What is Skin Head?
1.
Skinheads first started to appear durring the late 60's in England. Skinheads were an off shoot to the mods and football(soccer)holligans called "boot boys". they took great pride in their dress and a proper skinhead could be seen wearing a button down brutus, ben sherman or any proper shirt. braces(suspenders, not the fat hillbilly grandpa kind but thin)a levi jacket or an american flight jacket. levi staprest trousers, blue jeans and sometimes cammo pants, allthough the combat trousers were not worn until the revival and the comming of punk rock.Fred Perry polo shirts are also very popular with skinheads as are V neck sweaters and vests. music listened to by skinheads from the 60's to 70's could consist of reggae, ska, soul, glam such as slade, mott the hoople, small faces. With the punk scene in the 70's came a rebirth of the skins allthough this time the look was exageated a bit, boots were higher and bleached jeans and combat fatigues could be seen worn by the new breed. During this time a right wing political group known as the National Front (NF)started using skinheads as pawns (polititians both right and left have tried using the scene for their own gain). there were many punk bands that were being followed by the skins, notably bad manners (ska) sham 69, Skrewdriver( before the nazi days)angelic upstarts.Shortly a new breed of punk music was born thanks to bands like the cockney rejects, this music was called "OI!", notable oi! bands are; the 4skins, last resort, snix, early skrewdriver, red alert.

skinheads are NOT NAZIS!!!! naziskins are called boneheads. skinheads are people who take pride in their working class heritage and often listen to oi, reggae, or ska. The Skinhead culture began in Jamaica, and was very closely tied to the Rude Boy culture. Some of the original Rude boys were also considered the original Skinheads.
WOW! That skinhead is not racist!

Originally a person who stressed unity.
Responsible for the culmination of Punk and Ska in the late 70's.(Punk a "white" music and Ska a "black" music. The icon of the new genre being a black and white checker board pattern to show racial unity).
Or
A bunch of ill informed trendy racists.

a simple creature that has evolved from the punk-rocker, they are just as violent as their closely related nazi skin head but unlike nazi skin heads they show no hate to groups of people such a jew, homosexuals etc... the skin head usually move in packs and are quit noticeable in one of their favorite activities moshing. Skin heads are also known for their displays of anger, one of these is "Curbing" this form of implement that is done by making some person (usually who pissed the skinhead off) bite down on the sidewalk curb then kicking them in the back of the head witch makes the person's teeth to shatter on the side walk, this is very painful but rarely done.
That stupid skin head said he would curb me if i didn't stop hitting him in the mosh pit.
