Are you a skin head? Do you folow the 60's movement or the later punk rock movement?

Fascinating that it started as a sub culture in london joining working class with the youth of the windrish predominately jamaicans...

I was a teenager during the punk era and it was an exciting time. I like the music from both periods but the skinhead got taken over by nasty politics.

@SW-User its such a shame isnt it... its seems if ever theres a rise in multicultural peace someone wades in and smashes it to smitherines...

@Peppa It is, one of the best gigs I saw was the two tone package tour with The Specials, Selecter, and Madness. What a night!

Here's a skinhead favourite from the 60s

I don't follow "pop trends" and avoid anyone who does.

I have skin on my head and hair on my skin - I am a hair head

funny how that movement evolved into violent rascism

@DuchessOfMapleSyrup indeed, politicians have a way of swaying society, especially those in poverty

I, too, was surprised to learn how it started and the punk and white supremacist elements were small tangents splinters went off on

I'm undoubtedly a punk but not a skinhead. I couldn't ever be part of that movement because...well, I'm Romani. Meaning every skinhead in the world hates my guts and wants me dead lol
