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!

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

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

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

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
