TIL: that a lot of people didn't know the original skinheads were a working class group in the UK that embraced black culture via Ska/raggae before Nazis co opted the look.

I get the joke, but if hot people danced like that, I’d still laugh.
Why are so many guys dressed like a neo-nazi skinhead?
They are probs S.H.A.R.Ps (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), they easily get confused with Neo-Nazis
Edit: ignore the hyperlink it created coz of the format
Love the SHARPs. My buddy is big into the scene and they commonly have matinee shows on Sundays. Great time.
Yeah i used to be one back in my teens, miss the bracers haha
Except for the guy wearing a loNSDAle shirt (German Nazis like the brand bc it looks like NSDAP when you wear a jacket over it, which is a forbidden Nazi slogan in Germany)
Lot of left wing skinhead wear lonsdale too, it was part of the skinhead culture way before there was any politic in the movement...
The history of skinheads is tied to calypso/ska just like this from Britain in the 60s/70s. During the late 70s/80s neo Nazi asshat appropriated this culture and it has caused this reaction ever since. Especially in the punk scenes
Who doesn’t like ska?
I love ska and ska punk specifically
I'm not a big fan.
I watched it without sound first and got curious. That was NOT what I imagined xD
Reminds me of these guys.
Needs more beans
Ok, so we're skinheads now? Not complaining, just asking...
I'd rather be with a bunch of sharps when the nazis try to crash a show than almost anyone else. Not only are they highly anti racism, they know the one way to deal with nazis, and they do not waste time.
So many suspenders
Notice the lack of ganja smoke.
I feel like the chick is just trying to fit in and danced like that because of peer pressure.
I want to have fun.
I want to go dancing.
I want to laugh with close friends.
I want to make memories I will cherish.
I want to let go of my troubles and anxieties.
I want to believe that good things are still possible.
I want to know there is more to this life than counting days until we shed this mortal coil.
I like this silly video.
You should go to Brazil
