Skinhead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Skinheads, named after their shaven heads, are members of a subculture that originated in Britain in the 1960s, where they were closely tied to the Rude Boys of the West Indies and the Mods of the UK. |
 | | By the 1970s, the skinhead subculture started to fade, and some of the original skins dropped into new categories, such as the "Suedeheads" (defined by the ability to manipulate one's hair with a comb), "Smoothies" (often with hairstyles down to shoulder length), and "Bootboys" (associated with gangs and hooliganism). |
 | | Skinheads with even shorter hair and less emphasis on style grew in numbers and grabbed the attention of the media, as a result of hooliganism during football matches, sometimes to the point of rioting. |
