Re: 101 ways to be a Skinhead
Punk is the popular thing kids hinge on nowadays.
Have you seen american history x ?
If not, do so. It'll give you a decent idea of what skinheads are.

Re: 101 ways to be a Skinhead
Typhoid, I wouldn't go around throwing the term Skinhead to describe those who are "Punk". A skinhead is a vehement and violent racist who puts violence and rhetoric before logic and reason. They shave their heads, are neo-fascists and walk around in groups generally to intimidate anyone who is not exactly like them both racially and socially.
Like Seth pointed out, watch American History X. Then maybe the "punk" youth of today won't be so quick to adopt such an offensive moniker.

Re: 101 ways to be a Skinhead
Yeah, I always associated 'skinhead' with the hateful group Strangler describes, as do most people. This new breed of punk needs to find a different name because 'skinhead' is already taken.

Actually, you are incorrect. The punks had the moniker first, the racists just decided that they liked it. Here is a quote and an article about it.
In Britain in the late 1960s there existed a youth sub-culture known as Mods. A lot of the tough Mods began to cut their hair close to the scalp, both as a fashion statement and due to the fact that it kept their hair out of their faces and made it impossible to grab during a fight.
These kids were also a major part of football hooliganism, which is an unfortunate tradition that still exists in Britain today. Each week fans donned the colours of their team and rooted and cheered until their faces turned blue. They also consumed a tremendous amount of alcohol. The highlight of every match was the brawl. The fights often would pour out into the streets and would involve chains, boots, fists, and anything else they could get their hands on. To relax, these same thugs would dress in the best threads that their blue-collar pay cheques could get them, and go and dance, party, and drink all night with the relatively large Jamaican immigrant population and the music they brought with them - ska.
So, at the beginning, skinheads were not racist.

I stand corrected, you'll have to excuse my simple minded-ness. I guess a lesson I've learned is not to just assume things as factual that you hear from word of mouth. Thanks for digging the tunnel truth for me. From hear on out, my journey will be much better.

Dont tell me to go watch my favourite movie. I love that movie.
It was on someones profile page, this person describes himself as a punk. P-U-N-K.
I wasnt "throwing" it around. I was trying to simplify it for the people who dont know. And I think I did a good job at it myself.
And I wasnt using the term "Skinhead" to describe the peoiple wo are "punk" i was using "punk" to describe the people who are "skinheads".
Big Difference.
