During an early town meeting, one of the more charismatic speakers introduces what he sees as the idealistic society to mold oneself after. There are no actual recordings of the initial speech, the initial "birth of the caveteen movement," exists, but the speech was reconstructed by talking to several of the original caveteens. It went as follows: 

The caveteens lived their lives in a different century. They wore loincloths, carried around clubs, beat on cowhide drums. 

The caveteens that stayed together for the next ten years developed a tightly knit community, consisting of caveteen clubs, caveteen music, and caveteen art. Other "subculture" groups were interested in certain aspects of caveteen behaviour, but not others. There were many crossovers. Caveteen rockers often drove around on their motorcycles and listened to Elvis Presley by day, and went to caveteen clubs in the evening. Some of the rocker boys began to paint bones onto their leather jackets to symbolize their unity with the caveteens.

At first, there was little actual cross-over between the Mod world and the caveteen world. "Caveteen one day. Mod the next," is how many of the early mod-caveteens are described. It was a world of black and white, with no shades or gray. By the end of 1967, the line started to blur. Kids began showing up at Kinks shows on their Lambrettas, wearing nothing but loincloths. People were also seen at caveteen clubs wearing three button suits, drinking stout, and saying "ugh." One of the most torrid and public love affairs of the 1960s, Larry Page of the Cliques met his future wife at a caveteen club. They talked for a bit, and then Larry clubbed young Teri over the head, and took her home. It was love at first sight. 

Many hippies also embraced the caveteen movement. "Natural objects," they often said "is more beautiful than those that are factory made." The hippies also enjoyed the rhythmic drumming that was often part of pure caveteen music. In fact, modern day drum circles are a remnant of the caveteen influence on hippie culture.

Mod-caveteen music became an art form in itself. It expressed how alive the caveteens felt. 

In the summer of 1987, one of the largest mod-caveteen music producers visited San Francisco. Richard Dredge introduced the newest, hippest caveteen music to several DJs, realizing that the San Francisco kids might be ready for the moving vocals, the pleads for a simpler way of life. One of the California DJs, Jimmy Redders, knowing that his listeners weren't ready for this kind of music, said, "This is brilliant, man. But, right now I think that people wouldn't listen to it. Everyday people aren't ready for the caveteen explosion, brother. Maybe I'll give it a go in a few years." Jimmy thought that the grunge scene wouldn't be popular either, and was later fired from his radio station in 1992, for lack of taste. The only air play that caveteen music got was on Rodney Binginheimer's  show on Los Angeles' KROQ radio station.

Caveteen culture influenced many bands in the 1980s. The Primitives are the most well known caveteen influenced band from the era. After their early demos, the discarded the caveteen mode of dress and most of the created rhythm work, but kept their caveteen influenced name. The "Modern Primitive" sub-culture is also heavily caveteen influenced. Many Modern Primitives, who are a form of modern caveteen, pierce themselves in order to express their discomfort with living in a culture that has so many restrictions. Many Modern Primitives still use actual bones to pierce themselves.

Two men in their early twenties appeared at Pop Scene in San Francisco, a popular club that played both Mod and Britpop music. One of the men was dressed in a tan three button suit, and had what appeared to be a mop of brown hair. The tan clad man also had a medium length beard that somewhat resembled Abraham Lincoln?s facial hair. The second man is Leroy Caveteen himself. Leroy fswas wearing a fine gray suit, and had bones in his hair. Leroy, living in his fantasy world, thought that San Francisco was ready for the caveteen experience. Leroy and his "caveteen experience" didn?t catch on in San Francisco.

The caveteen movement meets every Friday night.
