Why I Hate Street Scum
Of course, this scum is not exclusive to England. One can smell their stench even here in the United Arab Emirates. In fact, their kind is quite abundant here in the UAE hence the reason for the creation of this entry.
How does one identify this street filth? It’s actually pretty easy. They usually hang around in groups to protect themselves from looking like complete morons. A baseball cap (or one depicting a famous rap star) is usually turned the wrong way round on their head. Most importantly, though, is that because they look so stupid, they have to redeem themselves somehow. This is why you’ll see them walking like they have a broken leg as they travel from one music store to the next. Also, extra accessories are sometimes present such as long, silver chains that they wear round their necks and bandanas that they wrap around their heads. Occasionally, you may also be able to see them performing a few moronic hand gestures.
Chav checklist:
1. Cheap sporting attire
2. Chain necklace/dog tags
3. Inverted cap of some sort
4. Walks with a limp
5. Bandana
6. Listens incessantly to rap
7. Makes stupid hand gestures when listening to rap
But now onto the subject of this entry - why I hate street scum. Why do I hate them? Yes, I have a reason for detesting their kind. How can you respect a group of ‘people’ that lacks the individuality to form their own tastes and opinions and as a result opts for the easy option - join the filthy masses and adhere to their fashion blindly thinking that somehow they may be looked up upon.

The picture you have created of street scum is very narrow minded. I myself derived from street scum and not as a collective, simply in the singular. I did not dress as demonstated in your photos, more punk style and slept rough behind a wall in one of the most prestigious towns in Surrey. Your vocabulary suggests that you maybe closer to your subjects than you give out. Are you a Chav ? AYE, Go Waste Yourself, You’re Not Worth A Bullet Son. Kind Regards,

You’ll have to forgive me for that article - it was written at a time when I was more interested in writing for the sake of writing.
But in my defence, you do not derive from my definition of street scum from your description. I have all respect for those who have lived harsh lives, but the people I describe here are very well to do.

The truth well told… good article and very good reply (the last one to the Survivor). I perfectly understood what you mean and share your point of view. Cheers.

I think that all working class teenagers who think it’s their right to abuse other’s rights via intimidation, rude verbal and physical behaviour aimed at pedestrians, as they pass by in their cars and general disturbance of what could be a peaceful society… should be told to serve unpaid education/work of some sort… SO THEY CAN GET A LIFE and stop bothering everyone else!
