Skinhead is a subculture that started with the arrival of Jamaican immigrants to working-class neighborhoods in England in the late 1960s. White working-class kids loved the lively reggae music brought by the Jamaican kids. They often shaved their heads and dressed in their working-class style of bluejeans, doc marten boots, and braces (thin suspenders) They enjoyed going to reggae gigs with the black Jamaican kids and skanked together to the reggae music.

There was and still is no racism involved. Skinheads got their name because of their shaved heads. They were originally also called lemonheads, eggheads, suedeheads, and other names. However, skinhead ultimately stuck. Not to be confused with "boneheads" who dress similar but unlike skinheads, boneheads are racist neonazis that are not welcomed in the skinhead community.

A member of any race who shaves their head bald to signify unity (usually among the lower class). Most are not racist, and mainly target law enforcement. Most people think of white supremacists hanging black men from trees when they hear "skinhead", but that's a contradiction to it's real meaning (just like the "swastika" - symbol of peace in many different cultures).

Skinhead

A member of the greatest youth culture in world history. Working class individuals who who have pride in their heritage, Country and self. Skinheads have a regimented style of dress that they use as a signifier of both their brotherhood and solidarity with other Skinheads, though it must be noted that any person who puts the fashion style before the outlook/way of life is not a Skinhead but a gimp who should be slapped. Over the years many rediculous attempts to insert bogus values and ideologies have resulted in such psuedo Skinhead (hippie) groups as RASH ("red anarchistador skinheads" also known simply as "the fags") S.H.A.R.P (skinheads against racial prejudice-also known simply as the "ass kissers") GASH (gay aryan skinheads-also known as a complete joke) all three of which have attached themselves to a group of hippie anarchists known around the world as Antifa.

A person with a shaved head, shined boots, and sticks up for there beliefs. There are mainly two types of skins that ive seen. SHARP and Neonazi (also tradition and gay ones but i havent seen any like that). Neonazi skins are the real things while sharp "skins" are wannabe skins without accepting the ideology. Skins also work hand in hand with the Klan. We are not brainwashed herds like most of you.

A White country male who is having sexual relations with a relative, such as a cousin or sister.

Originating in England rep. the working class man whom became strongly racist due to the cheap labour provided by slave traders who were stealing white, working class jobs.

1. Nazi (also thought to have possibly come from the nazi culture due to fashionably short cut hair)
2. White male, poorly dressed, with short cut hair, who is a member of a racist group (coming from 1. nazi's who were heavily involved in racism)
3. One who likes punk music (not related to nazism or racism with the acception of white trailer trash whom are)
4. One whoms hair is short cut (Relating to 1. and 2.)
5. One who enjoys listening to heavy metal and is generally involved in racism.

A movement started in Britain in the 60s when the mod scene met the hippy scene. The mod scene split, and the "hard mods", the ones who hated hippies, got harder. With a little influence from Jamacian rudeboys, the skinhead was born out of the hard mod. Most of the music was held over from the mod days, but there were ska and reggae imported from the rude boys.

In the 70s, many punk-rockers became Skinhead, Skrewdriver among them, and brought Oi! and RAC into the scene.

Skinheads represent the working class, and fight with honor.

There are 4 main types of Skinheads:

Traditional Skinheads (Rejects all politics and labels)

Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP) Anti-racist Skinheads

White Power/National Socialist(Neo-Nazi) Racist Skinheads

Red Anarchistic Skinheads (RASH)
Communist Skinheads

There's also GASH (Gay Aryan Skinheads), but they're just a joke.

The general "uniform" of the Skinheads are flight jackets, Fred Perry's/polo shirts/dress shirts, Levi 501s/tight jeans, steelcap combat boots (Doc Martens, Gripfasts, and others), and either shaved head or close-cut hair. Sideburns are common.

Generally, skinheads reject hard drugs, although drinking and smoking are common.

Skinheads love to go out drinking with the boys, get rowdy, and kick a few skulls in.

Skinheads work for a honest, working-class living with their own sweat and blood.

Oi, Oi, Oi!

One who shaves his head, wears boots, and represents the working-class. There are three variations of skinhead. Traditional, Racist, Anti-Racist.

A guy or girl who believes in working class values and respects those who share the same beliefs. Not all skinheads have shaved heads, wear suspenders or wear boots, but these are good signs. Not all skinheads are racist, but unfortunately some are. They are "boneheads" to the rest of the skinhead world because of the blemish they have put on a proud group of working class kids. Skinheads are of every race, every religion, because it's not who you are, what race you are or any external factor. It's what is in your heart. Traditional skins look to their english and jamaican roots for their lifestyle and thier music (oi, punk, ska, reggae, rockabilly). SHARP (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice) skins are the democrats of the skinhead world, accepting all and defending thir way of life. A skinhead friend of mine once told me that he only fights for 3 things: his family, his friends and his honor. This is what is important to skinheads, not "protecting the white race" or to carry out Hilter's unfinished work.

It's something you are. It's not a style. It's not a fad. It's a way of life. Skinheads will live on as long as there fat cats in power who don't give a sh#t about the youth of today. We're proud, we're pi$$ed and we're here to stay.
