A skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in London, England in the 1960s and then soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom, and later to other countries around the world. Named for their close-cropped or shaven heads, the first skinheads were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle.[1] Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or race.[2] Since then, however, attitudes toward race and politics have become factors by which some skinheads align themselves. The political spectrum within the skinhead scene ranges from the far right to the far left, although many skinheads are apolitical.[citation needed] Fashion-wise, skinheads range from a clean-cut 1960s mod-influenced style to less-strict punk- and hardcore-influenced styles.

despite the common believes nazi-skins (or called "boneheads" by real skinheads) were never part of the skinhead culture. sadly this issue was communicated the wrong way by mass media since the 1980ies, when there were first recruitments of less intelligent skinheads for neonazi-hategroups. The term "skinhead" became a synonyme for neo-nazi very fast and sadly is used this way in mainstream society up till now.
Since the 80ies there are some groups of skinheads which actively trie to force fascism out of the skinhead culture. the most prominent of those are the SHARP-SKINS, named "Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice" and usualy found among Antifa-activists.
while the original music of the so called "mods", which where kind of the protoypes for the skinhead movement, was mostly roots-reagge, during the 60ies and the 70ies more modern dance influence was mixed into the music finally creating SKA/2-tone as the subcultures very own music.
here are some famous ska/2tone-tracks:

So you wear a greek helmet all the time?
mostly i wear the scalps of boneheads like you
no hair - no brain
Even better than hippies. Hippies = Drugs, shit clothes, gays, weaks.
Making love with the girls, not with the own hand like you.
Every normal boy make love with girls.... By the way, own hand is still better than make love with boys, as the hippies do. Oh, i almost forget that hippies are very stinky and wearing flower clothes = gays.
the trojan-helmet symbol stems probably from the most famous ska-label there is: http://www.trojanrecords.com/
I tought its Spartan, i just wanted to say that they would throw you down from a hill, but nevermind then 😃
i see, that's why the are extinct.
Everybody lives until there are people who remember them.
Btw hools dont wear lonsdale anymore. Lonsdale supports gays
I hear Consdaple is even better at not knowing what their letters can be used for : D
'Gay pornographer and film-maker Bruce LaBruce has one explanation. He claims that “all gay porn today is implicitly fascist. Fascism is in our bones, because it’s all about glorifying white male supremacy and fetishizing domination, cruelty, power and monstrous authority figures.”'
'Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell has a sensitive and intriguing explanation. “There are many reasons for this kind of thing,” he says. “Some of them are in denial. They are going for hyper-masculinity, the most extreme possible way of being a man. It’s a way of ostentatiously rejecting the perceived effeminacy of the homosexual ‘Other’. These troubled men have a simple belief in their minds: ‘Straight men are tough. Queers are weak. Therefore if I’m tough I can’t be queer.’ It’s a desperate way of proving their manhood.”'

..thats why i called your nazi-punk-song homoerotic, by the way. simply cause it is pretty gay 😃
pwned, haha
how much a man are you, magyarharcos1848? ahahahah 🙂
Only you can think of and find this kind of junk on the internet.
Fascism has nothing with white dominancy, your lack of knowledge is normal for commies.
I dont know about you, but believe me national radicals adore women.
ahaha, you gotta proof it to you and your folks again and again each day: "NO WE ARE NOT GAY. WE ARE TOUGH GUYS WHO ADORE WOMEN!"
you remind me so much of certain islamic radicals😁

most homophobic country in the world turns out to be also the highest ranked in google-gay-porn-searches.
coincidence?
ahahaha. no. it's the same pseudo-coincidence as that there are certainly more homosexual males among fascists groups than are among "normal" groups. simply cause there is a homosexual flair of manly power in the air - and some gays love that, cause nature made them so.
life and let life - poor harcos1848..
I must not prove anything, you brought in the gay porn theme.
You will marry your guy of love once, dont be so sad 😃
OMG, Kurt Tucholsky you are gay! ShaggBeKurt. Have you ever belonged to a "fascist group" or you just learn from the internet?
I wear LoNSDAle, so what : ) Death to nazis!
You wear bosnian burka. 😃
Yea, Lonsdale burka 😛
i also wear it 🙂
Skinheads ain't hippies and ain't nazis or punk kommies. I think its simple.
Just no hair, drink beer, football, wearing boots, bomber jacket, shirts (e.g. Ben Sherman, Fred Perry), and just feel good without drugs.
that would be in ideal definition but today and all the time of them, they are just racist, neo nazis, faschist and drug adicted jerks..
i hate everyone
and everyone hate you..
