The original Skinhead subculture emerged in working class Britain during the 1960s. molding aspects of Jamaican Ska and Reggae.
Skinheads again came to futher prominence during the 1970s in Britain. During a time of high unemployment . it split and mutated into many forms not least of which were Red & Anarchist Skins (RASH). new music genres, including Street-Punk, Two-Tone and Oi! grew out of this period.

However, groups like National Action became notorious for violent street protests, and fear of Neo-Nazi Boneheads prompted strongly negative reactions from the general public. Racialist and White Power groups spread to the United States.

As a reaction to the racialist stereotype and divisive opposition politics, a grass-roots movement called Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP) emerged during the late 1980s. SHARP argued that the racialists had fed members false history and used the subculture's aesthetics and personal identity for its own nefarious purposes.

this list is for those who have something to add to this from a queer perspective...are we "Trojan Skinheads" as some claim. whats queer/race/class mean to you? whats it mean to be a queer skin?

is it a fetish, a politic, a way of life?
