Uhh this might sound a lil silly but do you have any videos, news articles, essays that detail skinhead culture more thoroughly. Alot of the ones I find is very muddy and I need something much clearer cos I'm writing a character/reader where reader-insert is a skinhead. So uhm pls let me know

Don't worry!! I don't have any articles or essays like that at hand, but I recommend you to watch music videos of skinhead bands and look at the fashion in that (I don't know what kind of skinhead you're looking for there's multiple groups) You can look for 2-tone/ska, ska-punk, and Oi!. I also recommend looking more into lace code if you want them to have any specific beliefs in things like for instance if you give the character yellow and purple laces it means they stand for anti-racism and lbgtq pride/rights. For things you can probably find articles on are for the organizations such as SHARP and RASH, there's probably more but these are the most popular ones I can think of at the top of my head. Also watch videos of people skanking andddd idk what else sorry it's early in the morning and I'm just trying to think whatever I can that can help, so I hope some of these things can help you!!
I FORGOT TO MENTION you might already know this but DO NOT MIX UP SKINHEADS WITH BONEHEADS. Boneheads are the far-right neo-nazi losers who took the fashion after skinheads became a thing. Skinheads are the original ones who stand on more leftist things or sometimes just non-political.
