Well yeah. Technically a skinhead is someone with a shaved head.

The ones I'm talking about usually just refer to themselves as "skins"

Skins refer to racist skins as "boneheads"

Don't EVER assume a skinhead is a bonehead. They'll kick the crap out of you. Immediately. Without hesitation.

Skins are very into punk rock. (Dropkick Murphys punk, not this Blink 182 ****. Call Blink punk, and they'll kick the crap out of you.) You'll often see them with "real" punks. (the ones with mohawks, leather jackets, and spikes everywhere.) Most skins are also very patriotic, both to the US and to their usually Irish descent. (Something about it seems to cause many, many skins to be Irish)

Skins like to drink and fight. It's just what they do. The violence doesn't help the stereotype, but it's part of their subculture.

And BBA, I've never seen a correlation with the Docs.

Right said, CHRYSt :tup: 'sides, punks like to beat down on skinheads hmmm... dropkick murphys.. I dont really like them, but I DO like Op IV and Crimpshrine and Screeching Weasel and lots of others. mainly bands that were on Lookout! Records when the company first started. And, LOL this kid at my school likes Fat Records, and he dresses punk, but then he started liking Sum41 and all this other Sh1t like blink, and he still calls himself punk. what an idiot.


[EDIT] BTW, most punks actually arent patriotic to the US, in fact they're -/-\-narchist

I occasionally work with a skinhead at work. Well he's got really, really fine short hair, but that's cause he buzzes it. So basically, he's a skinhead.

He's also one of the coolest guys I've ever met.

He's ALSO got a wife and a child. I've seen them meeting him at work. He's a normal guy (he bounces when he walks and he uses a lot of slang, but that doesn't make a difference really) with a normal life.

Then there was a black guy at work who since found a new job. But this guy was the "stereotypical" black guy: afro-headed, slang using, hip-hop type guy. He was also the funniest guy there. He's since found a new job but man he was cool too.

These guys are the nicest people I ever met and they were "stereotypical" people, so the news media can go choke on that for a while.

I vaguely remember something about colored shoe laces in Docs, back in the mid 80's. Like white = white supremist (bonehead), blue = skins, or something like that.
Maybe I'm thinking of something else. It was 15ish years age, and back then I was a wee little skate punk.

Yeah, man I remember that too! White was white power, Red had the same meaning as red suspenders, Blue meant straight edge and Yellow was anti-cop... or something weird like that, no?

I was talking about the skinheads, not the punks.

And these days, it's mostly the stupid or trendy punks that are anarchists. Most of them realize that Anarchy is for idjits.

Heh, I remember that too, back when I was in the hardcore scene. (music you pr0n starved geeks, not hardcore films).

Anyway, back in the day we hardcore kids thought that white laces was for white power, yellow for facists, red for guys who spilt the blood of a black person. I've no idea if any of that bs was true, but it's what we all thought.

Just because a guy has a shaved head, doesn't mean he is a nazi, or listens to punk music...in fact, all it means is that he/she has a shaved head.

/me hears 70's pr0n music in the background...

lol, at least I got the white laces right. Glad to see that I wasn't making the shoelace thing up. I wasn't sure as I slammed skating too many times back then...

You can tell by the color of the laces in their Dr. Martens. Right?

At least that's the way it used to be. Nazi's had white for white power, red for National Front, blue was for Baltimore skins, and any other color was "I don't give a fsck, where's the beer and the skank pit" (just like the rest of us punks/goths)

gawd I'm feeling old.

And there were alot of SHARP (SkinHeads Against Racial Predjudice) skins around at the time too. Beside the straightedge crew. The scene was so small in my hometown, that punks, skins, goths, and straight-edgers all hungout together, except for the nazi's

*sigh* well I guess most people in Fat Wreck are idjits then. Anyways, most punks are ANTI-GOVERNMENT, not anarchists, sorry bout that.

And.... hmmm... what did red suspenders mean???? YOU MAKIN FUN OF SANTA?!?!?!?!!!

In a way I'm kinda glad I was a military brat growin up. Hell most military kids don't have time to worry about all this grouping and categorizing garbage. We don't know how long we'll be in that town for so you make friends with whoever you can.

"Are you a racist?"
"Not at all."
"But you have a 'White Power' insignia on your jacket?!"
"Yes, why?"
"Aren't people with that insignia racists?"
"Oh, I just took it because it looks cool with my shirt."

skinhead -> <- me
