In my 15+ years of going to all kinds of punk gigs I don't think I've seen a single skinhead chick. Maybe a couple of guys here and there looking like the typical skinhead but never chicks. Even at gigs not even the band members looked the part where they played skinhead punk rock. What happened to this look?t. central/easter European
>>129864115too associated with racism
>>129864145another reason to eliminate journalists
>>129864115Big mystery why the niche punk subculture for meathead dudes doesn't have many girls in it
>>129864278you should blame the racists for co-opting your shit
>>129864313>for meathead dudeshave you even seen the average skinhead? they are all skinny/average built guys lol>>129864339the media blew things out of proportion yet again and demonized a whole subculture for focusing on a small minority within themit was and still is just about working class guys blending pub rock and punk
>>129864367>for focusingby*
>>129864115They all realized they looked stupid and grew their hair back out.
>>129864367>it was and still is just about working class guys blending pub rock and punkand also hating non-white people.
>>129864438>t. fell for the propaganda
>>129864495you mean the racist propaganda that racist skinheads spread throughout the punk scene for decades? again, you should be blaming them for appropriating your shit and ruining its image.
>>129864313No, OP is right, it was making a third revival in the 2000s, skinhead culture was very popular in Europe in the 2000s.

>>129864367>just about working class guys blending pub rock and punkIt is more about the Spectacle of what you are describing. Skinhead/rudeboy culture was a black thing among carribean immigrants who bore the rocksteady music. As always, black culture is cool and white kids follow it and so it gets filtered and then companies capitalise on it, it's why ska music labels grew out of Jamaica, to pander a faster version of rocksteady to the white kids who,as consumers, would legitimise the market.It died down when Jamaicans switched to Rastafarianism and reggae, a conscious about is blackness movement. And believe it or not, punk would not exist without reggae; that breaking off from the previous paradigm, that radicalisation, became cool (as always, the revolutionary message or its promise is what defines coolness and fashion) so it was inevitable for white kids, who were the gentiles shall we say of that radicalisation, to break off from music that was aimed at them, namely the rock of the era. Big bands with big sounds and musical intricacies seemed conservative, placating conformist consumption of records and idolisation of virtuosity, stifling audience participation, killing the party vibe. Punk became a conscious parody of that, but was more or less understood at its birth by the most forward-thinking white kids, thus rendering it an art/cultural practical critique. To those it appealed in a more instinctive way, it seemed fresh as a sound and radical as a scene in an immediate way, lacking the conscious breakoff from 70s heavy metal. These latter people formed the core of oi! and UK82 bands. They understood punk brought the protest back into music for white kids, so now they wanted to protest against all things they saw fit. Enter the BNP and NF agitation days, who sneaked in their "protest" against the establishment, not because they were anti-establishment, but because the establishment wasn't strict enough.
>>129864115i ran essentially a punk house venue for close to a decade until last year in a major US city and yeah, they still pop up from time to time. It's a really stupid line to be walking though, especially in a scene where everybody is very vocal about how not racist they are>i'm a skinhead but the cool kind before they got racistno point in doing this
