Someone didn't just one day say" hey you look like a sleazy oompa loompa just like me. Lets be Chavs and cavort like heinous dirtbags!" This is what I'm getting at.
From what I can tell chavs, like their American brethren, are young middle to lower class whites who enjoy club music and acting like goons. I think the fake tend thing is exclusive to the American faction though.

Do you know New Jersey well? My Atlantic City example kind of assumed that you did. I kind of take Jersey familiarity for granted because I lived in Philly for a long time.
