I always kinda laugh when I see people in that style. Especially when there are a group of them, girls and guys, together. Is it rockabilly? I don't know! I don't really care, but I do find it totally amusing that people feel the need to wear what is essentially some sort of costume all the time. But who am I to talk? Aren't all clothes just a costume?

When tattoos are no longer cool enough and every other want-2-be Hipster has them, have your earlobes punched wide open and place a dish in them for more attention.

Mono - its kind of like punks: punk represented a rebellious, non-conformist style, yet they all looked the damn same. Leather jackets with stuff painted on, crazy hair, spikes, could-give-a-shit attitude... It's funny to me when people think being a punk meant doing doing your own thing (looking like everyone else in the subculture).
On a related note, will someone please usher in the ear-to-ear Mohawk? Please? A whole crop of people with hair that looks like British revolutionary hats would rule.

Funny you say that mg33. I hung out with a bunch of "rockers" in my early teens and they were, for the most part, non-conformist. Most of them were extremely poor and wore hand-me-down clothing that was often repaired crudely. Some kids used safety pins. I don't know if they were striving for a look, but I don't think it was all intentional. At some point it became mainstream.
On a related note, I second the ear-to-ear Mohawk movement.
