One thing we must keep in mind is the importance of common usage. I've ''always'' heard the big three catagories of Skinheads refered to as ''Nazi Skinhead'', ''Anti-Racist Skinhead'' (often SHARP or ARA, but not always), and ''Traditional Skinhead''. The last always emphasized SKA, Jamaican/English Rudeboy history, and less violence (especially violence related to fashion) and less interest in strict fashion generally. In short, traditional skins strike me as less trendy. There are books on this stuff too, I've seen them! Anyways, its important that we use the terms which are most common, and Nazi is a more common term for a skinhead than "white power", even if its not always technically correct.
Another thing this article needs is a discussion of region. Where I lived in Wisconsin, there were no Nazi skins, and every skinhead I met was [[ARA]] or SHARP. Here in Germany its the complete opposite, with every skinhead I've even heard of being [[far-right]] or Nazi.
