      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

      “Chav” (/tʃæv/), also “charver”, “scally” and “roadman” in parts of England, is a British term, usually used in a pejorative way. The term is used to describe an anti-social lower-class youth dressed in sportswear.

      By 2005, the term had become widely used to refer to a type of anti-social, uncultured youth, portrayed as wearing excessive flashy jewellery, white athletic shoes, baseball caps, and sham designer clothes. Similarly, girls are portrayed as commonly wearing clothes which expose their midriffs.[9]

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogan

      Bogan (/ˈboʊɡən/ BOHG-ən[1]) is Australian and New Zealand slang to describe a person whose speech, clothing, behaviour, or attitudes are considered unrefined or unsophisticated.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopnik

      A gopnik[a] is a member of a delinquent subculture in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and in other former Soviet republics—a young man (or a woman, a gopnitsa) of urban working-class background.[2]

      A stereotypical image of a gopnik is one of being conservative, aggressive, homophobic, nationalist and racist,[8] as well as holding strong anti-Western views.[2] Gopniks are also stereotyped as being prone to substance and alcohol abuse, crime and hooliganism

      Think “bad boy”.

      Bad boy archetype, a male who behaves badly within societal norms yet is attractive to women.

      The bad boy is a cultural archetype that is variously defined and often used synonymously with the historic terms rake or cad: a male who behaves badly, especially within societal norms.

      I knew “chav” was British slang, but I found it hilarious that the OP provided synonyms that didn’t help in any sense.
