    As long as you're not drinking, smoking, or doing other age-inappropriate things, you can be a kid greaser. Usually greasers are teens (as shown in the book The Outsiders, where two rival groups of teen gangs compete and fight with each other), but kids can dress like greasers too.

    No, they are two different gangs. Bikers have beards and mustaches and ride around on motorcycles. They work hard to keep them polished and there are even bars and clubs for them. But for greasers, greasers are just a bunch of slick haired gangsters who do anything they want and stand up for each other.
