That's new to me. Where I live, punks and skinheads are natural enemies

Like skinheads and goths, or skinheads and greasers, or skinheads and other skinheads

Labor skinheads and neonazi skinheads.

I was so sad when I discovered the Hammerskins were a thing (a White Power band inspired by Pink Floyd's Waiting For The Worms, but without the irony, with a corresponding militant movement). The Hammerskins took their logo:

From the Hammers banner from the movie version of Pink Floyd's The Wall

Which means when I reference the Hammers in parody of white power movements, I risk being associated with an actual white power movement.

If they had balls, they'd call themselves The Worms.

...the hammers were in the original album art and live show before the film...

My first purchased version was the CD after the movie release. Stunning, amazing work, the lot of it.

"I thought WE were the People's Front of Judaea?"

That's true everywhere. The issue isn't what they are, the issue is how they were deliberately misrepresented. A whole lot of films and shows made it a point to conflate punks with white supremacists.

I wanted to say that that's what they are seen here in Germany. I have never heard of these films and the idea is new to me. Btw: the original skinheads were left working class so maybe history repeats itself here.
