Rocker-style youths existed in the 1950s, but were known as "ton-up boys" because doing a ton was English slang for driving at a speed of 100 mph (160 km/h) or over. The rockers or ton-up boys turned it into a lifestyle, dropping out of mainstream society and "rebelling at the points where their will crossed society's".
