Psychobilly manifested itself mostly in Leningrad at
the turn of the 90-s along with the bands “Swindlers” and “Meantraitors”, when groups
of young people styled this trend musically after they segregated from
rockabilly scene. But even before that there were individual characters, who stood
out from the bounds of new subcultural leagues and preferred poly-melomania with rock-n-roll
bias. In terms of the dresscode it was also close to punk aesthetics. So the
psychobilly-oriented gangs without having enough foreign information,
developed in its obligate evolutionary
course on the other side of the iron curtain being at the height of youth
fashion in the 90-s as well. In Moscow “psycho” was shared by even less
representatives of subcultures and hardly manifested itself in appearance, for
a long time being just a musical preference inside punk and rockabilly
circles.
