Raggare
Raggare, what's that? This is Raggare:
Raggare love old American cars, they love James Dean, and most importantly they love to drink beer in their old cars and cruise down the boulevards. Raggare is an interesting subculture found mostly in Sweden and other Nordic countries. The cars are an important part of the subculture, especially V8-powered cars and other large cars from the across the pond. Popular sources of influence seem to be anything from the 1950's like rockabilly music and the clothes and hairstyle associated with this time period.
This collection of Raggare formed the night of August 11. Apparently there was a classic American car show that day in Stockholm (i was totally unaware). That night was cruise night, people lined Sveavägen for what I would think was Raggare heaven. Mind you there were normal people with their classic cars too, typically with well maintained, or restored cars. But every time you saw rolling wreck from the 50's, it was typically piloted by a Raggar. What a great night, and to think I stumbled upon this quite by accident.
