In later decades, a new generation of skinheads came out of the punk subculture, emerging with a distinct style of music and dress.

At this time, the skinhead subculture was made up overwhelmingly of working-class white men, and with the emergence of far-right political parties, such as the French Front National and the British National Front, around the same time, many skinheads adopted far-right and white supremacist views.

[2] The Red Warriors often acted as security for punk shows and left-wing activist groups, such as SCALP and SOS Racisme, who were often targeted with violence by white power skinheads.

Over time, the Red Warriors, and other youth gangs with similar goals, became well known in France for their confrontational and violent methods for resisting fascists.
