sejarah skinheads

ada tahun 50an dan 60an,terdapat sekumpulan
remaja ‘British’ Working Class yg digelar MOD.Mereka mempunyai imej tersendiri iaitu berambut pendek & mereka lebih ke hala kehidupan & keseronokan.
Mod juga cenderung kea rah fesyen dan terdapat sebuah lagu yg berkaitan dgn MOD iaitu “DEDISATE FOLLOWER FASHION” nyanyian KINKS.Pada akhir 60an golongan yg bergelar diri mereka Skinheads mengubah haluan mereka daripada MOD & mereka berubah menjadi Working Class secara total (buruh).Mereka mencukur rambut dan memakai steel-toe.Tujuannya adalah untuk keselamatan & berjaga – jaga.


Golongan Skinheads adalah terdiri drpd buruh & mereka dianggap sebagai golongan kurang bijak oleh media.Aktiviti harian Skinheads selepas bekerja ialah berkunjung ke pub / dewan harian yg majoritinya terdiri daripada pendatang Jamaica.Di sini mereka berkumpul dan bersembang sambil melayan Ska.Terdapat dua benda yg amat digemari Skinheads iaitu bola sepak dan beer.


Golongan awal Skinheads ialah bukan golongan racist.Permusuhan kaum hanya terjadi jikalau terjadi persaingan.Contohnya persaingan kerja dgn pendatang asing Pakistan (HAMMERSKIN).Tetapi nagi yg tidak terlibat, mereka masih menikmati hidangan India / Pakistan seperti kari.


Terdapat satu istilah iaitu Trojen Skin.Ianya satu gelaran bagi Original Skinheads.Skinheads mula merosot apabila ramai yg mula menyimpan rambut dan berumah tangga.


MOD-MODERNIST=Remaja Working Class di England pada tahun 50an dan 60an.Kebanyakan mereka terdiri daripada golongan antara sekolah dan bekerja.


INDEPENDENT SKINHEADS=Sebenarnya golongan ini terdiri daripada Traditions Skinheads.(SkinTrads)


S.H.A.R.P=Pada hujung 80an,Rody Mareno telah memperkenalkan S.H.A.R.P(Skinheads Againts Racial Prajudice) di Britain.Yang membawa SHARP sebenarnya 3 orang budak New York dan seorang daripadanya bernama Marcus.Di NY,SHARP memang sudah popular .Rody Moreno cuma bawak balik leaflet dan kenalkan di Britain.Objektif mereka adalah untuk meberitahu umum maksud Skinheads sebenarnya dan mendedahkan kepada Boneheads siapa diri mereka sebenarnya dan cuba membawa Nazi Skinheads ke arah landasan yg betul dalam Skinheads.









BONEHEADS=Sebenarnya perkataan Boneheads ada satu sindiran (Mungkin satu penghinaan) dan gelaran ini ditujukan kepada golongan Nazi Skinheads.Gelaran ini diberikan oleh golongan yg bukan racist.Di barat biasanya berkait rapat dengan “White Power”.


WHITE POWER=White Power adalah berunsur perkauman.Ianya bermaksud kuasa orang putih dan ianya menjadi pegangan Nazi Skinheads di barat.Sejak zaman dahulu lagi orang putih pernah mengatakan merekalah yg bertanggungjawab mentamadunkan umat manusia.Ini secara tidak langsung merendah-merendahkan,
memperlecehkan dan sekaligus menghina bangsa lain.Dari sini wujudlah pertelingkahan antara kaum.Perkataan Nazi Skinheads digunakan untuk melambangkan perkauman(racist).Sejajar dengan perjuangan Parti Nazi yg amat megah dengan bangsa Aryan dan memusuhi bangsa Yahudi dll.Terdapat stu perkataan yg melambangkan White Power iaitu “We must secure the existance of our people and future for while children”.


HAMMERSKIN=Satu lagi berunsur racist tetapi keadaan ini terjadi apabila mereka mula terasa terancam akibat persaingan dengan Pakistan.


SKINHEADS MALAYSIA.

Sejak tahun 1990 lagi budaya Skinheads telah dibawa masuk ke Malaysia.Namun pada masa itu golongan Skinheads adalah terlalu kecil.Pasa tahun 1992 budaya Skinheads telah berkembang,ini kerana Singapura merupakan sumber maklumat tentang budaya Skinheads.Skinheads di Malaysia sering berulang alik dari Singapura ke Malaysia untuk mendapatkan maklumat tentang Skinheads.Pada mulanya golongan Punk Rock di Malaysia yg berperanan memperkembangkan budaya Skinheads.Ini adalah kerana pada masa itu masyarakat memandang serong tentang budaya Punk Rock.Cara Punk Rock berpakaian dan ada yg berambut Trojen itulah menjadi isu.Hasil daripada tanggapan masyarakat tentang budaya Punk Rock,golongan Punk Rock telah mengubah cara hidup mereka dan cara berpakaian mereka lebih kemas.Mereka telah memilih cara hidup Skinheads kerana cara Skinheads berpakaian kemas dan uzik Oi!, Ska dapat diterima oleh golongan Punk Rock.Dengan membawa masuk kaset dari barat serta cara berpakaian ala Skinheads,dan ini mebuka mata golongan anak muda meniru budaya ini.Kemudian muncul beberapa band muzik yg memainkan muzik Oi!, Street Rock, Ska , Rocksteady , para peminat muzik Skinheads ini muncul dengan banyaknya.Pengaruh muzik yg dimainkan oleh The Bussiness, The 4 Skins, Cocksparer , Oi Polloi , Last Resort , The Skatalies , The Special , The Selecter telah menjadi ikutan band-band Skinheads di Malaysia.Skinheads di Malaysia tidak dilabelkan undergrounds,sebaliknya mereka hanya menyokong band-band underground.Skinheads merupakan satu budaya,tentang D.I.Y atau Major Label,itu terpulang kepada mereka sendiri samada menerimanya sebagai attitude atau tidak.Skinheads di Malaysia juga terbahagi kepada pecahan-pecahan Skinheads seperti Skinheads Trads,Sharp,Nazi.

ska history

Ska is a Jamaica-originated music genre that combines elements of Caribbean mento and calypso with American jazz and rhythm and blues. It is characterized by a walking bassline, a scratchlike tempo, accented guitar or piano rhythms on the offbeat; and in some cases, jazz-like horn riffs. Originating in the late 1950s, it was a precursor to rocksteady and reggae.[1]
In the 1960s, ska was the preferred music genre of rude boys, although many ska artists condemned the violent rude boy subculture. Ska was also popular with British mods and skinheads, so artists such as Symarip, Laurel Aitken, Desmond Dekker and The Pioneers aimed songs at members of those two subcultures. Music historians typically divide the history of ska into three waves, with a revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and another in the 1990s, mostly based in the United States.

skinheads!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Skinhead culture emerged by 1969 in Britain out of the styles of white mod and black Jamaican rudeboy gangs and as a reaction against hippy values. It was a world of scooter rallies, ska and skinhead reggae, and football matches where there was more action among the spectators than on the field. Some did target South Asians and gays for violence, though apparently not to any greater degree than other kids of the time.
A second wave of skinheads in the late seventies and early eighties came out of the punk scene, although ska retained its skinhead fans. A second wave of ska mixed ska rhythmes with punk organization of the scene and yielded such bands as Madness, Selecter, and The Specials. Streetpunk bands with a skinhead following were labelled Oi by a music writer Gary Bushell, from a Cockney exclamation abundantly used in the songs of the Cockney Rejects, one of the first and best of the bands. According to the record sleeves, oi was a working class reaction against the art students who had overrun the punk scene. Some of the other oi! bands of the time were The Oppressed, The Business, Sham69, Cock Sparrer, Blitz, Last Resort, Condemned84 and Combat84.
Skins were a part of the punk scene in the US at least by the mid-80s. American skin culture came into its own and developed distinct styles around such New York Hardcore (NYHC) bands as Warzone and Agnostic Front, American Oi! bands like Anti-Heros, Iron Cross, Stormwatch, Templars, Dropkick Murphys, Niblick Henbane, and Patriot, and third wave ska catalyzed by MoonSka records in NYC such as Toasters, Pietasters. The Skoidats and Inspecter7 crossed the two.
The association of skins with fascism that shapes how skins are talked about in tabloids and talk shows may be greatly exaggerated but has some historical basis: the British fascist parties recruited aggressively among football hooligans - many of whom were skins - with the help of one of the most popular and charismatic oi bands, Skrewdriver. White nationalist groups, particularly White Aryan Resistance, tried the same in the US, and did have some success in recruiting among North American skinheads, and many of their followers shaved their heads in imitation of skinhead style.
A lot of skinheads fought back against the far right. In the late 80s and early 90s, SHARP (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice) and then redskin crews such as RASH (Red and Anarchist SkinHeads) formed which fought off the Nazis, and claimed a distinction between 'traditional skinheads' who were nonracist (though no less homophobic than other youth), and Nazi 'boneheads'.
The violence among skinhead factions - some political and some just gangs chasing the adrenalin rush - resulted in clubs refusing to book skinhead bands, so the settings where skinhead culture could be enacted became sparse. But the image of the Nazi skinhead has captured the public imagination, and talk shows are especially eager to put them on display. They have not shown as much interest in the anti-racist skins who are very likely the majority of skinheads today. Nothing can be assumed of any skinhead's politics although the patches on his flight might give some big clues. Contrary to common belief, lace colors do not mean anything in most areas.
Forget everything you have ever heard about skinheads. Skins know who we are and recognize each other, but there is not much agreement as to what exactly separates skin from nonskin. For a lot of us, beer and brotherhood, oi and ska, defending the working class, and standing by your mates are a big part of it. Well, you can't automatically assume a taste for large quantities of beer: there is a growing number of straight-edge skins who avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs. For most of us, racial politics are NOT a part of it, and not all of us think you have to be straight to be skin.
There have been gay skins for as long as there have been skinheads, though an amazing number of Skins like to think that all skinheads are straight and always have been.
A lot of them have the same set of fetishes - rubber, leather, watersports - which you will see if you go through the pages of the Gay Skinhead webrings. Don't be surprised if a few think "ska" is some obscure sexual fetish.
A lot of guys who really are skin and gay don't appreciate the shaved queens and the nazis claiming skin. Losing the fetish is the price of admission to the pit.
-->Gay skinheads in Europe, especially London, have created a lively culture of their own; though they are primarily sadomasochists who took on a skinhead identity as a replacement for the biker and lumberjack styles of the leathermen.
In America, gay skins are few but are very much part of the regular skin scene, and keep their distance from the disco-based, fashion-oriented gay culture. American skins can safely assume a lot about each others' favorite music but nothing about their sexuality while generally speaking the European gay skinheads make assumptions about a guy's sexual tastes if he appears to be a skinhead but none at all about their music.
Why should you care who we fuck as long as we are not fucking you?

Skinhead's music

Originally, the skinhead subculture was associated with ska and reggae music, such as that of Desmond Dekker, Laurel Aitken, Symarip and Joe the Boss. The link between skinheads and reggae led to a sub-genre known as skinhead reggae. Other music genres popular with early skinheads were Motown, Northern Soul, Rocksteady,and mod RnB. Suedeheads of the 1970s were also known to listen to British glam rock bands like The Sweet and Mott the Hoople.[8]

The most popular music style for late-1970s skinheads was 2 Tone (also called Two Tone), named after a Coventry, England record label featuring bands such as The Specials, Madness, and The Selecter. Two Tone was the musical integration of ska, rocksteady and punk rock.[16] The label scored many top 20 hits, and eventually a number one. During this time (1979-1981), skinheads were a common sight on the UK high streets.

In the 1970s and early 1980s, Oi! music became accepted by many skinheads and punks. Oi! continues to be one of the most popular genres among skinheads. Musically, it combines elements of punk rock, football chants, pub rock and British glam rock.[17] Some forefathers of Oi! were Sham 69, Cock Sparrer and Menace. The term Oi! as a musical genre is said to come from the band Cockney Rejects and journalist Garry Bushell, who championed the genre in Sounds magazine. Well-known Oi! bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s include Angelic Upstarts, Blitz, The Business, Skrewdriver, Last Resort, Combat 84 and the 4-Skins.[18] Not exclusively a skinhead genre, many Oi! bands included both skins, punks and people who fit into neither category (sometimes called herberts).

White power skinheads developed a separate musical culture known as Rock Against Communism (RAC), which features bands such as Skrewdriver, Brutal Attack and Bound for Glory. It started out musically similar to Oi! and punk rock, and has adopted some elements from heavy metal and rock music.

U.S. Oi! began in the 1980s with bands such as The Press, Iron Cross (whose lead singer's father was a refugee from Nazi Germany), The Bruisers (their former singer now in Dropkick Murphys), and Anti-Heros (who sued the makers of American History X for wrongful use of their logo).[19][20][21] American skinheads also welcomed hardcore punk into the skinhead subculture, with bands like Warzone, Agnostic Front, and Cro-mags. Contemporary American Oi! bands usually mix early American hardcore and 1970s UK streetpunk to arrive at a style all their own

Skinhead History......

Mod origins
In the late 1950s, Great Britain's entrenched class system limited most working class people's educational, housing, and economic opportunities. However, Britain's post-war economic boom led to an increase in disposable income among many young people. Some of those youths invested in new fashions popularized by American soul groups, British R&B bands, certain movie actors, and Carnaby Street clothing merchants.[1]
These youths became known as the mods, a youth subculture noted for its consumerism — and devotion to fashion, music and scooters.[2] Mods of lesser means made do with practical styles that suited their lifestyle and employment circumstances: steel-toe boots, straight-leg jeans or Sta-Prest trousers, button-up shirts, and braces (called suspenders in the USA). When possible, these working-class mods spent their money on suits and other sharp outfits to wear at dancehalls, where they enjoyed soul, ska, bluebeat and rocksteady music.[3]

[edit] Split with the mods
Around 1965, a schism developed between the peacock mods, who were less violent and always wore the latest expensive clothes, and the hard mods (also known as gang mods), who were identified by their shorter hair and more working-class image.[4] Also known as lemonheads and peanuts, these hard mods became commonly known as skinheads by about 1968.[5]
Their shorter hair may have come about for practical reasons, since long hair can be a liability in industrial jobs and a disadvantage in streetfights. Skinheads may also have cut their hair short in defiance of the more bourgeois hippie culture popular at the time. In addition to retaining many mod influences, early skinheads were very interested in Jamaican rude boy styles and culture, especially the music: ska, rocksteady, and early reggae (before the tempo slowed down and lyrics became focused on topics like black nationalism and Rastafarianism).[6]
Skinhead culture became so popular by 1969 that even the rock band Slade temporarily adopted the look, as a marketing strategy.[7] The subculture gained wider notice because of a series of violent and sexually explicit novels by Richard Allen, notably Skinhead and Skinhead Escapes.

[edit] Offshoots and revivals
By the 1970s, the skinhead subculture started to fade from popular culture, 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 shoulder-length hairstyles), and bootboys (with mod-length hair; associated with gangs and hooliganism).[8] [9] Some fashion trends returned to mod roots, reintroducing brogues, loafers, suits, and the slacks-and-sweater look.
In the mid-1970s, the skinhead subculture was revived to a notable extent after the introduction of punk rock. Skinheads with even shorter hair and less emphasis on traditional styles grew in numbers and grabbed media attention, mostly as a result of their involvement with football hooliganism. These skinheads wore punk-influenced styles like higher boots than before (14-20 eyelets) and tighter jeans (sometimes splattered with bleach). However, there were still several skinheads who preferred the original mod-inspired styles. Eventually different interpretations of the skinhead subculture expanded beyond The UK and Europe. One major example is that in the United States, certain segments of the hardcore punk scene embraced skinhead style and developed its own version of the subculture.

[edit] Racism and anti-racism
In the late 1960s, some skinheads (including black skinheads) had engaged in Paki bashing (random violence against Pakistanis and other South Asian immigrants).[10][11] However, there had also been anti-racist and leftist skinheads from the beginning, especially in areas such as Scotland and Northern England.[12] [13] In the 1970s, the racist violence became more politicized, with the involvement of far right organizations like the National Front and British Movement, which included many skinheads among their ranks. Those organizations' positions against blacks and Asians appealed to many working class skinheads who blamed immigrants for economic and social problems. This led to the public's misconception that all skinheads are neo-Nazis.
In an attempt to counter this stereotype, some skinheads formed anti-racist organizations. Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP) started in the USA in 1987, and Anti-Racist Action (ARA) began in 1988 as an anti-racial movement, not a political movement.[14] SHARP spread to the UK and beyond, and other less-political skinheads also spoke out against neo-Nazis and in support of traditional skinhead culture. Two examples are the Glasgow Spy Kids in Scotland (who coined the phrase Spirit of 69), and the publishers of the Hard As Nails zine in England.[15]
