    no hip hop in England? Shurely shome mishtake! (OK, OK, Newport (home the The Chain) is just over the border in Wales... geographically speaking. [ Psychogeographically, it's like Cardiff Arms Park ;) ]

  2. Re:Chavs today, punks yesterday. by sitnor · · Score: 1 · on Loss of Applied IQ Among UK Youth?
    Um...Being that this is the first time I ever heard of Chavs (or Hoodies, Neds, Townies, Kevs, Charvers, Steeks, Spides, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Kappa Slappers, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Stigs, Scallies, Hood Rats) see http://www.chavscum.co.uk/ . I am fascinated. Where I come (Southern USA) from we call this behavior "redneck" or "bowhead" depending on how rural or urban and of course we say "slacker" if you happen to be brighter than you are motivated. From what I can tell, these are just kids taking pride (fierce pride perhaps) in being at the bottom of the social heap and seem to be having a lot of fun in the process. Check out Goldie Lookin Chain's video "Your Missus is a Nutter" at http://www.youknowsit.co.uk/ which is just hilarious and seems to be a rip off of a lot of nerd stuff from the 80s. So we all might just have a bit in common afterall, though honestly I can't really tell how much of this is serious and how much is satire. Is that about right?

    I suspect that the IQ tests metioned in the parent article are best used as a measure of what is relevant in different societies, generations and subcultures than it is in measuring intellect.

    Terry Wogan is also mentioned briefly in a song from the Goldie Lookin' Chain. Guess he's some kind of pop culture figure.

  8. Re:Wouldn't it be cool by emm-tee · · Score: 5, Informative · on BBC Launches Downloaded Music Charts

    Yeah, they entertain. They wouldn't claim anything else. They come from a shit town, and they take the piss out of it, themselves, and anyone else that strays near. They've been making records for years, giving them to their mates, having a laugh.

    Now the media has picked up on the comedy (and genius), so they get their moment of fame. I think they're pretty realistic about it though. As they say, they're out for a laugh, they fully expect to be back working the tills in supermarkets before long.

    They're fucking funny though. If you don't knows it, download some of their stuff, it's funny as fuck. Their website is http://www.youknowsit.co.uk/.
