[kj] rebellion?

[Christof hamille]

As with everything time dillutes the original message.

Back in the 80s Detroit hardcore scene you could bet your teeth that if you saw a skinhead with white laces that they were racist.  Nowadays you see Hot Topic "punkers" with Docs and white laces sporting a Clash t-shirt.  So now unless there is something blatant, subtle clothing does not mark them as "the enemy".  The racist skins tend to be a bit more subtle/ashamed/hiding/whatever about it nowadays.  At least in these parts.
