    The rockabillies are truly one of the most interesting subcultures that I have ever glimpsed or come across. Dressed like a bunch of extras from a Japanese production of "Grease", they buck pretty much every norm of mainstream Japanese culture there is. Loud, proud, and completely unconventional, they are decked out in a 50`s style look of leather jackets and pants, dark denim, and massive hair held together by litres of hair gel.
    They show up every weekend, usually Sundays at Harajuku park to hang out, drink beer, blast Elvis music and have what can only be described as a Grease Lightning meets breakdancing dance off.

    I didn't know that this culture even existed in Japan at all! I'm very happy to see that it does! :D I live in Sweden and the rockabilly/rock'n roll culture is huge here, about 80 - 90% of my friends have an old American car from the 50's and 60's in the garage :)

    How long do you have to keep doing something to get credibility? I've been in Japan 27 years, and these guys have been doing it since long before I got here. Any of you sneerers been doing anything that long? Same place every week. The Sunday street of bands was closed down a long time ago, but these guys carry on. Police have given up hassling them - they really don't give a fuck.

    • @5thkiechannel

      Go to Harajuku on a Sunday, and find the entrance to Yoyogi Koen (park). They'll be there.

    • @RolandTemplar
      @RolandTemplar Před 8 lety

      +Pete Ford even im pleased, cause different of weeaboos, the westaboos (as this persons) give a more polite image of their hobbies
      im even following in DA some westaboos and drawn cool and love many western series that i like as lolirock, steven universe, regular show, etc

    • @peteford4388
      @peteford4388 Před 8 lety +11

      I had never heard of a Westaboo till now. I had to look it up. No they are not Westaboos. They are not obsessed with western culture. They are obsessed with rock and roll. There may have been Westaboos 20-30 years ago, but nowadays western culture is not so much imitated as appropriated, adapted, adjusted, and even improved on. In other words they make it their own.

    • @jkphilosophy
      @jkphilosophy Před 8 lety +4

      I agree, by definition, westaboos isn't the direct opposite of weaboos. These guys are specifically into just rock and roll and rockabilly.

    Cmon people. Adhering to any particular style is still copying, no matter where you're from. So stop acting like these guys are "culture thieves" or whatever, American greasers are exactly the same in essence. And there is nothing wrong with that.

    Stop whining about whose "stealing" "whose" culture. It's called universality of art. We have all assimilated each other's way of life in one way or another. We all now live a particular lifestyle that is drenched in world culture.
