When researching the different guere of music skinheads most commonly listen to, it most defiantly took me by surprise. because of the pre made stereotype i had in my head of a skinhead, was a rasic, believer it white supremacy , i don't think you really take into consideration that not all skinheads are like that, in fact the majority of skinheads mainly listen to reggae and i think that music definitely plays an important role in any kind of subculture including skinheads.
When researching i found that originally, skinheads were mainly associated by having passion to reggae music such as Desmond Dekker and Laurel Aitke Symarip, Joe the Boss, and Judge Dread. All the music being quite upbeat and happy.

Many reggae artist during the 70s wrote songs and albums ,deicated to skinsheads for they knew that they had a big skinhead following. Like Laurel Aitke and Symarip.
More types of music come besides popular among skinheads such as Northern Soul, Rocksteady, streetpunk, mod rock and, in Usa especially, Hardcore. Neo-Nazi and Traditional skinheads listen to Rock Against Communism.
