Overview: The early to mid Sixties – when youth for the first time in history ran wild. A little known and barely recorded period when – unlike their Teddy-boy predecessors (who had been subject to the rigours of conscription) – those in their teens openly defied the social requirements of the day.
The Teddyboys of the late fifties were, despite their bizarre imitation of the early American Rock culture, still part of the system, and their brothers-in-arms, the leather-clad bikers, or rockers, were seen by the new breed of youth as a hangover from the war years, a troublesome barbarian who had ruled the roost for too long.
Picture the scene: schoolboys, school-leavers, mere kids, took to wearing brightly-coloured clothes – often handmade in West End tailors, the like of which had never been seen before: red, yellow, blue, and green leather and suede overcoats; two-tone handmade shoes and boots; pastel coloured trousers worn three inches above the ankle and gaudy shirts in a multitude of audacious styles. Imagine the ridicule they received from the older rockers who saw them as a pushover. But imagine also how they felt when they discovered that many girls preferred these little Beau Brummels, and that en-mass they weren’t quite the pushover that they’d hoped. In fact, they soon found out the hard way that many of these kids were of tough stock, coming from the backstreets and council estates of London, and were more than a match for anyone who fancied their chances in a fight.
