To what extent has reggae invaded the consciousness of the white youth in Britain? Well the first thing that emerges is that by accepting reggae the skinheads have rejected something else. That rejection is a rejection of the middle class with its existential mystical hippie-style music, which is unable to cater to the social needs of the skinheads….
Blimey, you mean, skinheads didn’t like hippies? It’s London, 1970, and the sociologists are out in force…
