This is fascinating. I'm always interested in how subgroups like this become so niche and specific (the dress code seems like it was very specific) and also how youthful self-expression (as a kind of anti-establishment thing) has changed over the years. I can't imagine any 17-20 year old dressing and acting this way nowadays, haha!

17-20 year olds are constantly getting into fights with fascists, and all power to them!

It is always fascinates to me how subcultures form into a constellations of political attitudes juxtaposed with specific fashion and musical tastes. Which comes first?

Today, listening to e.g. certain punk music can be a gateway to antifa ideologies, and I guess back then it was the same, except jazzier

I wonder if there was a relationship or influence with Zoot Suits later?

The article says zoot suits came first but doesn't mention whether they influenced the zazous
