Greasers were a youth subculture in the 1960s, primarily associated with working-class teenagers in the United States. Characterized by their distinctive fashion, which included leather jackets, jeans, and slicked-back hairstyles, greasers often embraced a rebellious attitude and a love for rock 'n' roll music. Their identity was often defined by a sense of camaraderie among peers and a rivalry with the more affluent "Socs" (short for Socials), reflecting broader themes of class struggle. The greaser subculture was immortalized in literature and film, notably in S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders."
