Greasers

Greasers are members of a social group depicted in 1960s American youth culture, often characterized by their style and attitudes. They’re typically associated with working-class backgrounds and are known for their distinctive fashion, such as leather jackets, jeans, and slicked-back hairstyles. Greasers often symbolize rebellion and camaraderie, sometimes facing conflicts with rival groups, like the Socs. The term became popular through literature and film, notably in S.E. Hinton’s novel "The Outsiders," illustrating themes of loyalty, identity, and social division among young people of that era.
