But what's the unifying principle of this group? That's what I'm trying to figure out. Socio-economic, ethnic, political etc. Do they all just like fake tans, verically striped shirts and making shadow puppets of butterflies? Do you know what I'm asking? 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.

Chavs are mostly white from low income families. Education is of no importance to them neither is employment. If they do get a part time job its only to afford an old Fiesta they can do up or something. I think the crux of it is education (or lack thereof)
