The first remarkable signs of the skinhead subculture, according to the current literature, date back to 1985, but the first signs of skinhead can be traced between 1983 and 1984. The anti-communist mood in society and growing community intolerance towards the gypsy population have paved the way for far-right thinking.

This was further stimulated by the infiltration of news from foreign medias, which considered ultra-right action to be a sensation, and because of this marketing step, the population was so supplied with hot news. The relationship between the punk movement and the skinhead subculture is basically that skinheads are merging from punk movement because of the influence of socalled Oi movement or by the imagination of foreign media, such as the 100+1 magazine of foreign interests.

The right-wing skins experienced its own Renaissance when the Orlík music group emerged, which, however, evaded from neo-Nazism promoted abroad and built its values on patriotism and racism, although some of those texts attracted a number of those fans. With the collapse of the communist regime and the opening of the information flow, several subcultures began to be profiled by yet unavailable information.
