Chav -
“A person in Britain of a type stereotypically known for engaging in aggressively loutish behavior especially when in groups and for wearing flashy jewelry and athletic casual clothing (such as tracksuits and baseball caps)”
That is a more accurate description, class isn’t really anything to do with it, it is more about the behaviour, attitude and style.

Has the meaning since changed? When I look up the term, I mostly get pages saying it’s a classist insult towards the working class, which is quite different from your description.
