I am also not sure that this is true, not to lessen the US skinhead cultures influence by any means. It seems to me that part of the reason for the UK rebellion to being working class (or being proud of being working class, depending on your perspective) was that there was seemingly less opportunity to rise above your roots in the UK (correct me if I'm wrong, of course). Although the UK is a democracy, there is more of a distinct caste type class structure than in the US, and I feel like this feeling of less self-effecacy and hoplessness/dissillusionment influenced the movement there more so than in the US.
