In the case of groups like the subcultures we're discussing which are often perceived as being crime and/or poverty-ridden, it forms a cocktail of race, gender, and class structural inequalities. These things are obviously institutional. So again, as white supremacy and nationalism rises in Europe it's not a surprise that the fetishization of skinheads, or the white male hypermasculinity associated with them, is extremely popular.
