Change the name of Chav accent

I know way more people describing themselves as Gopnik as a social culture movement than anything else like a slur.
How else would you refer to the stereotype of Adidas tracksuit wearing youths blasting hard-bass while squatting and drinking straight from a bottle of Vodka?

Ok but the word itself is meant to be derogatory and classist, which again I didn't even know. Like, it's worth at least finding another way to describe it if it bums some people out, isn't it? In American terms it'd be like just naming an accent "trailer trash" and putting it out there.

If it's made to mock them based on class, couldn't hurt to have some empathy and not take part right?
