Chav Hunting

Class differences can inspire some powerful cultural material and the reaction in Great Britain to the Chav subculture is no exception. Chavs are widely derided and made fun of, yet are just as widely copied and celebrated.

This Chavs slideshow shows many of the fashion choices commonly attributed to Chavs as well as typical derisive comments about them.

Chavs Are Great is another mocumentary by an outsider.

Chav Hunting is a pattern of producing videos that depict real and simulated outings to spot them at their hangouts. Operation Spy On Chav (distracted chav hunting) typifies this sort of video.

This Chav Hunting video took it a bit too far.

This video of British kids rapping, and from what I can tell, it is among the rare YouTube videos actually made by Chavs (but perhaps not uploaded by Chavs).
