rude girl
Ill-mannered young woman
A rude girl is a female fan or participant in ska and reggae culture, the counterpart to a rude boy.
The term originated in 1960s Jamaica alongside the music and its associated street style.
Rude girls embrace the aesthetic—porkpie hats, braces, sharp mod-influenced fashion—and the rebellious attitude the subculture represents: She showed up dressed like a proper rude girl.
