It has developed into a pretty defined sub-culture. Guys wear a lot of cuffed jeans and pompadours with work jackets, t-shirts, vintage and western. Gals seem to all have bangs and too many try to look like Bettie Page. Lots of tattoos now a days too. Many 'billies are fully sleeved. That's a lot of where tiki comes in. Lots of tiki tatts. It's hard to describe exactly, but if you ever go to a well attended show or event, you'll understand all. Unless you go to psychobilly show by mistake... Tool around http://www.PlanetRockabilly.com maybe too. It's that subculture where you get a lot of grease under your nails, Murrays, Royal Crown and Valvoline...
