Mine started with a classic story of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. I remember hearing Amoeba from the Adolescents. A year later or so I finally got around to buying their self-titled album. Then Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX 2 introduced I Against I from Bad Brains, and on the spot I bought their self-titled and I Against I on only hearing 1 song. Then Black Flag's Damaged came into play somehow. I think heard them and thought, feckin Henry Rollins kicks arse. The last is The Distillers self-titled, I think my brother showed me some of them, then realized that I already knew like 5 of their songs, go Bordy Dalle. I think I started getting turned away a bit when my old bandmates listened to newer generic punk crap that kinda all sung about politics and the same politics and how they're pissed but don't want to do anything about it accompanyed by the same guitar riffs. Even the tones of voice/instruments and style was the same. So I went on a large death metal kick and now I'ma gonna listen to the Distillers. Maybe thats just me hating almost all modern music.
