The rebellious rise of punk saw Creepers on the feet of some of the scene’s most independent–minded individuals. The Creeper stayed popular as new wave took hold.

The style was documented by Ken Russell in a June 1955 series of Picture Post photographs titled "Teddy Girls". Russell noted that the female counterpart of the Teddy Boy subculture was overlooked, saying: "No one paid much attention to the teddy girls before I did them, though there was plenty on teddy boys."

In 1953, a sweeping trend in fashion took over Britain's teen boys.

Even if the Beatles adopted some of the Ted style, the fondness didn't go both ways. By the time the Beatles were making radio waves, the Teddy Boy subculture of the 1950s was no more. Not that they would have appreciated it. Longtime Ted and revivalist William Jeffrey Jr. said, "We bloody loathed the Beatles. They absolutely murdered all the originals—Carl Perkins' 'Matchbox,' 'Long Tall Sally,' the rest. We remembered how much better the originals were." Ted's Dead

The Teddy Girls' choices of clothes were not intended strictly for aesthetic effect; these girls were collectively rejecting post-war austerity. They were young working-class women from the poorer districts of London. They would typically leave school at the age of 14 or 15 and work in factories or offices. [18] Teddy Girls spent much of their free time buying or making their trademark clothes. Their style originated from a head-turning, fastidious style from the fashion houses, which had launched haute-couture clothing lines recalling the Edwardian era. [19] "It was our fashion and we made it up," declared one "Judie", [20] succinctly writing the mantra of the Teddy Girl ethos. The Teddy boy was more than just a fashion. He also had symbolic significance. The Teddy boy was often portrayed as the figurehead of a broader explosion of youth culture during the 1950s that was predicated on working-class kids’ increased spending-power and the attendant rise of a vast commercial market geared to their tastes and interests. But the Teddy boy also became a symbolic focus for the social anxieties these changes often provoked. Hence, Teddy boys served as the bête noir of 1950s Britain, and were widely cited as both the perpetrators of a new wave of violent crime and as a benchmark of the nation’s wider cultural dissipation. One church worker described the guests as ‘the nicest young folk you could hope to meet.’ Indeed, the Teddy Boys helped to hand round tea and cakes, applauded the church singers, and offered their seats to those in need.
