When I were young they were called townies and scallies. I think "roadman" is more prevelant now though.

Isn't "roadman" more specific to London, and more of a voluntary lifestyle choice than a chav?

It probably originated there but I think it's just spread everywhere now. See loads of teens dressed all in black listening to drill music, some even with their faces covered as if they're off to rob a bank.
