British Youths 'Chav'


'Chav'

-Derogertory term
- 'a young woking class persom whose tasts, although something expensive, are considered vulgar'.

Plan B- Ill manners
-Protesting against the word 'CHAV' 
-Blaming politicians, middle class.. 'rich people' 
- Council house estate kids
-Closed down community center.. what will the do now?
-Confrontational


-Representation of Youth
-Bikes
-Vicious Dogs
-Smoking 
-Hoodies, bandana 
-Filming fights on phones 
-Violence
-Inforces the 'Chav' stereotype 

-Plan B's protest song rises awaremess and grab attention. 
-Song offers a dense and thorny lyric, full of unresolved contridiction and abrupt changes of subject. 

It works well as a protest song as is highlights the government are to blame. Their community centers got shit down, therefore what do they have left to do when the'r 'entertaiment' is taken away. They say they are called 'Chavs' so will then act like one.

However the song  is showing a stereotypical view of chav and highlighting this in his lyrics. which contradicts and makes it unclear as a protest.
