Rockabilly Meaning in English
word
Definition
A style of popular music from the 1950s that combines rock and roll with country (hillbilly) music. It is also linked to a retro fashion and culture.
Usage & Nuances
Mostly used as a noun, sometimes as an adjective ('rockabilly band', 'rockabilly style'). Refers to both music and a broader retro culture (clothes, hair, cars). Not slang, but informal and niche. Don't confuse with just 'rock' or 'country'—it's a specific blend.
