In the late 1970s, the skinhead subculture was revived to a notable extent after the introduction of [[punk rock]].<ref name="Soundtrack">{{Cite journal |last=Shaffer |first=Ryan |year=2013 |title=The Soundtrack of Neo-Fascism: Youth and Music in the National Front |journal=Patterns of Prejudice |volume=47 |pages=458–482 |doi=10.1080/0031322X.2013.842289 |s2cid=144461518 |number=4–5}}</ref> Most of these revivalist skinheads reacted to the commercialism of punk by adopting a look that was in line with the original 1969 skinhead style.{{citation needed|date=June 2014}} This revival included Gary Hodges and [[Hoxton Tom McCourt]] (both later of the band the [[4-Skins]]) and [[Suggs (singer)|Suggs]], later of the band [[Madness (band)|Madness]]. Around this time, some skinheads became affiliated with [[far-right politics|far right]] groups such as the [[National Front (United Kingdom)|National Front]] and the [[British Movement]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Arnold |first=Rebecca |title=Fashion, Desire and Anxiety: Image and Morality in the 20th Century |publisher=I.B.Tauris |year=2001 |isbn=978-1860645556 |pages=43}}</ref> From 1979 onwards, [[Punk fashion|punk-influenced]] skinheads with shorter hair, higher boots and less emphasis on traditional styles grew in numbers and grabbed media attention, mostly due to [[football hooliganism]]. There still remained, however, skinheads who preferred the original mod-inspired styles.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Childs |first=Peter |title=Encyclopedia of Contemporary British Culture |last2=Storry |first2=Michael |publisher=Routledge |year=2013 |isbn=978-1134755547 |pages=496 |quote=In 2009 Paul Lazarus and Phil downsborough put on an event in Margate in Kent "the Big 40, the fortieth anniversary of Skinhead" which was attended by Skinheads from Britain, the USA, Europe, Australia and Japan  The event ran on a yearly basis until 2012}}</ref>

Eventually different interpretations of the skinhead subculture expanded beyond Britain and continental Europe. In the United States, certain segments of the [[hardcore punk]] scene embraced skinhead styles and developed their own version of the subculture.<ref name="autogenerated4">{{Cite magazine |date=November 1, 2006 |title=Rage with the Machine: A new breed of patriotic punks gets in the pit for Bush |url=http://www.stuffmagazine.com/articles/index.aspx?id=1519 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080507204645/http://www.stuffmagazine.com/articles/index.aspx?id=1519 |archive-date=7 May 2008 |magazine=Stuffmagazine.com}}</ref>

Bill Osgerby has argued that skinhead culture more broadly grows strength from specific economic circumstances.<ref>Osgerby, 1998</ref> In a BBC interview, he remarked "In the late 70s and early 80s, working class culture was disintegrating through unemployment and inner city decay and there was an attempt to recapture a sense of working class solidarity and identity in the face of a tide of social change."<ref name="Under">{{Cite web |last=Geoghegan |first=Tom |date=12 April 2007 |title=Under the skin |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/6546617.stm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817153324/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6546617.stm |archive-date=17 August 2017 |website=BBC News Magazine}}</ref>
