Chavs were made up by a middle/upperclass newspaper in 2004 to paint the working class as all animalistic thugs. They never actually existed, and like with The Loch Ness Monster, the stories of run-ins with them were always too ridiculous to be true

What is it with a bunch of bad takes being posted on this community recently
How is this a bad take?
Because chavs existed. I saw them. My siblings saw them. There are various news reports. Not all working class people are chavs.
Chav is a derogatory synonym for working class people, though. It was made up to demonize the working class.
