Skinhead

Skinheads are members of a subculture that started in the late 1960's, (in part?) emerging out of the Mod youth subculture in Great Britain. They are characterised by shaved heads and, at least originally, a preference for ska music.

As a group, skinheads have required a bad reputation for advocating fascist political ideas, but although there are many skinheads who have these ideas, there are also some who strongly reject them, e.g., the members of SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice).
