Skin Head Reggae

The skinhead subculture was originally associated with music genres such as soulskarocksteady and early reggae.[1][24] The link between skinheads and Jamaican music led to the development of the skinhead reggae genre; performed by artists such as Desmond DekkerDerrick MorganLaurel AitkenSymarip and The Pioneers.[11] In the early 1970s, some suedeheads also listened to British glam rock bands such asThe SweetSlade and Mott the Hoople.[19][25] During this time, some reggae lyrics featured themes of black liberation and awareness, something that white skinheads could not relate to.[26] This shift in reggae's lyrical themes created some tension between black and white skinheads, who otherwise got along fairly well.[27] (Wikipedia: Article - Skin Head)
