Teddy Boys
Opis filmu
Opis oryginalny: angielski
Later generations worried about their mods, rockers, hippies, punks, new age travellers and hoodies, but the 1950s gave rise to the first 'moral panic' - though the term wasn't coined until the 1970s - centred on teenage culture, itself a relatively new phenomenon of the postwar years. The 'Teddy boys' - so named because of their adoption of revived and refashioned Edwardian styles - were blamed for a host of social evils from petty crime to gang fighting and racist attacks. The mostly working-class Teds had expensive taste in clothes and haircuts, which they were able to satisfy thanks to their new disposable income in a recovering post-austerity Britain.
