Wikipedia: Bobby soxer

Bobby soxer was a term coined in the 1940s to describe the overly zealous, usually teenage, fans of singer Frank Sinatra, who was the first singing teen idol. Typically, they would wear poodle skirts while rolling their socks down to ankle level.

Shirley Temple portrayed this type of impressionable adolescent in the 1947 film, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer.
