Line 11:
In [[Real Life]], dreadlocks are most commonly associated with practitioners of the Rastafarian religious movement and, to a lesser degree, with Jamaicans and reggae musicians. Bob Marley is quite possibly the most famous dreadlocks wearer, as he was a devout Rastafarian.
 
The reasons for wearing of dreadlocks may vary across different groups, ranging from {{color|green|ddeep religious and spiritual conviction}} (as in the case of Rastafarians and some Hindus) to {{color|green|ssymbolism of rebellion against authority, especially that of the government-controlled type}} (as exemplified in Bob Marley's music, and explained above).
 
{{color|red|''Please note that for a character(s) to specifically qualify for this trope, just wearing dreadlocks is not enough. See the green text above.''}}

The trope name comes from a line in Bob Marley's 1983 song "Buffalo Soldier", which was released posthumously on the album ''Confrontation.''
