I don't know how it was in Europe, but I remember by the 1990s in the US there were media portrayals of "skinheads" as a totally American and totally white power thing, with absolutely no recognition or memory of a non-racist UK subculture from a few decades earlier. It was before the internet made it easy to look up that it existed in another context, some TV show talking about "skinheads" could define the term for millions.
