The Teddy girls aren’t quite as recognised or remembered compared to the Teddy boys back then and now. Sexist? Well not much has changed.

The Teddies originated from the working class areas and started to appear during the early 1950s. It was considered to be one of the first post – war youth subcultures created in Great Britain. Contrary to what people think this subculture was not influenced by Rock n Roll music but rather ‘born out of boredom.’ It was also a response to rejecting the austere approach of the post – war economy whilst keeping their interests in film, music and drinking. The boys and girls of this subculture were categorised and looked at differently. Boys were perceived as violent, rebellious and only looking for trouble whereas the girls roles were more focused around the home however they still wanted to express their own sense of style.
