Bodgies and widgies

Bodgies and widgies were groups of young people in Australia in the 1950s who liked to dress in a certain way and listen to a specific kind of music. Bodgies were boys who wore tight pants, slicked-back hair, and leather jackets. Widgies were girls who wore poodle skirts, tight sweaters, and lots of makeup.

Bodgies and widgies liked to hang out together and listen to rock and roll music. This made them different from older people because they liked a new and exciting kind of music that older people didn't really understand.

Some grown-ups didn't like bodgies and widgies because they thought they were rebellious and didn't respect authority. But bodgies and widgies just liked to have fun and express themselves through their clothes and music.

Nowadays, some people still like to dress like bodgies and widgies or listen to rock and roll music from the 1950s. They might go to parties or music festivals where they can dance and have fun with other people who like the same things.
