Not an unreasonable assumption.
That or he's a die hard fan, really into that subculture.
That's fair. I wasn't in a psychobilly band, but I tried for a similar cut (no where near as sculpted as his, or other psychobilly bands haha) when playing in a punk band. I did (and still do) like my psychobilly though.
Japan, more specifically, the Harajuku district of Tokyo, has a number of ... very aesthetically bold subcultures, which certain people take extremely seriously.
One of which is basically exagerated 1950s American Rockabilly.

A good number of these guys are in actual Rockabilly bands.
I dunno if this guy's PS1 blocky haircut really fits into an existing subculture, or if it is a joke off of this subculture... or if it is totally unrelated to all that...
But there actually are a good number of very dedicated aesthetic subcultures in the Harajuku district, Rockabilly is one... the 'gothic lolita' style almost certainly came out of Harajuku... there are many other niche identity/aesthetic/lifestyle cliques.
That is what I was referring to, not just... psycho/rockabilly generally around the world.
Ah yeah, I've seen pics of those subcultures before. I know they like their motorcycles, but does that group also drive those crazy looking cars with the huge exhausts. Bosozoku or something like that?
That... the wild motorcycles... may be a subgroup of the rockabilly group, or another group?
I am not sure lol.
