> Skinheads doesn’t mean kids. Where’d you pick that up from? It means people with a shaven head. These days it’s mostly used in a neutral way (note: mostly) but in the seventies and eighties it was a pejorative term associated with violent, often racist people. Not all skinheads then were violent or racist, but that was the connotation of the term.

Apparently there is a youth element to the connotation.

> b. any of a similar group of alienated youths in the U.S., Europe, etc. who variously affect a rough appearance, advocate fascist and racist policies, and engage in hostile and violent activity

It’s not children per se, but rowdy hooligans, fascists, and white supremecists who are largely teens and twenties.

When pressed and fermented they make a powerful tipple.
