Charles’ patches and pins :)

SKA pin: Quick History lesson because I had no idea what it was: definitely google more:

SKA is a music genre that originated in Jamaica. In the 70s a lot of Jamaicans immigrated to the UK. Punks and young Jamaican immigrants felt a sense of unity due to both being screwed over by the system. This led to 2 Tone SKA which mixed SKA with punk rock elements. While 2 Tone SKA is a genre, it was also a movement that focused on racial unity.

Rude Boy patch: In late 60s Jamaica RudeBoys were young “delinquents” who listened to rocksteady music. Term was used in England to refer to fans of SKA and 2 tone. Think the other insults used for punks that have been reclaimed.

Checker Print pin: Represents racial unity in the movement. 

Target patch: Symbol for the Mod subculture. Google this one to.

Union Jack pin (on bag) and patch: He sure is British

Smiley face pin: I believe it’s just a generic smiley face but it could be a logo. 

Unknown metal(?) pin: I can’t get a clear enough look at it to even begin to guess what it is. 

Unknown pin: I have no idea. The one between the metal one and the checker print. No a clue.

Unknown flag(?) pin: A flag with horizontal blue, yellow, and red stripes but I can’t find anything with those colors in that order.

#correct me if I’m wrong on anything #I’ve been researching SKA for like an hour #I like they made Charles kinda punky #also while I was researching it said that ska got popular with white English kids and West Indian immigrant kids #and obvi came from Jamaica #and the actor who plays charles is half indian 1/4 Jamaican and 1/4 white #ALSO #Please let me know if you know what the hell that flag is #I have no clue #charles rowland #dead boy detectives #this all started because I wanted to know what that flag was #still don’t know #but I’ve watched a documentary on 2 tone SKA now #life update: my friend has made fun of me for not knowing what Ska is
