  As a non-british (normal) person, I appreciate Britain&apos;s ability to create endless subcultures every couple of years.

  back in the 90s I went to see a Two-tone band called Bad Manners. I was a preteen when Bad Manners were popular so I didn&apos;t realise that Bad Manners was a skinhead band. There I was, one black man surrounded by 500 skins. &nbsp;They were fine. No one threatened me with a stanley knife so that was a result.

  I loved my skinhead husband. He died less than a year ago at the end of 2023. When we would go to Oktoberfest every year guys who thought they were tuff took one look at my husband and were intimidated and hung their heads. 😊 He was racist growing up in Northern Cali but &nbsp;as he moved to Socal and was in contact with other races and cultures he left that scene. He married me, a native American women in 2017 we were both in our late 40,s grew up loving punk rock and scooters. He was my best friend and the love of my life ❤️. Thanks for your video.

  Now I&apos;m 54 and balding, I have to embrace the skinhead haircut I hated as a child. 😂

  People always think of skin heads be racists but not all skin head gangs are neo Nazis

  As a skinhead from 79 to 84 ,it was a turbulent time. &nbsp;Im definitely not racist but loved “uniform” and &nbsp;the energy of Oi music and still do.<br>My exceptionally shiny boots and cropped hair actually got me my first job and career. Though I can’t remember his name now, the area manager of Windshields Ltd , (now Autoglass) was in the shop when I turned up for a YOP placement,a work experience program. He told the manager to take me on as my appearance was immaculate. This was 1982 high unemployment, recession etc. I ended up staying for 11 years before moving to America and Safelite &nbsp; an international part of Autoglass. <br>I guess what I’m saying is never judge a book by its cover.(you’re not). Great video. Thank you.

  ok , So ... Skinhead myself and you have the very bare bones . It started out as mixing together in various factories and places of work and the white working class began to integrate with the people who had arrived on the Windrush . We all went to work wearing work boots and most wore braces to hold up our trousers . Everyone started to meet up at the Jamaican house parties . They dropped their braces and rolled up their jeans to dance , this is where the fashion began . They swapped music and over time it merged . side note .. The only place you would see a mod on a Vespa is in Quadraphenia 😅 .. The mods were also never wealthy 😂 , they were blue coller workers who scrimpt , saved and paid as they went for suits and shoes etc.. The whole idea was to be the peacock and have the latest , best or most flamboyant . They had nothing and wanted to feel like someone.

  I&apos;m an old man in New Mexico. Thank you for telling me what half the songs on my Specials and Madness albums were about.

  I was Skinhead growing up in London and I’m still Skinhead at heart today. Long live the spirit of 69. I’m half Scottish and half Jamaican and raised in London.
