When you embrace the cringe, you can become ungovernable

    I want to have fun.

    I want to go dancing.

    I want to laugh with close friends.

    I want to make memories I will cherish.

    I want to let go of my troubles and anxieties.

    I want to believe that good things are still possible.

    I want to know there is more to this life than counting days until we shed this mortal coil.

    I like this silly video.

    Oh! I remember this night! This was right before the MDMA spray went around and the orgy started.

    Woah towards the end the guy in red braces is actually doing the original "ska" dance. Compare to: https://youtu.be/j0ZrHMY5Cso?t=36

    Very interesting... in the early- to mid-90s I had some friends who were really into 2nd wave 2-tone (like Madness, Selecter, Specials, English Beat) and what they taught me involved more knee-kicks, like what this influencer's doing here: https://youtu.be/IWpUHMow5LM?t=2

    Personally I liked the first generation of ska the best, when it blended with rocksteady and early reggae, very soulful stuff.

    TIL: that a lot of people didn't know the original skinheads were a working class group in the UK that embraced black culture via Ska/raggae before Nazis co opted the look.

    Why are so many guys dressed like a neo-nazi skinhead?

    They are probs S.H.A.R.Ps (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice), they easily get confused with Neo-Nazis

    Edit: ignore the hyperlink it created coz of the format

    Except for the guy wearing a loNSDAle shirt (German Nazis like the brand bc it looks like NSDAP when you wear a jacket over it, which is a forbidden Nazi slogan in Germany)

    The history of skinheads is tied to calypso/ska just like this from Britain in the 60s/70s. During the late 70s/80s neo Nazi asshat appropriated this culture and it has caused this reaction ever since. Especially in the punk scenes

    I'd rather be with a bunch of sharps when the nazis try to crash a show than almost anyone else. Not only are they highly anti racism, they know the one way to deal with nazis, and they do not waste time.

    I feel like the chick is just trying to fit in and danced like that because of peer pressure.

    Based on music, I thought they were Sharps

    It’s my understanding that sharps were primarily an American thing, but the original skins in the UK were anti-fascist. Not sure if these are Brits or Americans but either way probably not Nazis.

    Can't speak for the music but red and white braces = nazi skins. I didn't see any colored laces so it's hard to say for sure if they're white supremacists, the color code has fallen out of fashion too. If there was a variety of colored braces and laces it'd be pretty easy to say they're not nazi skins, but the fact that everyone is wearing red and white is sus as fuck

    I've been places where white=trad and red could be sharps or redskins.

    This shit is so inconsistent you can never assume. I moved across the country once and after going to a few bars/cafes I thought I found my people, oh boy was I wrong.

    You need to look at tattoos, shirts, or overt music to make a judgement on first impression.

    I would think at a nazi skin party at least some people would be wearing their favorite wp T-shirts, the lack of this or any visible sus tats would suggest these are probably cool people. But if you stumbled upon it, and you didn't know the local customs, you couldn't be sure until you heard a bit of conversation.

    Fair enough!. I can only speak for parts of the midwest (from family stories) and the north florida scene. Red braces and laces are still very much a thing here among white supremacists. You don't see many nazi punks up here but they're still around. There isn't much of a skinhead scene generally in north florida anymore, and the color code is slowly falling into obscurity with the exception of red, what little else remains has been absorbed into the more general punk/diy scenes and is seldom seen

    The color codes are very inconsistent from region to region, and evolve over time.

    Without overt tattoos, T-shirt slogans, or music, I would assume a combination of Sharps, trads, reds, etc., none of which would tolerate racist skins.
