1. greaser

   A greaser is typically referred to a subculture of individuals, often young working-class or lower-class males, who originated in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. They were known for their distinct style which included wearing leather jackets, white tees, denim jeans, and slicked back or greased hair, hence the term 'greaser.' The term could also refer to a person who works with machines and uses grease in their work. This definition is less common and mainly used in an industrial or mechanical context.

1. Greaser

   Greasers were a predominantly white ethnic youth subculture that originated in the 1950s among young northeastern and southern United States street gangs. The style and subculture then became popular among other types of people, as an expression of rebellion. In the 1950s and early 1960s, these youths were known as "hoods". The name "greaser" came from their greased-back hairstyle, which involved combing back hair with wax, gel, creams, tonics or pomade. The term "greaser" reappeared in later decades as part of a revival of 1950s popular culture. One of the first manifestations of this revival was a 1971 American 7 Up television commercial that featured a 1950s greaser saying "Hey remember me? I'm the teen angel." The music act Sha Na Na also played a major role in the revival. Although the greaser subculture was largely a North American youth phenomenon, there were similar subcultures in the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy and Sweden. The 1950s British equivalents were the ton-up boys, who evolved into the rockers in the 1960s. Members of rival subcultures in the UK, such as skinheads, sometimes referred to greasers simply as "grease". Unlike British rockers who were exclusively bikers, North American greasers were known more for their love of hot rod cars, not necessarily motorcycles, although both subcultures are known for being fans of 1950s rock'n'roll and rockabilly music.
