unlocks the YES factor in European women. Once the chav has taken his keys and flown that bird of beauty in the sky, his pineal gland is filled with milk and honey. All of a sudden, he's not looking down at the gutter for Nikes to swipe off the public, but wonders at the sky for his place in civilisation. So, what I am saying is the Gopnik is really a matroishka. Inside of him lies the civil servant, the handyman, the councillor. They all disappear. I'd guess they become highly enfolded into the fabric of their town or move up the corporate ladder. The ones that aren't smackheads anyway. 😆😆😆😆

A нy, чики-бpики и в дaмки!

Oh yes, im in high school right now and so many chavs still exist

Am from Glasgow was a Ned growing up and can agree you still get little neds or wannabe roadmen now about Glasgow etc the murders have actually stopped since the housing schemes got tore town lol most grow up the nonsense a lot younger now as well

Exactly 100% changing fashion sense, and the changing ethnic demographics of multicultural Britain simply made ppl more sensitive about using the term . Its reflected in how MLE has spread rapidly from when i was growing up. Im from an area in surrey . Chavs were everywhere, had their dress code, behaviour and slang. All thats changed since then is the slight changes to dress , evolution of slang and of course the changing ethinic demographics .Chavs" are still very much with us. They still wear hoodies , they still have jewellery , they're still loud and obnoxious but now we're sensitive about it to the frustration of residents that live in areas where they are terrorised by it. But it can't escape the news as knife crime is rife in the UK , gang culture hasn't vanished and instead of listening to music like garage , the youth of today listen to drill .

they're called roadmen now

roadmen are something entirely different and a good deal more dangerous@@sodium7127

What you mean grew up, there are still plenty of football fans...

Believe me, there are elderly chavs.

They got phones, and all the pubs closed. Now they mostly drink at home on their own while making tiktoks.

I buy my daughters designer 💩 track suits too. Ide be proud to have little chavs. Beats them turning gaye confused and all the bs young ens do these days. DAMN. Hypnotised by their rainbow loving primary school teachers although I'm still hoping that's a USA thing not UK thing. The depression lot too. Emos. Grebs . Genderless dolls. Please lord let my kids be chavs. Fun loving happy go lucky. Not any other group.

Yeah we grew up…got out of prison and moved on with out lives and became something new. But believe me…you best treat 50 year old working class men with caution…..Cos we’re still chavs deep down!!!😉😁😂🇬🇧

Well no wonder theyre so mardi when people are going round casually categorising them as "non educated". But its ok, I'm sure they look at everyone else as over educated limp wristed pansies so I guess it's fair

Yeah, Scotland has a chav problem.

I think recently they’ve fallen off, at least in my area. Only kids I see acting chavy these days are usually like year 7.

The closest I came to that was two teenage female chavs. I was on a train during my 20's and they started throwing tiny balls of paper at me. I took one page off a tabloid that was laying about, made a big paper ball and threw it at them. They must have interpreted that as a form of courtship, because they started chatting me up. I sat with them (no pedo). They had missing teeth even though they were in their teens, bless them.

@@kaysmith8992 I think the "I can't be arsed" mindset really plays a part where it's almost a virtue. I don't see that much in other countries and cultures but in the UK it's prevalent.

This was my experience as a teenager as well in Australia. Me and my friends could not go to a single party without one of these pieces of shit getting violent and sending one of us to the ER.

Actually, yes, I did see chavs working back in the day. Quite a few of them were builders, joiners, decorators and mechanics. I went to college in the early 2010's and literally the only people who were on the courses for those professions were chavs. Well, apart from the mechanics course, I think there was a few alternative kids on that, but they probably got the p!ss taken out of them by the chavs constantly.

Here most of us working class types are the punks, goths and metalheads (alt folks). We all got older, had kids, got married, still loving the music. Still wearing black and going to see local shows. Yeah we'd rock somebody's shit for "happy slapping " but us American folks are a lot less forgiving than our British friends.

Upper/middle class never made that distinction though- to them we were all chavs.

It's not that we're sticking up for genuine troublemakers or people that choose to be unemployed because they're lazy. The "chav defenders" are actually criticising the way hatred for chavs demonised the working class in general, it promotes the idea that poverty is a necessity in society as there are people who refuse to work and are beyond saving. There is a book called Chavs by Owen Jones which researches this in depth, it's really eye opening

@@AmyMarieJackson I don’t get it you had a whole class of people commenting crimes and being shit heads, no respect for chav

Yup you get groups of teenagers dressed in tracksuits and balaclavas all up and down the UK now lol. There is a much bigger audience for culture that glamorises gang life now than there was during the chav era, when their main objective was to just get pissed and fuck about.

I'm 15 years older than you and I agree with you entirely. Roadmen are just extreme versions of chavs, dealing heroin and cocaine, carrying around knives and generally appearing bereft of any human emotion. Quite probably working for a gang "elder" who supplies them with puffa jackets, balaclavas and handbags (sorry those stupid little man bags they carry now). Whereas chavs though violent and unruly bullies at least seemed colourful, the world of the "Roadman" seems dark, harsh and depressing, like they have no soul at all. Suspect that many of them are beyond saving unfortunately.

They focused largely on the Chinese market instead

I grew up in Switzerland and lonsdale was pretty popular over here and very expensive too, then I moved to the UK and realized that lonsdale was cheap as hell and only worn by chavs 😂 it was so funny to me. In Switzerland it was considered posh British imported fashion worn by elegant British upper class people, but in reality it was only worn by tracksuit wearing teen chavs 😂😂

The sociologist Bourdieu famously wrote about this, his analysis on how “taste” is constructed is so interesting. Basically, if it’s associated with the working class, it’s considered tasteless and tacky. It really is true when you think about it, taste and aesthetics are very subjective but there seems to be some unspoken universal agreement on what is thought to be tasteless, that doesn’t materialise out of nowhere

Yeah, there's no one who hates chavs more than the actual working class, who ya know, work for a living.

Quite right, there's nothing work related about Chavs, a Chav has never done a days work in their life, so they don't deserve to be associated with the honest lot that are the working class, they have more in common with rich Tories who exploit the labor of others, both are social parasites in society it's just that Chavs never wear suits and ties

Yep, the utter cringe of it, the upper middle-class students are so desperate to basically cosplay and get in with the ghetto filty, it's like they have a fetish for it. Sick really.

Yes there are a lot of middle class chavs as well as working class ones. Plus working class kids who weren't chavs. But it seemed to be the default tribe if you weren't in another one because the clothes could be bought in every high street & for less money. Other tribes had clothing that you had to go out of the way to find in side streets in the city centre or you made them yourself. The music is more accessible as well as it's what you hear on the radio first thing in the morning. The other types of music would be on the radio in the evenings when the chavs are watching soaps & crime dramas on TV or hanging around on street corners. Like being a square in the 70's.

Chav isn’t a class or a fashion but it’s a behaviour and attitude. You can be working class and be a polite, decent person with manners. Chavs are just obnoxious, trashy and ruin it for everyone else.

@@notmenotme614 So true. The clothes they wear are very common so worn by non chavs as well often before the chavs wear them. Hoodies are worn by moshers as well as chavs.

Ironically, all these people who are trying to respect the working class by not ridiculing chavs are doing the exact opposite. Chavs do NOT define being working class. Chavs deserve their ridicule because they are ridiculous.

i like this. I often hung around 'Chavs' in school because they were the nicest and rawest ppl i knew. Everyone in school was nasty and violent, so it wasn't a matter of "oh theyre chavs" it was always just "oh, they're a nob."

@@nodruj8681 nah chavs are very white. Roadman is black

Chavs have evolved into roadmen. The whole style has carried into the younger generation. I still dress like a massive chav mixed up with today's clothes. I have a know people that still do all this. My sister is like this never worked 2 kids single mum. But this chav has grown up. I've got a job saving up for my house now at 28 (living at mums) most my boys cannot get out that circle some have some haven't, most of us dress in TNs tracksuits. We just grow up

Exactly. Fashions change, but the attitude is still the same. The middle and upper classes want to appear more grounded these days, so Chav'ness has just become more acceptable. My definition of a chav has always been an uneducated poor person, lacking dignity and taste, usually aggressive too. What they were is irrelevant.

Soles that wear out in weeks aren't getting my money, and cars that won't go faster without an additional £1200 payoff to the manufacturer aren't my thing. When it went from analogue TV to flat screens it was worth upgrading your TV, but now it's somehow become expected that you'll buy a new TV every year for a 1" bigger picture, when the TV is already too big for the room and viewing distance. Capitalism has run rampant and price differenciation means nothing holds its value unless it costs more than the average person can afford. I just buy most things second hand lightly used, and pick up vintage bits and bobs that last longer and weren't made to fall apart the day after the warranty expires. Then when I can't afford anything at all, at least some of my stuff will still work lol.

In the UK there's a very specific and well documented reason as to how and why that happened. Liverpool football hooligans basically took over Europe in the 80s (well until they inevitably got banned obviously) but they pillaged places like Italy and France for the designer clothes and Rolex's and so on that weren't available in the UK. They started going to football matching in thousands of pounds worth of clothing. It had two effects. Firstly the police ignored them, which is very useful for a football hooligan and the second was a badge of honour that not only had their team conquered Europe but so had their hooligans. This kind of just caught on and Aberdeen, Spurs and Arsenal started along with Everton and apparently Man United and Man City who apparently used to actually all go abroad with Liverpool. It's one of the big things you hear about with haysel is that it apparently was more like an England match. West Ham and Chelsea and everyone was there. Anyway because football is the biggest subculture in the UK, designer clothes and the casual trend became fashion amongst the working classes. That said though I know a lot of CEOs and bosses of companies who attend meetings in Stone Island jumpers and stuff but they're all people who made their money and all come from the bootnecks and paras and so on, who tend to be more working class

I remember doing some shopping for my mum when she came out of hospital. I was walking out of the supermarket back to me car, pushing a shopping trolley. Some chavs were sat on a wall next to where I’d parked my car, and shouted at me “Ha! Been shopping ‘ave ya??” What gave me away? Chavs deserved the ridicule they got.

Are you originally from Poland? (your nick)

@@Old_Geezer The only thing your comment tells me is that you didnt actually watch his video. Did you miss the part where he stopped the video to place an advertisement for a company? It’s 2022, I have adblock. 3:08 is where his ad starts

I apologize. You're quite correct, I didn't get that far - his narration didn't warrant it. Seems my instincts were well founded though - most people will shill anything if it pays - discernment, principles and integrity rarely get a look in so I can't say I'm surprised. And you are absolutely right to call him on it. Again, I apologize for my patronizing remarks to you.

I just saw someone talking about this recently. Supposedly they looked further into it and it's a Chinese owned company that has literally nobody there to do anything with any land that they don't even own . I get sponsorships and such, but hopefully enough people don't buy into it that the company eventually goes away.

@@johnjohnson6435 they also sponsor some really shady channels alot of them with far right leanings, it's kinda odd tbh

Exactly this

they became fitness influencers and beauty gurus

@@seabreeze4559 lmfao, okay that kinda made me laugh

Now I want a jimmythegiant video on extreme stamp collecting xD

Are you being serious ?!

This is a good point. There’s definitely less snobbery now because even the middle classes are starting to struggle significantly. Nobody can afford to be snobby and we’re all in the same sinking ship at this point

Cockneys all moved to Essex, and changed that accent to what it is today. The end of chavs and cockneys is largely due to immigration - it's not only the middle class who "white flight" it out of the cities when they become too diverse. The ones who remain become assimilated to the various immigrant subcultures.

I grew up in Medway. Born in Chatham n'all. Chavs were demonised but looking back the worst bullies I had were middle class kids who could alwyas afford expensive shit. Actual "chavs" from poorer backgrounds weren't perfect but they never gave me as much grief. I also noticed this when I moved to Essex. The biggest pricks were mainly from middle class backgrounds and the poorer students people classed as chavs were more accommodating despite their flaws. Worst thing is that some showed clear signs of intelligence but never applied themselves, acted out a lot, hung around with a bad crowd (outside of school) and just never did anything with themselves.

I agree, I started to notice the "Chav" phenomenon die out around 2008 after the recession. It was like almost overnight "Chavs" had grown up and had to graft harder to make ends meet and had no time for either "loud" fashion or anti social behaviour. Plus as you mention the middle classes were starting to struggle as well, so 1. they weren't so snobby/judgemental and also started to dress differently it started to become cool to wear plain sportswear - I put this down to more mixing between working and middle classes since the recession, less jobs meant middle class, especially young middle classes started to work more traditionally working class jobs. I can see this trend continuing into the 20's as we head into a new recession / cost of living crisis, middle and working class fashions, culture, values and interests are becoming more blended together.

I wouldn't call Cockney a trend. It's identity and heritage, really. You're born Cockney, but you're not born Chav.

Eshay was a word the lads/chavs used in the 00s now they are just called eshays.

I just heard 'Eshay" for the first time in the Heartbreak High reboot , and guessed it was associated with slang for something like Chav. 👍
