Skinhead subculture & punk rock music in Malaysia




Since 1990, the subculture of skinheads was brought to Malaysia but at that time, skinheads are too few. On 1992, skinheads have evolved, since Singapore is the source of information about the subculture. Skinheads in Malaysia often commute from Singapore to Malaysia to get the information and knowledge about Skinheads. At that moment, punk rock has negative images as people saw them as problems and chaotic group. Their Trojan hairstyle and the way that they dressed became an issue so they changed to a better and neater style. From time to time, skinheads and punk rock was recognized by people.


The community became bigger and more bands started to play Oi! Music. The Bussiness, The 4 Skins, Cocksparer , Oi Polloi , Last Resort , The Skatalies , The Special , The Selecter give a huge impact to local music scenes and influenced many youths in their music lifestyle.
