Rockabilly

Rockabilly is a style and sub-culture which models itself after the 1940s and 1950s. Nautical, greasers, pin-up, and rock n' roll all tie into this style, to create something very upbeat and borderline punk in appearance. The ladies wear wiggle dresses and have heavily tattooed arms. The gents style their hair into pompadours and model their clothes after Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, and Johnny Cash. Some variations of Rockabilly include Gothabilly, Punkabilly, Psychobilly, and Horrorbilly. I have been interested in Rockabilly for some time, but have only recently started getting involved with the clothing, the styles, and the music.
