Definition
A person with a closely shaved or bald head, originally referring to a British working-class youth subculture of the 1960s. Later became associated with various political movements, both racist and anti-racist.
Etymology
Compound of 'skin' + 'head,' first used in the late 1960s to describe the closely cropped hairstyle adopted by certain British youth. The term initially had no political connotations, referring simply to the distinctive appearance.
Kelly Says
The original skinhead movement was actually heavily influenced by Jamaican rude boy culture and reggae music, making the later association with racism historically ironic. Many traditional skinheads today actively distance themselves from extremist groups that appropriated their style.
