Not so much.
It began in the 80’s.
It took a long time to be one mainstream establishment like it is now.
I think it started with the “punk” scene. In the mid 70’s the UK instituted a requirement that you must be “looking for work” to stay on the dole and if you refused a job offer you’d get kicked off.
The trick was to look “freaky” enough that no one would want to hire you.
