Punk in 1961 ??
You got me curious, since I just posted it with the caption I found it with (and which most Reverse Image searches show for it), so I looked it up - someone suggested that the proper term would have been un blouson noir.
ah, they‘re like Teddy Boys
Google Lens found this: https://www.mediastorehouse.com/agence-france-presse-afp/vintage-archive/people-louis-armstrong-1901-1971/louis-armstrong-fan-head-signing-15389046.html
Photo is attributed to the Agence France-Presse, no mention of punk, just a fan. 'Punk' seems like a later addition to the description.
