I was just watching this bit on the OG Skinheads:

tl;dw: the movement came from Jamaican immigrants to the UK, who then blended their music into the local subculture, and then moved to the US. It has strong anti-racist roots. The fashy takeover of the term "Skinheads" in pop culture is completely without support, since you can't ignore where it came from. OG Skinheads call them "Boneheads".
