I remember growing up in brixton Acre Lane in 70s, There this skinhead john, and he use too hangout on the estate with my brother and he's mates. They love the roots rock reggae and going to blues dances to check out the sound systems. You did not need to be a skinhead to be a NF nor most skins i knew weren't. I was a Rude boy.

what part of this is Skinhead Style? The music is pure reggae and they were Jamaican...not British

@tylercox2 Skinhead is of purely British origin, it was not until well into it's existence that it was recognized as such by the Jamaican music industry, and then became part of a feed-back loop connecting the British Isle's to Jamaica. What is Skinhead in a Jamaican music context? In truth it could be said that almost all music, known collectively as Reggae, from the late 1960s until about c1972 could be claimed as Skinhead,

@tylercox2 Well, skinhead were the main group to follow this music,non other group was into it in England. And this kind of reggae is different from modern reggae: lyrics are not rastafari and sound is obvious a bit antique comparated with modern reggae. now skinheads around the world still playing this music and dancing it. this is skinhead reggae. if you have more question,let me know,cheers

@tylercox2 where do you think SKA came from? Skinhead originated from music the Jamican immigrants brought with them to England. This is skinhead music.

@TUKKERCLAN Oi! is a working class street-level subgenre of punk rock that originated in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s. The music and associated subculture had the goal of promoting unity between punks, skinheads and other non-aligned working class youths

[modstyle408]

@TUKKERCLAN Oi started in England during the Punk Rock scene, it also was a Skinhead revival which called for all the working class kids to unite as one, also well known as Punks and Skins. If you really want to know more, but an album by Sham 69, If the Kids Are United. During all this mess, the Oi kids were siege hailing the police calling them Fascist, because they would constantly harass the kids on the way they dress. Later the wanna be generation misinterpreted the Nazi solute and ....
