The rudeboys were the rejection of the rockers because they didnt want to be part of that scene during the 60's.

The most important thing is their love of 2nd wave ska, known as 2 tone (record label with the Specials).

Often confused (ignorantly) with chavs. Rudeboy clothing is smart and respectable, and is now crossed with mod clothing.

They aren't gangster, either.

Get the rudeboy mug.
In Australia, Rudeboys were defined by flat top haircuts, red polo shirts buttoned right up, and Doc Martin boots. They loved ska music, fighting and driving Minis.
Circa 1083: Did you see Drew's flat-top haircut? And why's his shirt buttoned up, it's bloody hot today.
Haven't you heard of rudeboys?

IN LONDON:

A person, or gang of persons, who conviently live close to the american school in london and mug anyone they see from there. They are also known for the loud hanging out at starbucks when their school lets out and are know to clutter the Hampstead High Street at aprox. 4:30 - 6:30.

If you see one of these ppl and are a male - run away - they will chase and mug u, but try to avoid this. if of the female variety and the gang are male be sure u are not wearing a skirt and anything revealing as this will lead to annoying abuse and comments. girls will also tend to annoy.
