Jobless again

Well I knew it couldn't last, the job was shit but at least I had a wage, small but survivable. What else can a laborer expect these days. Minimum wage for maximum effort. As a skinhead you cannot expect much more unless you have the education to get a good job. Skinheads are working class men with a working class background of minimal education at best. Many are unemployed which is mostly why the culture started in the first place.

The Skinhead culture and movement grew out of the unemployed working class youth of the late 60's, and although the culture waned somewhat in the early 70's grew back stronger than ever in the late 70's and early 80's. Unemployment has always been the bug bare of skinheads. Many employers don't understand their culture and in most cases scared of their overpowering looks when in traditional gear.

Yes skinheads are angry, arrogant and intense. They wouldn't be skinheads if they weren't. Being working class does not allow them the advantage of good jobs or nice clothes. They enjoy their status as working class; it's what they are. Their traditional gear of steel capped boots, bleachers or denim jeans, polo shirt or button down collar shirt, braces and MA1 are their uniform. It tells the world they are skinheads.

We are here to stay unlike other cultures that have melted into the fashion scene. It's about time society got used to us and accepted our lifestyle and culture. We can work and we work bloody hard for the pittance most employers give us. Respect us and we will respect you and your company, but please just give us a chance to work, to have dignity and to be who we are. Skinheads.
