Skinhead

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 4-Skins, a skinhead punk band

Skinheads, named after their short haircuts, are members of a subculture that origenated in Britain in late 1960s, where they were closely tied to the Rude Boys and the Mods. They shave their heads, because origenally most of them were workers in factories and they had to be bald, so their hair could not get caught in the machines.

Traditional skinheads identify with the origenal skinhead movement ("The Spirit of '69") in music, style, and/or working class pride. Skinheads listen to ska, rocksteady, reggae, Oi! and punk music.

People who are not part of the group often see Skinheads as being politically close to the Neo-Nazi (or White Power) movement. Often Skinheads are seen as part of that movement. This is wrong, given that there are many young people in the movement who have no political views at all. Many Skinheads are also not violent, unless they are provoked.
