Nozem

Nozems on a moped.

Nozem was the earliest modern Dutch subculture, related to the Teddy Boy movement in the UK and the greasers in the United States. It was followed by the Provos.

Nozems were young people who dressed in jeans and leather jackets, listened to rock 'n' roll, and gathered near snack bars on their mopeds. Their hairstyle was characterised by a styled, greased quiff.

The term "nozem" is believed to have been coined in 1955 by the Dutch journalist Jan Vrijman.
