Marc Jacobs Tribes: Greasers and Pin-Ups in East LA

We are proud to present Tribes, a series of films in collaboration with Marc Jacobs. Combining fashion with documentary storytelling, these videos explore three different subcultures who represent rebellion and self-expression without consideration of social expectations.

Glad to see this type of culture is still alive in some places greasers and pinups are awesome! love the 50s and 60s wish I could of seen what they was like :)

[@baylovesoldbooks3977]

if i saw them riding down a street i think i would be delighted

[@anelbre0904]

Me too! So awesome!

[@jorgeo.e3211]

Pretty cool... The guys look clean and classy and the girls just beautiful ...

[@owenzysk5126]

These ain’t greasers

[@jiggyjay9262]

We need a longer video!! So beautiful 😍

[@musicman1977]

They definitely are into the old 50s scene but they’re not all out rockabilly in appearance. However ✋🏻 it’s in heart and soul. With punk and metal same thing: don’t need to have spiky hair or long hair, the music is what it’s all about. Rockabilly/rock n roll, punk and metal for life. Rock n roll family tree to the fullest.

[@AjcVegasdoe]

Love the lifestyle !Family is what I see !100%..Much love from Las Vegas Nv..peace!

You Kats & Kittens 🐈‍⬛ are the Most 🥰to bad this wasn’t longer 😳glad it show up! Little late(9yr) but still Kool ☺️Hope to see you at Viva 🎉😬

[@user-bd3bo6tu8y]

nice to see a video that respects a culture and doesn't appropriate it

[@ghostrider2664]

Well Heck Seriously? It's a Marc Jacobs ad. Utter exploitation for profit. lol

[@barnesheasman6710]

How can you appropriate a subculture? It has no ethnic background. Most greasers were of southern european (Italian, spanish) background or were latino. Even if it was ethnically exclusive, everyone in this video would fit into it.

[@28savage14]

Rockabilly is originally Anglo American zuit suits were not the same

[@ducky6623]

It is originally English, from England. The lifestyle came from Teddy Boys.

[@goliaboi]

those dudes are hot. should be in some mj ads

[@goliaboi]

ok let me clarify, they should be in the magazine ads

[@hernandezamanda7203]

How about we let people enjoy things :)

[@reddeadtv6569]

Now these aren't greasers, they're only rockabillies

[@aydenaplara2309]

You've got that right. Greasers and Rockabillies are two different things that are not to be mistaken

[@joejokool]

Chyyyyyyy ! ! :D lol

[@SergioVazquez-qo5ff]

Why is this so damn funny 😂😂😂

[@rvggarcon]

chic

[@HillbillyLeo]

Those guys are rockabilly? They look more like cheesy kids that got inspired by the movie grease.

[@melanieestrada2133]

And you have a KZbin username inspired by a famous Artist. What's your fucking point?

[@abes9981]

Melanie Estrada Leonard da Vinci is not just a simple artist..... you prove his point even more you Hipster

[@TiburcioVasquez213]

The girls look like pinups. The guys looked confused, they don't have the greaser down

[@lunababy1991]

Um i thought the Pachuco era was in the 40s and the greaser era was in the 50s. I may be wrong.

[@yesterdaysyouthdoc]

It’s cool they’re getting recognized Now but past generations had better style and were more authentic to Me lol

[@gavinbrackner8015]

2020 rockabilly revival

[@streamingkid3259]

Those aren't greasers, they are cornballs.

[@yairmartinez-garcia8530]

I'm rockabilly I'm wondering why they pomps so small

[@yairmartinez-garcia8530]

+Eric Hilton good observation I didn't realize until I started working it's best to have shorter hair but I still keep my hair long I posted this when I was younger

That one dude said he chooses it to honor his grandfather.. talk about not having a self identity

There Rock a Billy's not Greaser's

[@thatoneguy4150]

Rockabilly is a music genre

[@texaswwiiandmetaldetecting6600]

+Respectheculture more or less but I'm rockabilly.I use it in a way to describe myself.

[@thewanderingstraykat8983]

if they met the pompin greasers.then they would know what greasers really are

[@joshb7821]

The Wandering Stray Kat fuck them they only dress up for instagram 😂

[@aydenaplara2309]

@@joshb7821 dude a true greaser dresses that way everywhere they go, even at home. Anyone who's wearing it sometimes and calling themselves a greaser is just a poser.

[@andrewdamon4570]

Hipsters

[@knightmareking1342]

Its dope style but not my lifestyle and aint gonna false claim respect to the homies from Hells VK

[@jonbertocchi173]

So greasers and rockabilly are not same.. they need to remove greaser from the title.

[@bigstinky7671]

there outfits weren't looking right maybe or 2 3 nailed it but the rest look like hipsters

[@rockabillyrebel2937]

I agree

[@franciscavillareal5665]

you can find the chick with the short purple hair on IG instagram.com/misstwotonekay/ ..@misstwotonekay and on FB at facebook.com/pinup.kika.vi.lana .. Kika Vi Lana

[@dallasvillella416]

greasers.... ha!

[@34bully]

They look more like hipsters.

[@ducky6623]

there's a difference.

[@J_131]

Nah. I remember dudes dressing like this when I was a kid in the early 90s. Hipsters borrowed a lot of their styles from the Chicanos of East LA/Texas.

[@happymess3219]

😊 lol... sad...

[@daveyrivera6897]

To bad none of this way filmed in east la lol all in Burbank where the fake greasers are

[@doritos5709]

this guy's is socs

[@titofidelis]

Torta Billies ruined the scene

[@streamingkid3259]

I can tell this was all a cosplay

[@paulcorona642]

Its 2017 -__-

[@brick9233]

The hell these kids doing. I understand you like the style, but try and change the way it is as back in the 50’s and how it was. Just say you’re hipsters, that’s all.

[@rockabillyrebel2937]

I agree, they didn’t use skinny jeans back then and tuck them damn t shirts in the pants!

[@vinnieomahoney6359]

It all comes from hep cats, greasers were bikers, helps cats were slick sharpe dressers, nice cars, this to me is just wannabe jive bunnies playing dress up, look at the zoot suiters history, this is all mix and match, with lowriding thrown in.

[@gitfucked5242]

lol these look like a bunch of wannabe's

[@mikferrer8505]

rubbish....not even close to the old school

[@michaelrascon1604]

lmao so fake

[@mackboy2040]

Lol the only people that listen to "oldies" in the 50s were the old people who hate rock n roll and greasers. And greasers weren't as clean and generic as many would think. Posers
