Description

-Greasers are a youth subculture that emerged in the 1950s and early 1960s from predominantly working class and lower class teenagers and young adults in the United States.
-Ethnically, original greasers were composed mostly of Italian Americans in the Northeast and Mexican American Chicanos in the Southwest. Since both of these groups were mostly olive skinned, the "greaser" label assumed a quasi-racial status that implied an urban, ethnic, lower-class masculinity and delinquency.
-Greasers are usually known to be ignorant, dumb, selfish, and carless. That's what people think but in reality, they aren't different from us at all. The Socs look down at the Greasers as if they are useless trash humans.
-They commit petty crimes like stealing, and engage in your typical bad boy behavior: fighting, drinking, and smoking cigarettes.Mar 21, 2017
