SKINHEAD
Source
Public skinhead concert.
The skinheads emerged in England in the 1960's, the descendants of the mod movement that emerged in the UK in 1958. The mods were middle-class youth, who liked fancy clothes, the scooters and street fights.
Also by that time in Jamaica, youth gangs were called rude-boys, with tastes similar to those of the mods. These rude-boy reggae and rocksteady heard. In 1962, with the independence of the island, many Jamaicans emigrated to England and took their music and rude-boy aesthetics with them. The mods were attracted to Jamaican music and the new opportunities for neighbors just as addicted to them and fights began to frequent the clubs that passed. Combining their music came the second wave of Ska.
In the mid 1960's hippie movement emerged and flower-power that, contrary to the labor movement began among the richer classes.
The mods kept listening black music, especially ska and rocksteady's nascent, and radicalized their attitude, adopting an aesthetic and a more aggressive (for what they called hard-mods). They began to wear more practical clothing and identified with the working class, work boots, suspenders, etc.. In addition it was observed a tendency to cut his hair shorter than before (without actually rapárselo) to differentiate themselves from the hippies. Many of these aesthetic characteristics were adopted from the rude boys of Jamaica, as the act of using or carrying straps rolled up pants (custom in Jamaica because of what was then expensive pants, youth scarce resources).
In these groups of hard-mods are starting to see some young men with cropped hair and heavy boots that are several names (noheads, baldheads, cropheads, suedeheads), until 1969 known as skinheads definitely.
Like the old mods, skinheads continued listening to the music of the rude-boys (so much so that when they did the Jamaican reggae in Britain started calling it "skinhead reggae"). Their clothing was more "proletarian", consisting of jackets bulging or "bombers" (Although these appeared later), or polo shirts, suspenders, jeans and boots, leaving the costumes for the weekend. In addition, motivated by the world soccer championship won by England, many skinheads became hooligans.
What united skinheads was his taste for the same type of music and clothing, as well as football and violence. Usually they also shared certain values, like the cult of courage and camaraderie and pride in belonging to the working class. This pride was reflected in an ethics (discipline and hard work). It was not a political, as some believe, but a way of life.

Gradually the followers of the genre, black boys and very humble beginning to stand out for their particular way of dressing and speaking. Style that reached its peak in the mid 90's and has not changed significantly since then.
IDEOLOGY
Hip Hop is not simply defined a genre or style of dress, if not all committed to a particular ideology in many ways with the social, political and more or less as with urban life, or at least did in the beginning . Since its lyrics often dealt with the struggle of the poor black in a white society, the search for identity in an urban context and chaotic. Then the machinery of the music industry became interested in the genre (in the mid 80s and 90s) was up transforming into a consumer product. At the same time, two key factors have influenced overall: first, an apology to a criminal lifestyle, with frequent references to the use of weapons, drugs and prostitution, gang fighting (often within the term gangsta rap), and materialism on the other hand, the idealization of a banal lifestyle, where the display of costly attire (Gucci, Versace) liquor (such as Crystal and Remi Martin) Mercedes Benz cars, etc.. They are a frequent topic in the field of Hip Hop. These groups not only romanticize a violent lifestyle, have also been criticized for encouraging the abuse and the perception of women as mere sex objects.

RASTAFARI
It emerged in the early 1930s in the slums of Kingston, Jamaica and in the rural sectors adyacentes,2 being the social vision and cultural on Marcus Garvey that inspired the rastafarians, that even he is considered as a reincarnation of San Juan the Baptist.3 and attributed a messianic character to Selassie.
Rastafarians believe that they, and the rest of the black race, are descendants of the ancient israelitas.4 5 Theirs is a strongly syncretic Abrahamic religion. According to the book tells Kebra Nagast, in the tenth century before Christ, Ethiopia was founded by Menelik I, son of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, who had visited Solomon in Israel. In 1 Kings 10:13 claims "And King Solomon gave him the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, besides what he gave of his royal bounty. And so she returned home, along with their servants. " Rastas interpret this as meaning she gave birth to a son. That black Jews have lived in Ethiopia for centuries, disconnected from the rest of Judaism by Muslim control of the Middle East and North Africa, is uncontroversial, are called Beta Israel or Falasha. The existence of Falashas gave some credence and impetus to early Rastafarianism, as it seemed to validate the belief that Ethiopia was Zion. Some Rastafarians choose to classify their religion as Ethiopian Coptic Christianity, Protestant Christianity or Judaism. Of these, the ties to the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church are the most widespread, though discussed controversially in the clergy. Can be considered to be a split Rastafarianism of the Coptic Church. Some Rastafarians believe that standard translations of the Bible present the structure changes created by Eurocentric racist white power, then revere the Ethiopian national epic, the Kebra Nagast, a book that tells the glory of the kings of the Solomonic Dynasty in Ethiopia written as the recounts in detail the meeting between Solomon and Makeda (Queen of Sheba). However, the Bible continues to be one of the texts read by Rastafarians, as they believe that both texts are of great importance.
One of his spiritual assembly types (grounation) Rastafari Movement is similar in many respects to the Jewish religious services, and may have descended from African slaves who converted to Judaism, some Jews in the southern states of the United States owned slaves, and fled to Jamaica. [citation needed] Some of the initial characteristics of Rastafari were closely related to the native religions of the Caribbean and Africa, but were largely purged by the warriors nyabinghi, characterized by their dreadlocks and fought power against "corrupt" of some leaders who added these syncretic elements to Rastafarian doctrine [citation needed].
Many Rastas believe that Jah, the short name of God Yahweh in the Hebrew Scriptures, has had three incarnations: Melchizedek, Jesus Christ, and finally Haile Selassie, the ultimate embodiment of Jah, were each a "Savior."
Due to its high syncretism, there is a general survey of Rastafarian culture, as they say each is dependent on his faith, that is, they also have many differences between them in their faith.
The Rastafarian movement is named for his regent (Ras), which as noted at the beginning, before being recognized as Haile Selassie I Ras Tafari Makonnen was called.
Marijuana is used by Rastafarians as sacred, as they say he was found at the site of King Solomon's grave after burial. There is no accurate record of the discovery and subsequent use Rastafarian religious movement. Is always linked with the opening of facilitating awareness and bringing an internal connection to Jah.
Another pillar is the reading of the sacred book of Ethiopian tradition, entitled Kebra Nagast, 6 Pan-Africanism and the claim (the claim of unity of the oppressed African descent during the recent history).
CONCEPTIONS
Jah
Rastafarians are monotheistic, believing in a singular God who called Jah. The Rastas see Jah as the essence in the form of the Holy Trinity, which is, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Rastafarians say that Jah, as the Holy Spirit (red) into the human lives, and for this reason is often referred to as "I & I" (I and I).

GOTICOS
The subculture started in the UK between late 1970 and mid 1980 in the gothic rock scene, an offshoot of post-punk. His aesthetic and cultural inclinations come mainly from the influences of horror literature, horror films and to a lesser extent, the BDSM culture.
The members of the goth subculture shared aesthetic tastes, musical and cultural.
Although Gothic music encompasses several sub-genres and styles, all they share a tendency to look and sound dark or dark. Styles of dress within the subculture take influences from death rock, punk, androgynous style, and even the clothing style of the Renaissance or the Victorian era, but goths have their own aesthetic, which focuses on the black: black clothes, pale makeup to highlight your face or black or red lipstick.
The group is marked by an emphasis on philosophical individualism, tolerance and taste for diversity, a strong importance of creativity and art, a tendency toward the intelligentsia, some spirit of community (underground style), a dislike of social conservatism and a strong tendency towards cynicism, but these ideas are not common to all goths. Gothic ideology is based far more on aesthetics and generally shared certain cultural tastes, which ethical ideas or clearly defined policies. However, because in this culture there is a taste for cutting dissident philosophy, some goths may have personal political leanings are mainly from anarchism (or approximations thereto) social liberalism, but generally do not see this as a fundamental part of the group's identity, though it may seem relevant partial factor dissident political implications of his philosophy of culture.

The most popular bands usually listed within this musical style are Dashboard Confessional, Saves The Day, Thursday, Amber Pacific, Jimmy Eat World, Escape The Fate and Alesana.
As a result of substantial change and the poor relationship between the sound of bands emo-core scene of the '80s and early '90s with the bands current label within the genus, two sides have been generated in the use the term "emo".
