>be me, 29>live on a chav infested, mostly white estate your whole life>dress like a chav for camouflage (i don't wanna be fuckin kicked to death)>for non Brits, chavs aka roadmen/scally/charvers are a delinquent British subculture similar to the Eshay subculture in Australia>can be easily spotted with their caps, air max 95s, chains and manbags>chavs got even more dangerous as the years went on and they have knives now>shops got smashed up by chavs>it's unsafe to leave the house after it starts getting dark>my friend got his head smashed in by chavs when he gave them the wrong answer to "where you from">lots of tragic cases like Sophie Lancaster highlighting the pack mentality so prominent in chav culture>there are chavs in their 30's patrolling the streets on pushbikes>I stupidly said "I live down the road mate" to some chavs my age years ago and even though they were friendly I'm still paranoid about it because I saw one of those chavs last week and he stared at me for a few seconds>there's so many fucking rules in chav culture you have to follow or you'll end up being swarmed/kicked to death or stabbed to death. those "rules" include shit like don't look different, don't stare, if a chav thinks you've disrespected him you're dead basically>never had any shit off chavs but neither did Jack Woodley (RIP) who also dressed like a chav until he did the terrible crime of asking a pack of chavs why there was a fight>I'm going to be agoraphobic if I don't dress like this because chavs are literally fucking everywhere on my estate and city in general>chav subculture is objectively awful, about half of all killings in the uk are caused by tracksuit wearing chavs, roughly 1 chav related death per day in the uk
