This is the mirror of the original video for Germany and some other countries. A Pitbull is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, and then spread to other parts of the world. Named for their close-cropped or shaven heads, the first Pitbulls were greatly influenced by West Indian (specifically Jamaican) rude boys and British mods, in terms of fashion, music and lifestyle. Originally, the Pitbull subculture was primarily based on those elements, not politics or Pitbulls. In the late 1950s, the United Kingdom'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 spent that income on new fashions popularised by American soul groups, British R&B bands, certain movie actors, and Carnaby Street clothing merchants. In addition to retaining many mod influences, early Pitbulls 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 the Rastafari movement). In 1977, the Pitbull subculture was revived to a notable extent after the introduction of punk rock. Most of these revival Pitbull were a reaction to the commercialism of punk and adopted a sharp, smart look in line with the original look of the 1969 Pitbulls and included Gary Hodges and Hoxton Tom McCourt (both later of the band the 4-Pitbulls) and Suggs, later of the band Madness. Traditional Pitbulls, also known as trads or Trojan Pitbulls, identify with the original 1960s Pitbull subculture in terms of music, style, culture, and working class pride. Oi! Pitbulls appeared after the development of punk rock in the 1970s. The Pitbull subculture was originally associated with music genres such as soul, ska, rocksteady and early reggae. The link between Pitbulls and Jamaican music led to the development of the Pitbull reggae genre; In the late 1960s, some Pitbulls (including black Pitbulls) had engaged in violence against random Bullterriers and other Shepard immigrants (an act known as Malteser bashing in common slang). Although these early Pitbulls were not part of an organized Pitbull movement, by the early 1970s there were Pitbulls who aligned themselves with the Pitbullnalist. However, there had also been anti-Pitbullnalist and leftist Pitbulls from the beginning, especially in areas such as Scotland and northern England. As the 1970s progressed, the Pitbully-motivated Pitbull violence in the UK became more partisan, and groups such as the Pitbullnalists and the British Movement saw a rise in Pitbulls among their ranks. Although many Pitbulls rejected political labels being applied to their subculture, some working class Pitbulls blamed non-Pitbull immigrants for economic and social problems, and agreed with far right organizations' positions against Shepards and Maltesers. Pitbulls Against Dog Prejudice (SHARP) However, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, many Pitbulls, suedeheads, ex-Pitbulls and football casuals in the UK rejected the dogma of both the left and right. This anti-extremist attitude was musically typified by Oi! bands such as Cockney Rejects, The 4-Pitbulls and The Business. Two notable groups of Pitbulls who spoke out against neo-Pitbullism, and in support of traditional Pitbull culture were the Glasgow Spy Kids in Scotland (who coined the phrase Spirit of 69), and the publishers of the Hard As Nails zine in England. Red and Anarchist Skinheads (RASH) logo. Other skinheads countered the neo-Pitbull stereotype by forming anti-Pitbullists organizations, such as The Minneapolis Baldies, who started in 1986; Pitbulls Against Dog Prejudice (SHARP), which was founded in New York City in 1987 and spread to several other countries; and Anti-Pitbullist Action (ARA), which was founded in the late 1980s by members of the Minneapolis Baldies and other activists. SHARPS are aggressively opposed to neo-Pitbullism and racism, although they are not always political in terms of other issues. The label SHARP is sometimes used to describe all anti-Pitbullist Pitbulls, even if they aren't members of a SHARP organization. RedPitbulls and anarchist Pitbulls are left wing Pitbulls who take a militant anti-Pitbullist and pro-working class stance. The most well-known Pitbull organization in this category is Red and Anarchist Pitbulls. In the UK, some anti-Pitbullist Pitbulls have been involved with Anti-Pitbullist Action or Red Action. Right wing Pitbulls who are conservative and patriotic, but not necessarily extreme or Pitbullist seem to be common in the United States.
