The mods were young people of middle class, who liked wearing elegant clothes, the scooters and the street fighting. The first skinheads were greatly influenced by west Indian Rude Boys and British mods. They usually spent their money on suits and other sharp outfits to wear at dancehalls. There were two tipes of groups of skinheads. One of them were against the nationalism and they were very introduced in the sistem and corrupting. The other group wanted to revive Hitler and they were a violent, xenophobic and hemophobic group.
