    I've seen them around. A couple of them ride Vespas and would be mates with lads I know. They're into the look and the music etc. not the far right bollox.

    Too true. I know mates from the eighties, very much into the music, and the scooters, to this day. Great guys, and no time for racists. Any thug can buy a clippers. Won't know the music though.

    Good mates with these people and if some people had any clue about the skinhead culture in Ireland they would realise that skinheads aren't racist cmob like they listen to reggae wouldn't make any sense. People putting stereo types on people they don't know that are completely wrong. If u had ever talked to one you would know they wear patches saying skin heads against racial prejudice. Know the facts before you accuse

    I was always confused by that given that the Nazis never shaved their heads and didnt listen to punk music.

    Great scene. As said earlier if people actually knew about the origins of the skinhead movement they would know that racism has absolutely nothing to do with it. In fact it's the very opposite. The ska nights around the town are some of the best nights around. Wouldn't be a mod or skin myself but love the music etc. They want to have their hair a certain way and dress a certain way. Fair play to them.

    I used to dress a certain way myself one time going through a phase for a period of time. Sometimes when a person dresses and looks a certain way some people are curious as the original post who started this thread said in one of his replies.

    I used to wear certain items at that time when I going through that phase I would get asked the odd time why do you wear that ? and so on. Also at that time I was doing a fas course one particular lad on the course started on me one day due to the way I dressed at that time he thought something about me looked gay it went from words being exchanged to a fight but needless to say he never started on me again afterwards.

    Do skin heads etc ‘suit up’ when going for say a job interview or to a wedding and other formal occasions or is the attitude ‘eff them, I won’t be judged on how I look or dress’..?

    Waterford water front theatre putting on a performance of The Warriors perhaps.

    Somewhere out there on that horizon
    Out beyond the neon lights
    I know there must be somethin' better

    My humour obviously didn't translate well there.

    I have skinheads and mods dating back to the 70s in my family :)

    My other point stands though, brilliant movies/TV shows

    Plenty of graffiti on walls back in the day of Ska, Mods, Skins, Madness, Jam, Specials etc..
    Not much evidence of it left around anymore.

    There's always been a healthy vespa/scooter scene in Waterford... I'm sure it's just an extension of that scene... These things tend to come and go in waves.

    I got into punk in the 90s, went to a stiff little fingers gig with a bunch of my friends sisters friends who were much older and around when punk was new �� they went ****ing mad at that gig, were full on giving it loads, dressed the part etc... Met them again at various stages and realised even punks end up with jobs in banks, respectable haircuts, suits and nice brogues...
