My new super rad concert tee has made it into the wardrobe rotation.

It matches the aquabats sweatshirt I have from when I saw them in philly.

Theming is important!

can we talk about the extreme differences from original skinheads and neo-nazis????

The Skinhead movement actually started in Montego Bay, Jamaica in the early 1960’s. They were working class, blue collar kids that listened to ska and shaved their heads to tell each other apart from the mods, and rasta’s. The movement filtered over to the UK and then American when white racist assholes started adopting the style and calling themselves skinheads. So now the world thinks all skinheads are racist. Real skinheads are not the neo-Nazi assholes one so often hears, sees and reads about in the media. Many skinheads now, are come from different backgrounds and race, living in California you’ll see latino, black, white, asain skinheads. They choose to be skinheads because they believe in the values of the working class, they believe all races should come together and they like to groove to the ska beat.

I ask that you please refer to neo-Nazi as Neo-nazis fascists or racists or just plain ignorant fucks, but not as skinheads. They are not true skinheads, for they do not connect to the music and culture.
