The rockabilly or rockabilly style is one of the first rock and
roll subgenres. It originates in the 1950s and comes from the contraction of
the words rock and hillbilly. His influence and popularity declines in the
1960s, but in the late seventies and early eighties it had a revival in
popularity reaching through the rockabilly subculture.
Perhaps the most popular men’s hairstyle of the
the 1950′s, the pompadour, is the totally today look of a rockabilly man. When
the style first became popular, men used cream to slick the hair down and give
it a wet look. In this videos you can see some examples of this style.
But without any doubt, the most characteristic
person for explaining this hair style and wild behavior is John Travolta in the
film Grease. In this film it is shown how a typical Rockabilly guy, who was a
combination of rebellion, sexuality and freedom, is detected because of his
style: combined sharp, edgy clothing, distinctively styled shoes, and elaborate
hair-styles to evoke a “rocker” attitude.
In this case, how to use a comb determined the look of a social and musical movement, but this example can be seen in hundreds of movements during the history, where the people of the time used their hair style as a way to distinguish for the rest of the world.
