 PopMatters Columns Michael Stephens BodyMatters Freak Flags: Male Hair Styles in '60s and '70s Britain
Mods and rockers, skinheads and hippies, punks and dreads, are all variations on the long-hair/short-hair theme.
The mods and rockers were working-class youth cultures, but the mod hairstyle represented a sleek, futuristic, smarter-than-smart brand of youth alienation, while the rockers hearkened back to earlier hair rebels, like the teddy boys, who took their fashion cues from Edwardian dandy-ism.
Big Youth's freaky, dreaded-out appearance cannot mask the stoned hilarity at the heart of his music, a spirit that leaves listeners with nothing on their minds but gigantic, gold-filled, toothy grins.

Hispanic fighting gangs in East Los Angeles were not limited to the lowest-income areas of the city (Klein 1971).
Many, but not all, Skinhead groups are neo-Nazi gangs who model themselves after punk rockers and Skinheads in England.
Similarly, Klein initially characterized the gang as an adolescent group perceived by both themselves and others as involved in delinquencies, but not of a serious or lethal nature (1968, 1971).

 AlterNet: WireTap: Redeeming the Youth Vote
The movement critiques the leftist ideals that have often pervaded the punk rock movement.
The movement also hopes to register young people to vote and give a voice to right-wing punks who may have been too fearful to make their voices heard in a predominantly leftist music and cultural scene.
And while many conservatives bash Hollywood, it might be those in the movie and music who can influence and appeal to youth.

 CMT.com : Roberto Carlos : Biography
Though the adherence to a worn-out sentimental formula proved to be affective in commercial terms (more than 70 million albums sold in his career), it ultimately led him to be known, in the '80s and '90s, as a cheesy artist by youngsters and part of the adult listeners.
His light music, derived from British pop, and his (and his partner's Erasmo Carlos') lyrics (happy, humorous, and full of fashionable youth slang and naïve though unexpectedly sexual) were deeply contrasting to the serious MPB, with its somber images and protest songs.
Nevertheless, the mid-'90s witnessed a resurgence of Jovem Guarda talents through tributes of new rockers and Carlos reached the 21st century uncontestedly enjoying his absolute title: the King.

 Electric Review - On the CD Watch
A sound commanded by Morrison’s masterful ownership of the stage (her lusty vocal, flanked by the simple rhythms of dual guitars, bass and drums, is something beautiful to behold).
Make no mistake, these are the songs of desperate men and hungry children and grave-diggers, the songs of the soul imprisoned by its own sick heart.
And this record offers perfect evidence of that fact: the music driven by the tension of the times, strangled by passion, groaning against the Kingdoms of the world.

Jan 4, 2000, 9:40 AM PT So much for music's youth movement.
The nominations for the 2000 Grammy Awards are in, and while upstarts like the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Ricky Martin and Christina Aguilera all scored in key categories, none could match the AARP-eligible rockers of Santana.

Many of these later mods were fans of bands such as The Jam, The Merton Parkas, Secret Affair, and The Lambrettas, and Two Tone groups such as The Specials, The Beat, The Selecter, and Madness.

They drunk themselves stupid, went about in gangs, listened to banned music, smoked, didn't conform at all and even took it as far as beating the hell out of Nazi youths (teenagers, not kids) on night missions.
'The Edelweiss Pirates' were an anti- nazi youth movement back in the 30's, and were basically the punk-rockers of their era.
We widely respect this group for what they did to try and show people that they don't have to conform with what became the most famous fascist regime in modern history.

Gabe, for example, really wanted to finish school and have a normal life, which I dont begrudge him at all, and he just couldnt see acheiving that goal and being in a working rock band.
Basically it came down to two things, Some of us didn't want to be full-time rockers, and the rest of us weren't willing to try and replace them.
