Rockabilly is one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, and emerged in the early 1950s. The term rockabilly is a portmanteau of rock (from rock 'n' roll) and hillbilly, the latter a reference to the country music (often called hillbilly music in the 1940s and 1950s) that contributed strongly to the style's development. Other important influences on rockabilly include western swing, boogie woogie, and rhythm and blues. Although there are notable exceptions, its origins lie primarily in the southern United States. The influence and popularity of the style waned in the 1960s, but during the late 1970s and early 1980s, rockabilly enjoyed a major revival of popularity that has endured to the present, often within a rockabilly subculture.

Greaser came from The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. The protaganist - the opposite of the "Soc's" (aka preppy W.A.S.P.ish kids). The style of both is somewhat the same, think 50's hair, usually slicked back with pomade or otehr product, tshrts, jeans, sneakers or boots, and jackets/coats.

Q. You know the girls...the pin-ups on myspace with the retro clothes, bettie page hair, vintage rides and cutting edge ink. I love the life and if I could afford it I would be all out rockabilly all the time. Also, if you know a good place for affordable threads, let me know.

There is this great store in my city called Hysteric Glamour and the girl working there is a rockabilly girl too. Online places are awesome as well.
