Hi everybody ! As you can see in the title, this part will be about the Rockers, especially their history.


The Rock sub-culture originally started in the 50s (In 1954) with Elvis Presley who was just trying to have fun while singing. Rock'n'roll appeared at the same time (a few years after the USA) in the UK. This is the 1st kind of music which defined an age group. 


This group was a community of anti-authority motorcycle  riders. In the USA (and because Rock'n'roll have 'Rythm and Blues' influences (Black American music)) it helped to stop racism against Black American people (because both black and white enjoyed it). 


In the mid 60s, Rock'n'roll became 'Rock' and started to be very popular. 20 years after, in the 80s, the Rock was very popular so a lot of fake-fans who call themselves « Rockers », liked the music and the other Rockers stuffs because it was « cool ». 


Because of this, the Rockers community (the real remaining Rockers) became a very closed community. They were organizing reunions (motorcycle races, etc...) just for themselves.
