** FootballHooligans can be found in many countries, but in '80s Britain hooliganism reached moral panic levels and took a heavy toll on the game itself. The name says it all -- the defining characteristic of many hooligans was identification with one's favorite football team to the point of tribalism and violence against fans of other teams, with many forming supporters' clubs that were often closer to gangs in their structure and behavior. Hooliganism died down from its '80s peak with the reforms to English football in TheNineties and government crackdowns on the "English disease", though it does still rear its head on occasion.

** Rednecks. Let's not forget the rednecks, the other modern Lower-Class Lout ''du jour''. This stereotype tends to focus more on racism, excessive drinking and drug usage (particularly methamphetamine and, more recently, prescription painkillers), filthy and unkempt appearances and property, and poor taste in women, and less on the tacky clothing (unfashionable, yes, but not tacky). There are other traits that overlap with the "gangsta" stereotype, namely a penchant for violence, open anti-intellectualism that is viewed with pride, lots of illegitimate children, a tendency to milk the welfare system as much as they can, and disproportionate pride in meager accomplishments that are usually just things that they should be doing in the first place.

** [[{{Juggalo}} Juggalos]] are frequent targets of this stereotype, with most of the more unflattering stereotypes of rednecks (excessive alcohol consumption and drug usage, DestructoNookie relationships, using violence to solve disputes, poor parenting, and frequent milking of the benefit system) and chavs (widespread PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy tendencies (as the fanbase is mostly white), tacky clothing (band shirts and hoodies for Creator/PsychopathicRecords artists and their associates, plus Hatchetman pendants), and tacky music (again, largely Psychopathic Records artists along with acts commonly associated with the label, particularly Tech N9ne, Kottonmouth Kings, Potluck, and Hed PE)) showing up. [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Faygo]], a Detroit-area soft drink, is also common among them, with bottles of it frequently within reach.

* The UsefulNotes/{{Philippines}} has the "Jejemon", originally arising in the early 2010s to mock poor grammar and overuse of LeetLingo in text messages from analog-era cellphones. As more sophisticated smartphones emerged, the term Jejemon was later used against usually lower-class hypebeast youths wearing hip-hop or later K-pop inspired clothing, play basketball, invading shopping malls to sing loud rap songs to the annoyance of shoppers. Street fights between rival Jejemon groups are very common.

* France has both the "beaufs", often lower to middle-class, have "American" given names (Kévin, Brandon, Jessica, Kilian, Jennifer, Jordan etc), and loves cars, sports, crappy pop music, and bad reality shows. There are also the "racailles" or "wesh-wesh", the black and Arab versions of this trope; often delinquents who live in public housing, wear mostly tracksuits and caps, and only listen to rap music.

** There is also a branch called "bakala", which focuses in car tuning and electronic music, specially mákina and bakalao, which is the reason behind her name. They tend to be more peaceful and articulated, if similarly despise mental complexity, and prefer partying nonstop than anything else. They are more prone to mix alcohol with other drugs, and thoroughly love adrenaline. While the cani type is roughly scattered across the entire Spain, the bakala is more concentrated on the northern lands, and it's increasingly rare to find them in other areas. Interestingly, the pure bakala are mostly male, while the female members are often mixed with their cani homologues.

** First, there were the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Boy "Teddy boys"]], or Teds, of TheFifties. They wore dressed in a manner inspired in equal parts by [[TheEdwardianEra Edwardian fashion]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_suits zoot suits]], and listened to American RockAndRoll and, before that, {{jazz}} and skiffle music. Female examples were known as Teddy girls and Judies. They're often cited as Britain's first youth UsefulNotes/{{subculture|s}}, and they were met with media hysteria like any other; in particular, they were associated with race riots against West Indian communities, and the film ''Blackboard Jungle'' was also known for sparking riots by Teddy boys wherever it was screened.
** After that, there were the mods and rockers of TheSixties. Mods were defined by an obsession with stylish clothes (tailored suits for the guys, miniskirts and androgynous clothes for the girls), their music of choice was modern jazz, RAndB, and {{soul}}, their drug of choice was amphetamines, and their vehicles of choice were Vespa and Lambretta motor scooters. Rockers, meanwhile, had many similarities to American {{greaser|Delinquents}} culture (see below), replacing the hot rods with motorcycles but otherwise maintaining the choice of fashion and music, to the point where the terms "greaser" and "rocker" are seen as interchangeable in Britain. The rivalry between mods and rockers was heavily hyped by the media at the time, to the point where it was the origin of the term [[MediaScaremongering "moral panic"]], with the media jumping onto fights between the two groups to claim that there was a war going on between them. While both groups had working-class roots, there was also a SlobsVersusSnobs element to their rivalry -- rockers saw mods as effeminate and trying to imitate the middle class, while mods saw rockers as crude thugs. (Incidentally, the UsefulNotes/{{skinheads}}, of all people, have their roots in the '60s mod scene.)

** Finally, we come to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav chavs]], the modern Lower-Class Lout ''du jour''. Their preferred fake brand is Burberry, and their slang includes such words as "innit"[[note]]"...is it not?"[[/note]], "Safe!"[[note]]"Wonderful!"[[/note]], "Sorted!"[[note]]"Done!" or "Ah, we no longer need to concern ourselves with this matter."[[/note]], "mint"[[note]]"awesome"[[/note]], "battyman/battybwoy"[[note]]Jamaican slang for a gay man, used exclusively in a derogatory context[[/note]], and "Brap! Brap!"[[note]]An onomatopaia for the noise made by a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-9 TEC-9]], typically combined with a [[GunsAkimbo pair]] of {{Finger Gun}}s being fired into the air GangstaStyle[[/note]]. They also may [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy emulate British Caribbean accents and diction when speaking]], but this is not a guarantee. Other names (that might be used depending where you are in the UK and may have slightly different criteria) include charva and scally. "Pikey" might also be used to describe them, but was originally a slur directed at [[UsefulNotes/IrishTravellers Travellers]] (and may be recognised as such).

Most of the time, they come from the state of Sinaloa or can trace their family origins to that place. If they are "religious", they end up showing off icons of Jesús Malverde or Santa Muerte. The Buchón is more likely to get himself killed (or get the crap beaten out of him in the ''best case scenario'') for pissing off the real narcs, who do not like their show-off attitude and their antics.

Modern examples are particularly prone to attempts at unjustified {{Internet Counterattack}}s, usually through bad reviews or callout posts that heavily gloss over their involvement (if not outright fabricating details to make them look better); when the original target calls them out, they will usually either quietly delete everything and pretend nothing happened, or double down in their attempts (often by enlisting the help of their equally trashy friends and family).

* Argentina has "villeros" or "wachiturros" ([[MeaningfulName "villagers" is the closest to an actual translation in English]], and it's used as a derogatory term, wachiturro doesn't have a translation), they're all over Buenos Aires, and a couple of provinces. Most listen to Cumbia Villera music [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll glorifying drug abuse and unsafe sex]] (or complaining that they want work or better job conditions). Their usual clothes consist of sport clothes, and imitations of these. The haircut for men is shaved on the sides and behind, and usually dyed blond on the top. The girls are similar, but they wear it longer. They usually live in either villas (similar to ghettos) and their usual jobs, if they have one, is selling bootleg products from little stands. If they don't, most are delinquents or prostitutes.

There are also the "racailles" or "wesh-wesh", the black and Arab versions of this trope; often delinquents who live in public housing, wear mostly tracksuits and caps, and only listen to rap music.
* Germany has (or had) at least two common varieties of this trope:
** The country currently has the Asis (from Asoziale = asocial ones). They live in large cities like UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}} or Mannheim, are unemployed, love cellphones, brand-clothes, Fastfood, attack dogs, marihuana, private television, and of course Hip-hop. Their hobbies include shoplifting, graffities, protection rackets, happy slapping, and bullying. They speak heavily mangled German with loads and loads of [[GratuitousEnglish English words]] (like "Ey tight, isch geh Aldi, dann Bitches abchecken, du Opfer"). They call everybody "Du" (considered disrespectful when used on strangers or one's elders instead of "Sie") and curse a lot with sexual or homosexual words (whilst the "proper" German only curses "shit" or "god"). They give their children American names like Kevin or Britnay or creative names like Kendra-Tiara-Zoe. The phenomenon of creative names in Asis has even its own name, ''Kevinismus''.
** In TheNineties, people who drove an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Manta Opel Manta]] were often stereotyped as this, especially in [[GermanHumour jokes]] of the time period. They were typically depicted as [[WorkingClassPeopleAreMorons dimwitted proletarians]] who wore tracksuit pants, cowboy boots, and mullets, dated DumbBlonde hairdressers, and drove [[DrivesLikeCrazy very aggressively]] with one elbow out the window. Manta drivers were mostly depicted as being from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergheim,_North_Rhine-Westphalia Bergheim]], and their cars were typically heavily modified (generally to make them look like race cars), as well as being decorated with a Kenwood sticker on the rear window and a "fox tail" on the radio antenna. Of course, not all Manta drivers were like this, [[TruthInTelevision but there were plenty who fit the stereotype to a T]].
* In Iran, there is the "javat". A typical javat speaks with a peculiar accent, acts tough, and has a silly haircut and baggy clothes.

''ars''[[note]]Yes, quite a few Israelis are similar to chavs, although aware of [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike what that sounds like in English]], and often joke about it.[[/note]]) and ''frekhot'' (female, sing. ''frekha''). Aside from standard Lower-Class Lout stuff, they are known for being extremely racist towards Arabs, Russians, and Ashkenazis, and non-Jews in general (UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict aside, quite a problem in a country where 1/3 of the ''domestic'' population are immigrants of some argue distinct). sort), always trying to rip others off for money, [[HypocriticalHumor being of Mizrahi Jewish or Arab descent]], speaking a low sociolect of Hebrew that’s often peppered with colloquialisms from Arabic and other languages that make it somewhat unintelligible to other parts of society, having a poor command English as a consequence of stupidity or a poor education, and listening to a genre of music called ''muzika mizrakhit'' (lit. ‘Eastern music’), influenced by Mediterranean, Arabic, Caucasian, and pop music, creating music that resembles the kind their Balkan counterparts listen to. Some of these features are seen as quintessentially Israeli to some extent, causing some CulturalCringe for those who wish to disassociate from it.



* Mexico has two main flavours of this:
** The ''Naco''[[note]]"Naca" would be the term for a female one[[/note]], is loud, uneducated, unrefined in fashion senses, speaks using only DoubleEntendre, UnusualEuphemism and weird puns, watch only soccer matches (or [[SoapOpera telenovelas]] if female), and they might or might not be a delinquent, work in the informal economy, or just poor and pretending that they have money. More often than not they have either Americanized names or names based on soccer players (such as Brayan, Kevin, Brandon, Iker[[note]]due to Iker Casillas[[/note]] on boys and Kimberly, Britney and Tiffany on girls). Their preferred music genre are Cumbias, Tropical and Banda music. They are usually stereotyped as having a very marked Chilango [[note]]from Mexico City and its surrounding areas[[/note]] accent. Another stereotype that they have is that they are students at [=CONALEP=], a system of free public schools in Mexico[[note]]The stereotype of students of the [=CONALEP=] system are all thughs, delinquents and junkies, where TeenagePregnancy, underage alcoholism and drug use are rampant; the truth is way off from the mark (but the students often bring them up for laughs), with these schools providing journeyman certifications for programming and other trades.[[/note]] that caters mostly to working class students.
** The ''Buchón''[[note]]"Buchona" if female[[/note]] (also called ''Agropecuarios''[[note]]"Agropecuarians" due to their rural roots or usually stereotyped as students of agricultural sciences[[/note]] in Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, and ''Mangueras''[[note]]"Hoses"[[/note]] in Baja California) are smug, cocky, wear tackier clothing and jewelry than the first ones, listens to Narcocorridos, Banda Sinaloense or Norteño music, are [[HairTriggerTemper extremely aggresive and confrontational]], and acts like a [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster hammy drug trafficker]]. The female version also wears tacky clothes and jewelry, listens to narcororridos, has [[GagBoobs exaggerated breasts,]] [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure small waists and large butt sizes]] and sometimes exaggerated facial features due to excessive plastic surgery done on themselves. Most of the time, they come from the state of Sinaloa or can trace their family origins to that place. If they are "religious", they end up showing off icons of Jesús Malverde or Santa Muerte. The Buchón is more likely to get himself killed (or get the crap beaten out of him in the ''best case scenario'') for pissing off the real narcs, who do not like their show-off attitude and their antics.



* Scotland has "Neds" (which are similar to chavs, although some argue distinct).



* Spain has one variant or two.
** The main one is the "cani".[[note]]The female form would be "choni", also called "jessi" or "jenni" [[/note]] The canis usually sport mohawk-esque haircuts when male and tacky buns when female, and in any case wear big amounts of golden jewelry complete with gaudy-colored tracksuits and caps. They listen to reggaeton and underground flamenco, and love especially soccer, motorcycling, and ocasionally bodybuilding. On the streets, their trademarks are their distintively loud language, heavy drinking, uncultivated mentality and penchant for troublemaking, although they don't have an actual love for fighting and typically back away from brawls if they are not in a overt numerical advantage. The word "cani" apears to come from "canijo", a Spanish word for "skinny" which was formerly used a friendly insult among them.
** There is also a branch called "bakala", which focuses in car tuning and electronic music, specially mákina and bakalao, which is the reason behind her name. They tend to be more peaceful and articulated, if similarly despise mental complexity, and prefer partying nonstop than anything else. They are more prone to mix alcohol with other drugs, and thoroughly love adrenaline. While the cani type is roughly scattered across the entire Spain, the bakala is more concentrated on the northern lands, and it's increasingly rare to find them in other areas. Interestingly, the pure bakala are mostly male, while the female members are often mixed with their cani homologues.



* Israel has ''arsim'' (male, sing. ''ars''[[note]]Yes, quite a few Israelis are aware of [[InMyLanguageThatSoundsLike what that sounds like in English]], and often joke about it.[[/note]]) and ''frekhot'' (female, sing. ''frekha''). Aside from standard Lower-Class Lout stuff, they are known for being extremely racist towards Arabs, Russians, and Ashkenazis, and non-Jews in general (UsefulNotes/ArabIsraeliConflict aside, quite a problem in a country where 1/3 of the ''domestic'' population are immigrants of some sort), always trying to rip others off for money, [[HypocriticalHumor being of Mizrahi Jewish or Arab descent]], speaking a low sociolect of Hebrew that’s often peppered with colloquialisms from Arabic and other languages that make it somewhat unintelligible to other parts of society, having a poor command English as a consequence of stupidity or a poor education, and listening to a genre of music called ''muzika mizrakhit'' (lit. ‘Eastern music’), influenced by Mediterranean, Arabic, Caucasian, and pop music, creating music that resembles the kind their Balkan counterparts listen to. Some of these features are seen as quintessentially Israeli to some extent, causing some CulturalCringe for those who wish to disassociate from it.
* In Iran, there is the "javat". A typical javat speaks with a peculiar accent, acts tough, and has a silly haircut and baggy clothes.
* Mexico has two main flavours of this:
** The ''Naco''[[note]]"Naca" would be the term for a female one[[/note]], is loud, uneducated, unrefined in fashion senses, speaks using only DoubleEntendre, UnusualEuphemism and weird puns, watch only soccer matches (or [[SoapOpera telenovelas]] if female), and they might or might not be a delinquent, work in the informal economy, or just poor and pretending that they have money. More often than not they have either Americanized names or names based on soccer players (such as Brayan, Kevin, Brandon, Iker[[note]]due to Iker Casillas[[/note]] on boys and Kimberly, Britney and Tiffany on girls). Their preferred music genre are Cumbias, Tropical and Banda music. They are usually stereotyped as having a very marked Chilango [[note]]from Mexico City and its surrounding areas[[/note]] accent. Another stereotype that they have is that they are students at [=CONALEP=], a system of free public schools in Mexico[[note]]The stereotype of students of the [=CONALEP=] system are all thughs, delinquents and junkies, where TeenagePregnancy, underage alcoholism and drug use are rampant; the truth is way off from the mark (but the students often bring them up for laughs), with these schools providing journeyman certifications for programming and other trades.[[/note]] that caters mostly to working class students.
** The ''Buchón''[[note]]"Buchona" if female[[/note]] (also called ''Agropecuarios''[[note]]"Agropecuarians" due to their rural roots or usually stereotyped as students of agricultural sciences[[/note]] in Nuevo León and Tamaulipas, and ''Mangueras''[[note]]"Hoses"[[/note]] in Baja California) are smug, cocky, wear tackier clothing and jewelry than the first ones, listens to Narcocorridos, Banda Sinaloense or Norteño music, are [[HairTriggerTemper extremely aggresive and confrontational]], and acts like a [[DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster hammy drug trafficker]]. The female version also wears tacky clothes and jewelry, listens to narcororridos, has [[GagBoobs exaggerated breasts,]] [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure small waists and large butt sizes]] and sometimes exaggerated facial features due to excessive plastic surgery done on themselves. Most of the time, they come from the state of Sinaloa or can trace their family origins to that place. If they are "religious", they end up showing off icons of Jesús Malverde or Santa Muerte. The Buchón is more likely to get himself killed (or get the crap beaten out of him in the ''best case scenario'') for pissing off the real narcs, who do not like their show-off attitude and their antics.
* Spain has one variant or two.
** The main one is the "cani".[[note]]The female form would be "choni", also called "jessi" or "jenni" [[/note]] The canis usually sport mohawk-esque haircuts when male and tacky buns when female, and in any case wear big amounts of golden jewelry complete with gaudy-colored tracksuits and caps. They listen to reggaeton and underground flamenco, and love especially soccer, motorcycling, and ocasionally bodybuilding. On the streets, their trademarks are their distintively loud language, heavy drinking, uncultivated mentality and penchant for troublemaking, although they don't have an actual love for fighting and typically back away from brawls if they are not in a overt numerical advantage. The word "cani" apears to come from "canijo", a Spanish word for "skinny" which was formerly used a friendly insult among them.
** There is also a branch called "bakala", which focuses in car tuning and electronic music, specially mákina and bakalao, which is the reason behind her name. They tend to be more peaceful and articulated, if similarly despise mental complexity, and prefer partying nonstop than anything else. They are more prone to mix alcohol with other drugs, and thoroughly love adrenaline. While the cani type is roughly scattered across the entire Spain, the bakala is more concentrated on the northern lands, and it's increasingly rare to find them in other areas. Interestingly, the pure bakala are mostly male, while the female members are often mixed with their cani homologues.
* France has both the "beaufs", often lower to middle-class, have "American" given names (Kévin, Brandon, Jessica, Kilian, Jennifer, Jordan etc), and loves cars, sports, crappy pop music, and bad reality shows. There are also the "racailles" or "wesh-wesh", the black and Arab versions of this trope; often delinquents who live in public housing, wear mostly tracksuits and caps, and only listen to rap music.
* Germany has (or had) at least two common varieties of this trope:
** The country currently has the Asis (from Asoziale = asocial ones). They live in large cities like UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}} or Mannheim, are unemployed, love cellphones, brand-clothes, Fastfood, attack dogs, marihuana, private television, and of course Hip-hop. Their hobbies include shoplifting, graffities, protection rackets, happy slapping, and bullying. They speak heavily mangled German with loads and loads of [[GratuitousEnglish English words]] (like "Ey tight, isch geh Aldi, dann Bitches abchecken, du Opfer"). They call everybody "Du" (considered disrespectful when used on strangers or one's elders instead of "Sie") and curse a lot with sexual or homosexual words (whilst the "proper" German only curses "shit" or "god"). They give their children American names like Kevin or Britnay or creative names like Kendra-Tiara-Zoe. The phenomenon of creative names in Asis has even its own name, ''Kevinismus''.
** In TheNineties, people who drove an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_Manta Opel Manta]] were often stereotyped as this, especially in [[GermanHumour jokes]] of the time period. They were typically depicted as [[WorkingClassPeopleAreMorons dimwitted proletarians]] who wore tracksuit pants, cowboy boots, and mullets, dated DumbBlonde hairdressers, and drove [[DrivesLikeCrazy very aggressively]] with one elbow out the window. Manta drivers were mostly depicted as being from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergheim,_North_Rhine-Westphalia Bergheim]], and their cars were typically heavily modified (generally to make them look like race cars), as well as being decorated with a Kenwood sticker on the rear window and a "fox tail" on the radio antenna. Of course, not all Manta drivers were like this, [[TruthInTelevision but there were plenty who fit the stereotype to a T]].
* Argentina has "villeros" or "wachiturros" ("villagers" is the closest to an actual translation in English, and it's used as a derogatory term, wachiturro doesn't have a translation), they're all over Buenos Aires, and a couple of provinces. Most listen to Cumbia Villera music glorifying drug abuse and unsafe sex (or complaining that they want work or better job conditions). Their usual clothes consist of sport clothes, and imitations of these. The haircut for men is shaved on the sides and behind, and usually dyed blond on the top. The girls are similar, but they wear it longer. They usually live in either villas (similar to ghettos) and their usual jobs, if they have one, is selling bootleg products from little stands. If they don't, most are delinquents or prostitutes.

Alphabetizing some examples


* [[UsefulNotes/TheUnitedKingdom The UK]] has had a number of such stereotypes over the years.
** First, there were the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Boy "Teddy boys"]], or Teds, of TheFifties. They wore dressed in a manner inspired in equal parts by [[TheEdwardianEra Edwardian fashion]] and [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoot_suits zoot suits]], and listened to American RockAndRoll and, before that, {{jazz}} and skiffle music. Female examples were known as Teddy girls and Judies. They're often cited as Britain's first youth UsefulNotes/{{subculture|s}}, and they were met with media hysteria like any other; in particular, they were associated with race riots against West Indian communities, and the film ''Blackboard Jungle'' was also known for sparking riots by Teddy boys wherever it was screened.
** After that, there were the mods and rockers of TheSixties. Mods were defined by an obsession with stylish clothes (tailored suits for the guys, miniskirts and androgynous clothes for the girls), their music of choice was modern jazz, RAndB, and {{soul}}, their drug of choice was amphetamines, and their vehicles of choice were Vespa and Lambretta motor scooters. Rockers, meanwhile, had many similarities to American {{greaser|Delinquents}} culture (see below), replacing the hot rods with motorcycles but otherwise maintaining the choice of fashion and music, to the point where the terms "greaser" and "rocker" are seen as interchangeable in Britain. The rivalry between mods and rockers was heavily hyped by the media at the time, to the point where it was the origin of the term [[MediaScaremongering "moral panic"]], with the media jumping onto fights between the two groups to claim that there was a war going on between them. While both groups had working-class roots, there was also a SlobsVersusSnobs element to their rivalry -- rockers saw mods as effeminate and trying to imitate the middle class, while mods saw rockers as crude thugs. (Incidentally, the UsefulNotes/{{skinheads}}, of all people, have their roots in the '60s mod scene.)
** FootballHooligans can be found in many countries, but in '80s Britain hooliganism reached moral panic levels and took a heavy toll on the game itself. The name says it all -- the defining characteristic of many hooligans was identification with one's favorite football team to the point of tribalism and violence against fans of other teams, with many forming supporters' clubs that were often closer to gangs in their structure and behavior. Hooliganism died down from its '80s peak with the reforms to English football in TheNineties and government crackdowns on the "English disease", though it does still rear its head on occasion.
** Finally, we come to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav chavs]], the modern Lower-Class Lout ''du jour''. Their preferred fake brand is Burberry, and their slang includes such words as "innit"[[note]]"...is it not?"[[/note]], "Safe!"[[note]]"Wonderful!"[[/note]], "Sorted!"[[note]]"Done!" or "Ah, we no longer need to concern ourselves with this matter."[[/note]], "mint"[[note]]"awesome"[[/note]], "battyman/battybwoy"[[note]]Jamaican slang for a gay man, used exclusively in a derogatory context[[/note]], and "Brap! Brap!"[[note]]An onomatopaia for the noise made by a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEC-9 TEC-9]], typically combined with a [[GunsAkimbo pair]] of {{Finger Gun}}s being fired into the air GangstaStyle[[/note]]. They also may [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy emulate British Caribbean accents and diction when speaking]], but this is not a guarantee. Other names (that might be used depending where you are in the UK and may have slightly different criteria) include charva and scally. "Pikey" might also be used to describe them, but was originally a slur directed at [[UsefulNotes/IrishTravellers Travellers]] (and may be recognised as such).



* Russia has its equivalent in "gopnik"[[note]]a term originating from "gop-stop", slang for street mugging. Etymologic principle is the same as for beatniks[[/note]]. Gopniks wear [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Abibas, Nyke, and Puwa]], drink [[ATankardOfMooseUrine cheap beer]], eat [[TrademarkFavoriteFood sunflower seeds]], are obsessed with mobile phones (more often than not acquired by mugging), and are laughably stupid and violent. Some occasionally become full-fledged ''[[TheMafiya bros]]'', most of them either grow up or [[MuggingTheMonster piss off the wrong people]] and wind up in a gutter somewhere. Particularly stupid ones frequently try to pretend that they are either actual ''bros'' or have big-time connections, and they're usually the ones who wind up dead when they run afoul of the real deal.

This stereotype tends to focus more on racism, excessive drinking and drug usage (particularly methamphetamine and, more recently, prescription painkillers), filthy and unkempt appearances and property, and poor taste in women, and less on the tacky clothing (unfashionable, yes, but not tacky). There are other traits that overlap with the "gangsta" stereotype, namely a penchant for violence, open anti-intellectualism that is viewed with pride, lots of illegitimate children, a tendency to milk the welfare system as much as they can, and disproportionate pride in meager accomplishments that are usually just things that they should be doing in the first place.

* Being generally [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain bigoted and intolerant]], with a good deal of racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and nativism. Frequently blames immigrants (especially [[TheIllegal the illegal kind]]), feminists, homosexuals, and people of other ethnicities for all of their woes and their country's woes. May have [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic extreme right-wing sympathies]] if white, or have MalcolmXerox sympathies and abuse NWordPrivileges if non-white.

** Osakans are frequent targets of this stereotype, with several of the more unflattering stereotypes of rednecks (excessive alcohol consumption, using violence to solve disputes, lack of mannerisms and intelligence) and Chavs (tacky clothing, speaking with a dialect deemed a low sociolect) showing up, along with gluttonous eating habits, excessive materialism and greed. This isn't helped by the fact that the word Yankii originated from an area in Osaka's Namba neighborhood known as Amerkiamura (literally "American Village"), where they wore American-style fashion such as hawaiian shirts and baggy cargo pants. See TheIdiotFromOsaka.

* Japanese Yankees/Yankis would fit. The pop culture portrayal being "violent low-class delinquents given to speaking roughly, wearing tacky fake "brand-name" clothes and jewelry, and driving heavily modified (and also tacky) motorbikes/scooters". See JapaneseDelinquents. UsefulNotes/{{Bosozoku}} is a related subculture more focused around motorcycles than the other stuff. GyaruGirl (and the male counterpart, ''gyaru-oh'' also overlap sometimes, though they aren't stereotyped as violent.

** After that, there were the mods and rockers of TheSixties. Mods were defined by an obsession with stylish clothes (tailored suits for the guys, miniskirts and androgynous clothes for the girls), their music of choice was modern jazz, RAndB, and {{soul}}, their drug of choice was amphetamines, and their vehicles of choice were Vespa and Lambretta motor scooters. Rockers, meanwhile, had many similarities to American {{greaser|Delinquents}} culture (see below), replacing the hot rods with motorcycles but otherwise maintaining the choice of fashion and music, to the point where the terms "greaser" and "rocker" are seen as interchangeable in Britain. The rivalry between mods and rockers was heavily hyped by the media at the time, to the point where it was the origin of the term [[YouCanPanicNow "moral panic"]], with the media jumping onto fights between the two groups to claim that there was a war going on between them. While both groups had working-class roots, there was also a SlobsVersusSnobs element to their rivalry -- rockers saw mods as effeminate and trying to imitate the middle class, while mods saw rockers as crude thugs. (Incidentally, the UsefulNotes/{{skinheads}}, of all people, have their roots in the '60s mod scene.)
