why are skinheads called skinheads
Skinheads redirects here. For the American 1989 film, see Skinheads (film) . A skinhead is a member of a subculture that originated among working class youths in London, England, in the 1960s and then soon spread to other parts of the United Kingdom, and later to other countries around the world.ince the 1980s, some skinheads have clipped their hair with no guard, or even shaved it with a razor. Some skinheads sport sideburns of various styles, usually neatly trimmed, but most skinheads do not have mustaches or beards. In the 1960s, most female skinheads had mod-style haircuts.
