A young person who wears leather jacket, army boots and a cowboy hat just to show off. He is associated with something rebellious.
word of rockers, originally served for the determination of british youth in britain in the sixties of last century, which allowed a very disrespectful to dissect along the roads on a motorcycle. rockers are the concept, as opposed to modes - their own peers, but using as a transport scooters. rockers have emerged as a subculture in the fifties - early sixties, in the era of rock 'n' roll. interestingly, despite the fact that the rockers have been in the fifties, associated with the subculture, and accordingly, the music and rock 'n' roll, they were only in the sixties. however, the first united rockers only one principle - the way of riding a motorcycle, and then there was such a thing as style.
The style rocker spawned the need for and practicality. Rockers wear leather motorcycle jacket adorned with an abundance of buttons, patches, badges and pins. On their heads they are often quite fashionable leather cap. Usually they go on a motorcycle wearing a helmet with an open face, the air spectacles and a white silk scarf, which protects them from the mouth of hypothermia. Hair rockers can, in principle, depend on personal preference, but often it is referred to as smoothed or, conversely, enhanced pompadour hair style that characterizes the members of rock 'n' roll fifties.
In the late 1950's a very influencial biker cult known as the Rockers started in England. The time was right. Post WW-II England saw the end of rationing. People had money to spend on bikes. The new ring roads around cities could double as speedways and the trucker cafйs on these roads were meeting places. Further ingredients -according to Johnny Stuart in "Rockers!"- were "a love affair with bikes and speed, a very English interpretation of American 'glamour', a sense of alienation from the 'worthwhile goals' of straight society, (. . . ) and (. . . ) rock'n'roll music".
Rockers wore leather as a Bike Boy's armour. Typical for them was the white scarf, tightly wound around mouth and neck. Although the 'official' dress code for the Rockers was completed with a pair of Levi's jeans, many of them wore leather pants instead, to match their leather jackets.
The Rocker movement was to be very influential, not only for the way the general public looked at leather but also for later youth subcultures like punk in the 1970's. The masculine Rockers image of black leather, their lifestyle and their symbols were copied many times by very different groups. We believe they were one of the reasons rock and pop stars in England in the early sixties began to wear leather, who in their turn made it possible for many young gays to see leather. But many gay leather fetishists were also directly influenced by their masculine look as well. They carefully copied the image of the manly Rockers, including the white socks folded over the top of boots and the white scarf that the Rockers themselves had taken from the World War I aviation pilots
The Rockers of the nineteen fifties and sixties were very close. But during the nineteen seventies the movement as a sub-culture had almost vanished. Then in the early eighties a few remaining Rockers organised reunions that would become very popular. The reunions are still dominated by motor bikes and black rebel leather! Many of the visitors are far too young to have been around in the early days. Apparently the rocker movement is still appealing to new members
One of the versions of the Rockers subculture still exists in Japan. The annual Rockers Days there are visited by motor cyclists with all the classic symbols the original English Rockers had. The rocker movement is also appealing to people in a different time and with a different cultural background.
