I was born and raised in the US (Chicago), and I didn't know about sharpie subculture until I was an adult (I was just a toddler in the 1970s)... It has got to be one of the coolest subcultures I've ever learned about! AC/DC was always huge in the US, but listening to Lobby Loyde & the Coloured Balls, Daddy Cool, and many other Aussie bands from that era makes me wish that these bands were as well-known in the States as AC/DC was, and still is, and that sharpie subculture would've spread to the US, the way punk rock did! Sharpies were way more bad-ass than punk rockers for sure...and I'm into all kinds of different music genres, but the US sure missed out on a seemingly very awesome subculture!

So was a guy who later became police commissioner. Most sharps were not bad or even got into trouble. It was only a minority.

@@thespartan8476 Connie cardigans were the Sharpie must have garment. Cuban heels often hand made by Acropolis or Venus were similarly a must too. Sharpies looked "Sharp". Tight fitting jeans or striped pants, beret and a T shirt with either their location and name eg "PRESTON SHARPIES" or "Thomastown Sharps" etc . Or a music band or act.eg. BOWIE.......T REX. ......STATUS QUO.....BOWIE....SLADE etc etc Lobby Lloyde The Coloured Balls" were huge with Sharpies. Sharpie chicks wore overalls or high rise tight jeans or pinstripe tight flares. Beret. And a Connie. Berets and Connie's were popular on both especially berets on women & Connies on men.
