“The racist skinhead movement in the United States has entered its fourth decade. Since the first skinhead gangs surfaced in Texas and the Midwest in the early 1980s, this racist and violent subculture has established itself in dozens of states from coast to coast and has authored some of the country’s most vicious hate crimes in memory, from arson to assault to murder. The racist skinheads’ trademark style — shaved head, combat boots, bomber jacket, neo-Nazi and white power tattoos — has become a fixture in American culture.”
You’re talking about the 80s. Skinheads are from the 60s, and also not from the United States. Like I said, nazis co-opted the look, but it didn’t start with them.
I keep mine sheared most of the time. Skinheads are a Nazi offshoot fyi
Skinheads are not a nazi offshoot fyi.
Not going to argue that nazis have co-opted the shaved head thing, but the actual skinheads would happily beat the shit out of a nazi any day.
OK, Nazi sympathizers then. Pulled from the SPLC:
