I always assumed this song was about how people mocked Ian and his friends for their physical appearance without getting to know them..first in the Teen Idles for "dressing punk" and later when Ian started shaving his head completely bald for Minor Threat. It was seen as an anti social or evil thing by most, but ironically his personality was nothing like the average "skinhead". This song seems to be about ignorance and how it pissed him off.
