That means culture is the way people act and behave after experiencing the way of living in their specific social class. We can consider that during their childhood working-class youths especially get to know all ideologies and values of working-class culture. That is very important in terms of forming groups and gangs where members have the same behaviour and values.

Furthermore A. Cohen utters "Menschliche Handlungsweisen hangen von der Art der Probleme ab, die jeder bewaltigen muß".(2) These problems differ from one class to the other, which means a person who lives in the working class has to deal with other problems than an upper class person.

Every society is built up of a variety of cult

The youths could get new influences on fashion and music from the newly invented mass communications and mass entertainment. TV, radio and the Press fed them with the latest inventions in fashion and informed them about the new record of a hip pop group. In their own little society teenagers declared for themselves which of these inventions were "really" hip to them and among these influences they began to form their own style.

One way of expressing a protest by the Rockers is their outward appearance. In society they were known as dirty, unfriendly chaps. They were often badly educated and therefore had no good jobs. That's why they could not afford to buy expensive and fashioned clothes which clearly distinguished them from the Mods' way of consuming and behaving. While other working-class citizens were all dressed "normal", the new Rocker-youths started to wear leather jackets and smeary jeans as their models Marlon Brando or James Dean did in the USA. The American Hells Angels also had a great influence on the young Rockers. Most jackets were decorated with iron rivets and buttons to make them look more dangerous. They had greasy hear and often wore a big curl. Girls also wore leather jackets and skirts and did not look less dangerous than their male pendants. A perfect Rocker also owned a motorbike and a girl friend. Whereas "owning a girl" mustn't be understood figuratively! The Rockers are a male dominated youth cult and girls are just seen as sexual objects. In contrast to the Rockers with a motorbike there also existed teenagers who could not afford to buy a motorbike but also identified themselves as Rockers. They were called the Greasers and had a very similar appearance to the Rockers. All in all you can say their extraordinary way of dressing was one way of expressing protest towards the society. The following picture of Marlon Brando shows a typical Rocker. A tough guy, dressed in leather standing nearby a motorbike. This picture is taken from the film "The Wild One" that also impressed many youths in that time.
