"Unlike many other musical subcultures (punk, for example), skinheads don't usually 'grow out of it.' Some have been around since the early 1980s and are pushing 60. Their preferred look—sharp, smart and clean—certainly helps them to age gracefully, but Morales believes something else keeps people in the fold. 'It's that attitude: the idea that I work for all my shit. Nothing has been given to you, so you're proud of the stuff you have.' It's not just about wearing the right clothes or having the right records in your collection; it's about representing your working-class way of life."
Nicholas Pell in the LA Weekly discusses the rise of the Latino skinhead scene in Los Angeles.
