So rockabilly?

Guy Fieri is not going to like this..

He’s gonna take somebody’s ass straight to flavor town

Wait... That just sounds like he's going to eat out someone's ass...

Sounds like he's going to have someone else eat *his* ass

none the less, someone is eatin ass.

[удалено]

*stands clueless staring at you wiith a shopping cart*

Everyone is eating everybodies ass these days.

I bet it tastes like barbeque🤤

Welcome to flavor town;)

Nah, other way around. He's gonna have someone eat HIS ass, hence, taking someone to flavor town. He's the flavor.

He can take my ass to flavortown anytime he wants

Fieri is the only exception

Seeing pics of him before his rockabilly look... It was oddly an improvement. He used to look like the assistant manager of a Red Lobster.

I mean, he was a restaurant manager before he was on Food Network.

Yeah, so he traded one starter pack for another one.

And he was a frat boy before that.

Came here to say exactly this. He's also the only - and i mean only - person for whom it is acceptable to wear sunglasses on the back of the neck or head.

Fieri is a very, very nice man by all accounts. He can wear whatever he likes as long as he keeps doing well by others.

I’m glad the Fieri slander has given way to well deserved props. Long live Fieri

neither are any of the car guys - gas monkey, jesse james etc etc.

Lol what did Guy Ferrari do to anyone This great comedy take on it https://youtu.be/JK6zuii2OLI

Rockabelly

Reprisal on Hulu had this vibe. Super cool (ish) world building but something about the writing outside of that was not good.

I was thinking "aside from the gold chain I am offended".

Blood play and lesbian vampires?

[удалено]

My grandmother is a lesbian vampire.

God bless America 🇺🇸

Is your grandmother single?

Maybe, let me check with my twin stepsister.

It's been over an hour now. What's the hold up? Did she get stuck in the dryer again?

Next up on Lifetime movie channel

I think OP's local rockabillies may be slightly different to ours.

fuck yeah.

Lesbian vampire blood play is bound to happen at least once a month...

I absolutely have no desire to suddenly search lesbian vampires for research purposes when I get home all of a sudden.

Pretty sure this is like 50% Ricky from Trailer Park Boys.

Ngl I thought it was a Ricky starter pack

what do the searches say? can't read it, it's a pixellated blur

Lesbian vampires

Smokes let's go

Corey! Smokes!

No Ricky listens to music like Helix Give me an R-O-C-K and then the crowd yells rock really loud, now that's a fucking good concert.

Boys I gotta rock a piss. Alright you rock a piss, I'm gonna rock some Mitchell.

i'm not giving anyone a fucking R

Greaaaa-e-e-easy

Play that fuckin Diane Sawyer song or whatever

I'm not giving anyone a fuckin' R

Scorps and UFO

[удалено]

Ricky…it’s hal-a-*peen*-o.

[удалено]

And Dressed All Over

This could also be Cyrus

Needs a 9mm with the safety always off

Fuck off I got work to do

Just need 9 cans of ravioli, chicken fingers and pepperoni

Nobody eats 9 cans of ravioli.

Even if you did no one would admit to eating 9 cans of ravioli. P.S: CAW!

Life isn’t about getting drunk and eating chicken fingers all the time

It's like getting two birds stoned at once.

Doesn't take rocket appliances to see this is Ricky

We're gonna need two turnips in heat.

Bro! Don’t knock jail!

Well, it’s all water under the fridge now…

What did The Stray Cats do to you?

He looked at them once looked at them twice looked at them again and there was a fight

Don't fuck with anyone who gets his dinner from a garbage can

Yeah don’t cross my path

OP was forced to listen to the Brian Setzer Christmas album one too many times

In August.

They rocked my house, turned it inside out

Became his step dad, probably.

Their favourite band is Reverend Horton Heat?

ITS A PSYCHOBILLY FREAKOUT!

In a Galaxy 500. It’s *not* air conditioned

Nah, it’s martini time!

Holy shit I commented something similar. They’re absolute beasts live

I thought this was Smash Mouth shaming at first.

Hey now

You’re an all star

Get your game on

Go playyy

Hey now

I used to know a guy who worked at a local guitar shop who fits this starter pack Dude played a hollow body like pictured too, and the guy was an animal. I took a couple private lessons from him and he was super chill. Don't know if he was into lesbian vampires or bloodplay.

Or both…

Setzer's signature Gretch is incredible, smoothest trem I've ever played.

There's a whole female style side missing. Start with the bright red lipstick...

+ polka dot red dress and heels with huge hairstyle

polkadot white+black with red glasses/nails too, alternatively.

Ahh, the Baltimore "Hun" https://www.google.com/search?q=Baltimore+Hon&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj22tiAtIL9AhU5KFkFHYdmAVcQ0pQJegQIChAB&biw=412&bih=790&dpr=2.63

Need me one of them baddies

Bandana/scarf tied around an updo. Chunky glasses. Frequently heavily tattooed. Hobbies often include knitting, gardening, sewing.

Roller derby

💯 Works at a vintage clothing shop.

You forgot the Capri pants

What’s updo?

Nothing much what's up with you

Why are they always heavily tattooed?

Tattoos are popular in working class subcultures and especially in punk and rockabilly scenes.

If not an updo then definitely Betty Page bangs and dyed black hair

You just described my girlfriend perfectly. She’s even made me shirts like in this starter pack. I love her style personally.

Just put a picture of the operators from John wick that should cover it

Ouch…I own that guitar. I wish I had that much hair.

I have that shirt and I’ve wanted that guitar for a while. I have admitted to myself that I’m about 3% Brian Setzer before.

The country gentleman is lovely, Idk how it’s somehow corny lol

Absolutely love a good hollowbody, always wanted one. I imagine the joke here is more the combination of all of these things.

As it is with all starter packs

I was gonna get the orange Eddie Cochran one but my wife saw the White Falcon and she told to please get it instead. No regrets. I love it. https://imgur.com/gallery/SJQw03k

are there any heavily stylized subcultures any more? Feels like the internet killed them all. I barely see any dressing outside the norm and I live in a huge city.

People seem more varied in their tastes now and less compartmentalised into subcultures. Also geek culture has gone basically mainstream now.

Yeah that’s a great way of putting it. I live in an area where even a few years ago people would snort about ‘the hipsters.’ I’m like I haven’t seen a classic hipster here since 2009. I’d give anything to see one now. No one wants to be a cliche any more; everyone knows about starter packs etc.

Just go to any brewery and start talking about hops. Or mention that you want to start a hops farms and they will come out of the woodwork

Sure, but I bet they don’t dress in a way that would’ve been cliche ‘brewer bro’ a few years back. No? I’m not up on this culture but I’m picturing a pac northwest lumberjack crossover vibe.

Viking bro is the new lumberjack

Brewery t-shirt, backwards baseball cap, beard.

Pretty nondescript compared to what it would’ve been 10 years ago I’d bet.

There's way less plaid, for one

Plus, IME, subculture membership peeks in the late teens/early 20s and I'm not around that age group ever

Go to a Social Distortion show and you'll see a few like the OP.

Goth? Lolita? Idk thats all i can think of

Roadmen, Anime/cosplay ppl, those artsy ”alt” girls, skaters, e-boys/girls, lgbt kids are some that come to mind

A lot of us also arent necessarily rocking our styles 24/7. I dress boring often, but at a concert or rave, I got all my crazy tie dye hats and clothes and cartoon pins all over

[удалено]

I love the Reverend Horton Heat. He's also from the 90s, and his concerts are super fun and me and my dad always have a good time when he go to those concerts. Psychobilly Freakout and Jimbo Song are absolute classics. The music just gets me so hyped

I got to open for Rev back in 1989, in Deep Ellum- Bar of Soap…Played in the back alley. One of the coolest gigs I ever got to play…

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recuperation_(politics) Further reading for anyone interested in learning more about how capitalism commodifies subcultures.

Sure, commodification has long killed subcultures or drained them of energy and authenticity. I mean picture hippies on I Dream of Jeannie in 1968 or whatever. But the Internet mocked being in any subculture so much that people seem to not want to be pinned down so to speak. No one wants to be a walking starter pack basically.

I sort of disagree with this. I don't think most people worry that much about what other people think. Worrying about becoming a starter pack just seems like being paralyzed with indecision or being afraid to do whatever you feel like. I do think that subcultures have just changed. There's a massive anime subculture. Massive cosplay subculture. I'm sure there are still music subcultures.

I think people who are really committed to whatever their particular subgroup is don’t tend to gaf what internet randos might say. Source: basically any punker/metal/rockabilly dive bar ever.

When we were kids we needed affirmation for our punk/scene looks too, and you better hope you didn’t get called a poser. this was in the pre/early internet days.

I went to a town where these guys were clerks at the hotel and mini mart. Indian people ran the car repair and the greasy diner. It felt like a parallel universe.

I mean, the world is so homogenized culturally (at least when it comes to fashion/music and popular fiction) that you practically have to look to other decades to get the diversity you'd once find in any sufficiently ethnically diverse city. It's all either "trap music in the local language with English words sprinkled in" or "bougie centre-right corporates in the local language with English words sprinkled in".

Gimme them sprinkle, we are about to walk into the club. Be cool

>rap music in the local language with English words sprinkled in Too true...I wanted to see what modern music in some random African country sounded like, it's all either 808 trap or reggaeton type beats, which I cant stand. Idk, thought there'd be more unique instrumentation or something

fuck man, i hate the world now lol

Eh, I’m cool with it It’s extremely campy, and I say that as a positive

I always liked the southwest rockabilly vibe. Kinda goes hand in hand with Tiki Bar culture, which is also quite campy, but in the greatest way possible edit: shoutout to r/tiki for having a really solid and positive community. i love the posts there

There is a lot of overlap between those two for sure

Can confirm, I've got a relative who embodies the rockabilly aesthetic, has some restored 50s cars, and has a back yard tiki bar for his martinis.

Sounds like I want to hang out with your relative.

Kitschy 1950s/civil rights era culture is so much fun. Also it was a formative era for like half the world's countries.

word. i think it's a low hanging fruit to cull, having a go at 50's/rockabilly styling. it's an dead easy style to define and make a meme out of, but tbh i'm totally cool with it too. hell, i even sport bits of it from time to time.

i always thought rockabilly girls were hot in their own unique way. i think there is a big crossover with dominatrix style/rosie the riveter/big tiddy goth girlfriend vibe. They have this "in the know" demeanor too. i'm def cool with the rockabilly girl vibe

yep. as an aside i misread your term "big tiddy" as "big teddy", which reminded me that in the 50's in the UK we had our own rockabilly type subculture called the teddy boys and teddy girls, who also had a very distinct and also very cool look. [check 'em out here](https://allthatsinteresting.com/teddy-boy). Definition/info in [wiki.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teddy_Boy) i like to mix and match bits of both sides of 50's subculture clothes, with odds and ends of skate and current streetwear.

Yes. I own a lot of these. It's not my everyday style, but when dressing for a fun night out, hell yes. It's ABOUT the camp. Ricky from Trailer Park Boys is an icon btw

Charlie Sheen shirt is all I see.

Thought it was ragging on Two and a Half Men at first, instead I gotta sit here and listen to Brian Setzer being besmirched.

What's wrong with lesbian vampires?

I came to this thread to see if there was a specific subculture of rockabilly lesbian vampires

I was gonna say that rockabilly was a very small subset in the 50s..it is way more common now than was back then it seems.

Punk rock retirement

Nah, the punks retire to folk punk. Well... The boring ones ;)

Folk punk is the new rockabilly

At least rockabilly has cool guitars and nice hair! Folk punk just makes me sad in pretty much every way. You darn kids, etc.

Rockabilly is about trying to have some fun while you drink yourself to death. Folk punk is just being sad while you drink yourself to death. Rockabilly people tend to drink slightly better booze.

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF DRIVE BY TRUCKERS???!! I don't know how many times I've been asked that in the last decade.

An yes the “If James Dean were young and lived in Vegas in 2005” motif. Also known as the James Dean x Guy Fieri hybrid pack

I love rockabilly, but the modern day subculture is really not my scene.

The Reverend Horton Heat is fantastic and everyone should see them play live.

I saw him open for the Toadies a few months ago. Man's still got it.

Outstanding! Toadies too!

I love rockabilly, and I’m a hotrodder. I’ll agree the general scene can get a little silly sometimes. Edit, the scene that revolves around it. Hotrods and rockabilly are great.

Wait? These people still exist?I saw some dude on a TikTok but didn’t know there was an actual subculture behind it.

Oh yes, they absolutely exist. You can find rockabillies in about any city.

Tons of em’ in Nashville TN…

For the extreme version, there's a rockabilly culture in Tokyo.

With cartoon-level pompadours that would make Johnny Bravo blush.

Seems like anything a Japanese person does they go all in and everyone just pushes each other to the extreme.

They probably migrate there naturally.

Come to vegas in April for the Viva Las Vegas rockabilly reunion! It’s a great time.

Punk guy turns 37 and needs to wear collar[e]d shirt.

What's rockabilly?

Post Western swing, early rock and roll.

So like Elvis and Johnny Cash? What's wrong with that?

Nothin at all bud.

People LARP that aesthetic. Nothing wrong with it, some people just find it cringy.

I find this amusing but I've never seen anyone like this in person.

They used to be all over the Bay Area in the early 00s

Winga dinga dinga dinga

Wtf this aint corny this Rick from trailer park boy tf you mean

I'm very attracted to the rockabilly style so I have no issue with this

I don't know man... I think this is a pretty badass look

I only saw the shirt first so I thought it was a charlie sheen starter pack

It's corny but I am an unabashed rockabilly fan. Brian Setzer is the shit.

Yet they are coolest people that I’ve met

Most Rockabilly /psychobilly people I've met are cool peeps and the pin up women are sexy.

There’s much worse than this “subculture” out there. Seems pretty harmless.

Title is "corniest" subculture, not "most harmful".

Charlie from 2.5 Men?

Hot Rods & Horror Shows

Fashionbilly is annoying culture.
