The Bowery Boys
The Bowery boys were a gang based north of the Five Points district of New York City in the mid 19th century. Their views were based on rebelling against what was expected of them as younger men (teenagers) and started their own views, style and interests as a group such as being anti-Catholic and anti-Irish. Their style dressed them in black stovepipe hats, red shirts, black flared trousers, high-heeled calfskin boots and black vests, with oil slicked hair which gave them a second name as 'Soaplocks'.
