To paraphrase Hank Hill...I love people with tattoos, it let’s you know who’s not right without even having to talk to them.

Rockabilly is really big in Europe, especially Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Check out the forum called “Rock City Boogie” forum. They go nuts about it and have a big annual 4 day festival called Blue Heaven.

All that said, I’m not really into the cult following of Betty Page, they seem to be real big into nostalgia like that and there is some woman up in the North West who really really looks like Betty Page,

It's like the Icelandic version of American Gothic.

I was stationed in Keflavik, Iceland back in the early 70s. Iceland is a desolate place. Icelanders no longer have the NATO base and the military personnel stationed there to keep them entertained. I guess immersing yourself in rockabilly probably makes life there more bearable.

Looks like pictures from early 1900s when people were told not to smile

They love as mentioned in the article Gene Vincent, I don’t think Gene ever took off like he did in England and the rest of Europe and Vincent and his guitarist, Cliff Gallup played great music.

Tintype photos had the sitter in position for a couple of minutes with a brace at the back of the neck. The exposure might be for only a couple of seconds but the wet plate process and camera adjustments would take a couple of minutes.
The sitter cannot hold a smile that long.

ROFLOL
Before I saw your post...
My first thought was that they looked like the result of a train wreck involving Lux Interior (RIP), Poison Ivy, and the Stray Cats.

Here's a rare shot of Lux and Ivy together in the early early 70s.
