Skinhead Inspiration

On her MySpace page, ‘Nausea’ delivers a lengthy and detailed piece on the Skinhead movement, its roots, its evolution and the subcutlure around it. She introduces her analysis by saying:

Skinheads, named after their cropped or shaven heads, are members of a working class subculture that originated in Britain in the 1960s, where they were heavily influenced by the rude boys of the West Indies and the mods of the UK.

In subsequent decades, the skinhead subculture spread to other parts of Europe, North America and other continents. Politically, skinheads range from far-right and racist to far-left and anti-fascist; and everything in between (including apolitical). Fashion-wise, they range from a more cleancut mod-influenced 1960s style to less-strict punk- and hardcore-influenced styles.
