I was born and raised in the US (Chicago), and I didn't know about sharpie subculture until I was an adult (I was just a toddler in the 1970s)... It has got to be one of the coolest subcultures I've ever learned about! AC/DC was always huge in the US, but listening to Lobby Loyde & the Coloured Balls, Daddy Cool, and many other Aussie bands from that era makes me wish that these bands were as well-known in the States as AC/DC was, and still is, and that sharpie subculture would've spread to the US, the way punk rock did! Sharpies were way more bad-ass than punk rockers for sure...and I'm into all kinds of different music genres, but the US sure missed out on a seemingly very awesome subculture!
