The padlock necklace was first seen in the punk subculture by sid vicious who's girlfriend put a chain and lock around his neck then proceeded to throw away the key as a sign of sid belonging to her. It has then been passed along through communities based on it's overall coolness and trend in style.
Alex:" Oh you have a padlock necklace on?"
Dave:"yeah my girlfriend put it on me. She thought it would be really cool for us to do since we're both into punk rock"
Alex:"that's really cool man!"
