A music and fashion subculture started in the mid-late seventies in the UK. Seventies teenagers developed their own dress code based on 1950s American Juvenile Delinquent novels and Hot Rod B-movies. Puttin distance between themselves and the older "Teddy Boys" who attended the same clubs and dances at the time.

The rockabilly scene still exists today.
