There is a Japanese scholar Koji Namba who wrote a whole paper on the topic. In short, -kei came much later and reflects a more simple consumer choice of what style to adopt. -zoku means you are a member of a "tribe," nominally with different values.

"Do you still see good ol’ fashioned bosozoku around Kanto?" I don't even have any memory of bosozoku in Kyoto over the past year, although I saw/heard them kind of a lot back in 2002-4. They were always going back and forth on Marutamachi. I remember you told me about this at the party last month and I’m glad to see you posted it.

I like this stuff better than his fiction (well, aside from the shoji scene anyway).

In terms of general social impact, you probably cannot separate the film and book. Looking from a fashion angle, it was clearly the movie that had the impact since film is visual.
