When I say 'skinhead' the image that will pop into most people's minds might be something like the characters from American history X. You'll imagine shaved head white supremacists in black jackets and doc Martin shoes. They successfully stole the aesthetic of counter-culture and anti hierarchy to push a cultural orthodoxy and race and gender based hierarchy. The same as nazis using free speech as an excuse to spread ideas that lead to authoritarianism.
Skinhead - Wikipedia
The rise to prominence of skinheads came in two waves, with the first wave taking place in the late 1960s. The first skinheads were working class youths motivated by an expression of alternative values and working class pride, rejecting both the austerity and conservatism of the 1950s-early 1960s and the more middle class or bourgeois hippie movement and peace and love ethos of the mid to late 1960s. Skinheads were instead drawn towards more working class outsider subcultures, incorporating elements of early working class mod fashion and Jamaican music and fashion, especially from Jamaican rude boys.[1] In the earlier stages of the movement, a considerable overlap existed between early skinhead subculture, mod subculture, and the rude boy subculture found among Jamaican British and Jamaican immigrant youth, as these three groups interacted and fraternized with each other within the same working class and poor neighbourhoods in Britain.[2] As skinheads adopted elements of mod subculture and Jamaican British and Jamaican immigrant rude boy subculture, both first and second generation skins were influenced by the rhythms of ska, rocksteady, and reggae, as well as sometimes African-American soul and rhythm and blues.[2][3][4]
