[@leeetchells609]

The young lads in the early 50s started wearing Edwardian clothes because they wanted to look more like their heroes in the western movies popular at that time.
Rock n roll came later and the two were forever linked.

Um 1976 in der Pestluft von Heavy Metall
Fans,Hippies,Beatles Anhängern und
Punks überleben zu können,konnte man
zur eigenen Rettung nur Teddy Boy werden...Teddy Boy Rules OK
