The mid-late 2000s saw a big revival in Hardcore and Punk, and with it a big revival of Punk and Skinhead fashion styles. I was never really sure what caused this. Maybe "underground music" had been pretty successful coming through the 90s, and it was logical for it to circle back to it's roots after it's time in the commercial spotlight had ended. I don't know. These subcultures also got a pretty good amount of retrospective spotlight through a number of music documentaries that came out around this time. There were also films like This is England (pic related), Shane Meadow's semi auto-biographical film about growing up in the subculture in the early 80s. It actually does a good job at portraying both sides of what was going on with the subculture, so it's the one skinhead film I ever go out of my way to recommend.
I'm super thankful to this era, because it gave me the opportunity to be a part of things like subcultures and music scenes at exactly the right time in my life. That being said, a lot of the fashion was bordering on LARP throwback costumes. I was first attracted to the skinhead style because it was pretty utilitarian compared to the Casualties esque look of many of my friends. Even so, I still always leaned more towards dressing like the asian kid in this photo >>15766261
Than going full boots n braces, or claiming that I was a 'Skinhead".
Also many new young SHARPs, Hardcore Kids, and Punks took it upon themselves to violently expel Nazi Skins from any punk shows, and most places around their cities in general.
By the end of the 2000s and early 2010s, most other people in the punk scene toned down their style and started dressing more like that as well.
