While all this was going on in England, both the 1st wave of Oi! music, and elements from the 80s version of skinhead style, found it's way across the pond, and found favor with the American Hardcore youth culture. Like Oi! music, American Hardcore was a stripped down response to the artiness of 1st wave punk, and even blended with Oi! with bands like Agnostic Front. In their own way, they responded to the gaudy fashions of 1st wave punk with a sort've thriftcore anti-fashion. There's a kinship here. This response to the gaudier side of punk mirrors the original skinhead response to the 60s hippie fashion. Elements of 80s skinhead style, specifically shaved heads, and boots, blended with the Hardcore Anti-Fashion, creating one of my personal favorite iterations of the style, which would inform the way I dressed, myself, during the punk and hardcore revival of the mid 2000s. More on that, and the period in between later today.
