Askinheadis a member of a subculture which originated amongworking classyouths inLondon,England, in the 1960s and soon spread to other parts of theUnited Kingdom, with a second working class skinhead movement emerging worldwide in the late 1970s. Motivated bysocial alienationandworking class solidarity, skinheads (often shortened to \"skins\" in the UK) are defined by their close-cropped orshaven headsand working-class clothing such asDr. Martensandsteel toework boots,braces, high rise and varying length straight-legjeans, and button-down collar shirts, usually slim fitting in check or plain. The movement reached a peak during the 1960s, experienced a revival in the 1980s, and, since then, has endured in multiple contexts worldwide.The rise to prominence of skinheads came in two waves, with the first wave taking place in the late 1960s. The first skinheads were working class youths motivated by an expression ofalternative valuesand working class pride, rejecting both the austerity andconservatismof the 1950s-early 1960s and the moremiddle classorbourgeoishippie movementandpeace and loveethos of the mid to late 1960s. Skinheads were instead drawn towards more working class outsidersubcultures, incorporating elements of early working classmodfashion andJamaicanmusic and fashion, especially from Jamaicanrude boys.In the earlier stages of the movement, a considerable overlap existed between early skinhead subculture,mod subculture, and therude boy subculturefound amongJamaican BritishandJamaican immigrantyouth, as these three groups interacted and fraternized with each other within the same working class and poor neighborhoods in Britain.As skinheads adopted elements of mod subculture and Jamaican British and Jamaican immigrant rude boy subculture, both first and second generation skins were influenced by the rhythms ofska,rocksteady, andreggae, as well as sometimesAfrican-Americansoulandrhythm and blues.The late 1970s and early 1980s saw a revival of the skinhead subculture, and increasing interaction between its adherents and the newpunk movement.Oi!, a street-level working class offshoot ofpunk rock, became a vital component of skinhead culture while the Jamaican genres beloved by first generation skinheads were filtered through punk andnew wavein a style known as2 Tone. With these twin musical movements, the skinhead subculture diversified and contemporary skinhead fashions ranged from clean-cut 1960s mod- and rude boy-influenced styles to less-strictpunk-influenced styles.During the early 1980s, political affiliations grew in significance and split the subculture, distancing thefar rightandfar-leftstrands, although many skins described themselves asapolitical. As a pro-working class movement that was initially highly regionalised and excluded by society\'s moral norms, skinhead culture attracted those with nationalist beliefs, including violently racist orneo-Nazifringe elements.In Great Britain, the skinhead subculture became associated in the public eye with membership of groups such as theNational FrontandBritish Movement. By the 1990s,neo-Nazi skinheadmovements existed across all of Europe and North America, but were counterbalanced by the presence of groups such asSkinheads Against Racial Prejudicewhich sprung up in response. To this day, the skinhead subculture reflects a broad spectrum of political beliefs, even as many continue to embrace it as a largely apolitical working class movement.In the late 1950s the post-wareconomic boomled to an increase indisposable incomeamong many young people. Some of those youths spent that income on new fashions; they wore ripped clothes and would use pieces of material to patch them up popularised by Americansoulgroups, BritishR&Bbands, certain film actors, andCarnaby Streetclothing merchants.These youths became known asmods, a youth subculture noted for itsconsumerismand devotion to fashion, music, andscooters.Working class mods chose practical clothing styles that suited their lifestyle and employment circumstances: workbootsorarmy boots, straight-legjeansorSta-Presttrousers, button-down shirts and braces. When possible, these working class mods spent their money on suits and other sharp outfits to wear at dancehalls, where they enjoyedsoul,ska, androcksteadymusic.Around 1966, aschismdeveloped between thepeacock mods(also known assmooth mods), who were less violent and always wore the latest expensive clothes, and thehard mods(also known asgangmods,lemonheadsorpeanuts), who were identified by their shorter hair and more working class image.[11]Hard modsbecame commonly known as skinheads by about 1968.Their short hair may have come about for practical reasons, since long hair could be a liability in industrial jobs and streetfights. Skinheads may also have cut their hair short in defiance of the more middle classhippieculture.In addition to retaining many mod influences, early skinheads were very interested inJamaicanrude boystyles and culture, especially the music: ska, rocksteady, and earlyreggae(before thetemposlowed down and lyrics became focused on topics likeblack nationalismand theRastafari movement).Skinhead culture became so popular by 1969 that even the rock bandSladetemporarily adopted the look as a marketing strategy.The subculture gained wider notice because of a series of violent and sexually explicit novels byRichard Allen, notablySkinheadandSkinhead Escapes.Due to largescale British migration toPerth,Western Australia, many British youths in that city joined skinhead/sharpiesgangs in the late 1960s and developed their own Australian style.By the early 1970s, the skinhead subculture started to fade from popular culture, and some of the original skins dropped into new categories, such as thesuedeheads(defined by the ability to manipulate one\'s hair with a comb),smoothies(often with shoulder-length hairstyles), andbootboys(with mod-length hair; associated with gangs andfootball hooliganism).Some fashion trends returned to the mod roots, withbrogues,loafers, suits, and theslacks-and-sweaterlook making a comeback.
