In England, during the '60's and perhaps even today, a "Teddy boy" was what they called their street punks. Pretty much like the street punks of the U.S. They're the ones with limited intelligence who have little to offer society and are generally so afraid of everything around them that they have to gang up with others of like mind in order to feel safe.

what a load of rubbish.

Teddy Boys was a fashion of the 1950's in the UK, and was a bastardised version of the edwardian styles earlier in the centuary.

The Teddy boy inmage was typicaly followed by the working class, and Rock n roll and Rockabilly was the music they listlened to.

Teddy boys all worked hard as the clothes they wore were expensive. The Drape Coat they wore had to be tailer made, and the Tony Curtis hair cut had to be cut regularly.

Yes the Teds got into fights, but what youth did not.
