I stumbled across this, and I have no idea what to make of it, other than its pretty ancient.

Both local bands to me, featuring a guy Al Boyd who I personally think is one of the best political poets I've ever come across. (Jennifa is more notable in the context here for its video clip and its comment on 'boat people' refugees in australia.

Why are white supremacists always drawn to the punk music? Because it's simple, easy to understand, played by and for morons.

Be careful with that assertion. White supremacists where largely told to gently caress off by the punk scene, so they instead started targetting the Skinhead scene instead.

And Skinhead was basically a UK appropriation of Jamaican Rudeboy culture and music with a local working-class-lads twist.

As to why they decided that they wanted to be "Skinheads" and then just to be confusing, skinheads who listened to a bastardised version of street-punk instead of Reggae and ska,whilst racing around being racists instead of jamaicaphiles as was tradition with the skinhead scene is anyones guess.

There was never much of an affinity between punk and racism. Couple of earlier punk bands stupidly wore swastikas until the NF started turning up to gigs and the gluesniffers decided the nazi poo poo was probably a bad idea. But other than that its always been firmly taboo in that scene. Skinhead however, yeah , as loving strange as it was for a historical perspective, I guess the nazis just liked the violence in the scene and decided to appropriate that and the shaved heads whilst carefuly airbrushing out the skinhead movements roots in black culture.
