Chavs: Historic and Contemporary

As chavs only came about and know to everyone in the early 2000's, try have always had the negative representation.
When chavs first came about they were known for wearing garish outfits, cheap designer brands such as Burberry, having their hair slicked back and wearing tacky looking gold jewellery. They were know to be foul mouthed, and percived to be a menace to society always causing trouble
and giving grief to others in society and having a 'not caring' attitude.

However over the years chavs are still seen in the same way but a lot has changed.
They have become more violent, lawless and out of control. They are still know to wear the same things but have moved forward slightly fashion wise but were more printed clothes and cheaper tackier versions of the high street clothes but the guys stil wear the same sports gear and trainers but they all seemed to have moved away from cheap designer and now wear fake designer brands or 'knock offs' as it fits in more with fashion today. Although you could still spot out a chav from the crowd.
Over the years young chavs have seen to commit more serious crimes. The crime rate has risen and everyday you hear of some sort of gang related or youth crime. Chavs have become a more known and talked about topic than it was in the past and the talk about gang culture is more often as gang culture has risen and become a more serious and big issue today.
Some rules have been taken against chavs as in 2005 wearing hoods up was banned in shopping centres. This was because wearing hoods and having faces covered looked intimidating and suspicious to others around so therefore a ban was out upon it.
Council estates have always been seen as an area wear chavs live and are from, they are known as the worst areas to live and be from ,as gang violence and crime is home to council estates. The amount of stabbings, shootings and murders around council estates and certain areas is ridiculously high.
Over the years the amount of people who are now on benefits has increased. More people are now on benefits for various reasons such as child, housing, unemployment ad the people on these benefits are seen to be chavs, working class or single mums with a large 'brood'.

Do with all these similarities and differences brings the typical view and representations of chavs today.
