The teenage Rebellion occurred when the teenagers began to rebel against authority which was extremely different to the cultivated attitudes that teenagers had to adhere to during World War 2. Fashion drastically changed in the 50’s and the 80’s creating a very different style compared to what older generations had worn. Fashion today has been greatly impacted by the teenage rebellion and has notably contributed to Australia’s modern identity.
