Skinhead
Skinheads, named for their close-cropped or
shaven heads, are a
working-class subculture that originated in the
United Kingdom in the late 1960s, and then spread to other parts of the world. The first skinheads were greatly influenced by
West Indian rude boys and
British mods, in terms of
fashion,
music and
lifestyle. Originally, the skinhead subculture was primarily based on those elements, not
politics or
race. Since then, however, attitudes toward race and politics have become factors in where skinheads align themselves. The political spectrum within the skinhead scene ranges from the
far right to the
far left, although many skinheads remain apolitical. Fashion-wise, skinheads range from a clean-cut 1960s mod-influenced style to less-strict
punk- and
hardcore-influenced styles.
