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.

I get the joke, but if hot people danced like that, I’d still laugh.
When you embrace the cringe, you can become ungovernable
goals, haha
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.
You should go to Brazil
Why are so many guys dressed like a neo-nazi skinhead?
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
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
Love the SHARPs. My buddy is big into the scene and they commonly have matinee shows on Sundays. Great time.
Yeah i used to be one back in my teens, miss the bracers haha
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)
Lot of left wing skinhead wear lonsdale too, it was part of the skinhead culture way before there was any politic in the movement...
I watched it without sound first and got curious. That was NOT what I imagined xD
False, there is a woman there.
casually ignoring ladybutterfly and tons of blahaj users(among others)
Hey, we are on Lemmy too! And also cringe af.
Never give up
Brave of you to assume that’s not the dj’s wife as a plant to get them dancing
As a DJ, I can confirm this is a legit strategy.
She thought she was a man when she got there, Lemmy does that to ya
Reminds me of these guys.
This looks fun, more fun than most dancefloors.
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

Compared to the US 1990s to early 2000s ska revival skanking.
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.
Agreed. I was in a number of ska bands throughout the nineties, but they all wanted to be third wave. I vastly preferred the sound and energy of first wave.
I want to make a snarky comment about suspenders but the video just says it all
Needs more lederhosen.
Needs more beans
Ok, so we're skinheads now? Not complaining, just asking...
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.
Like we all she the massive creep in the middle, right?
