Overview
Formed: 
January 1, 1988

The Hammerskin Nation (HSN) is the largest organization for members of the skinhead movement in the United States. A loose confederation of chapters scattered across the country, HSN began in Dallas, Texas in the 1980s. White-power music and music festivals play a key role in mobilizing members and consolidating ideology across the various chapters.
