I don't know what you're considering skate punk. As far as my own leanings go, I would say 7 Seconds, DRI, Dag Nasty, Descendents, and Faction would be among my tops, and I consider them punk as hell.

all those poppy sh!t that always turn up on skateboarding video games

Descendents are alright

You mean like the Tony Hawk Pro Skater franchise? That's a wide array of music, but the majority of it I would file under pop punk.

Crossover thrash or hardcore is what I'd consider "skate punk". Suicidal Tendencies and DRI are the best examples of this. A lot of real skaters think that pop punk skate **** is lame as ****.

I think the skateboarders who like Green Day and Sum 41 usually got into it in like high school to try and have some hobby that sounds cool. I'm actually not a skater but a lot of my friends are, and it's a very elitist thing. If you just like to skate at parks and do tricks every so often, you're a poser who probably listens to Blink 182. If you skate as a sport, and skate in people's pools and on the streets and stuff, you're legit and you wouldn't be caught dead listening to that crap.

Again, this isn't really anything I can substantiate, but I think skate punk certainly is not the pop punk, even if the subject is about skateboarding.

dude.... THPS 4 had the best soundtrack. Hot Water Music? Agent Orange? The CULT?
I think one of them had The Adolescents and The Addicts, too.

I intended to put the whole page's worth but I'm limited to 10 apparently. ghey. Anywho, all 10 of those are for you.

But seriously. U trollin, bro?

Also, this thread went way off-topic. The guy who made it hasn't said anything new. Maybe this could be a place for critiquing punk culture or something?

What's up with crust punks?

TAKE A MOTHER****ING SHOWER.

no

i like Suicidal Tendencies when they were more "thrash" than "punk"

about the only skate-punk i can stand is early Sugar Ray

Batman · 03-26-2012, 02:00 AM

I'm still confused by what you consider skate punk.
