      Aren’t most ‘chavs’ just 30 something millenials now? I don’t think the youth still use that word.

          From what I’ve gathered no, as ‘roadman’ means a hard guy who deals drugs and that sort of dangerous machismo is appealing to young men, hence so many of them emulating the look.

          Chav wasn’t gender or age specific, so had a much wider catchment for who it could describe.

          I really don’t know what the new ‘chav’ is though, you’d have to ask a teenager.
