In the 90s, pop punk bands were often influenced by 80s punk and hardcore, musically and lyrically. Pop punk today is more often influenced by bands such as Blink 182, Green Day, and New Found Glory who created pop punk music that has almost no resemblance to 80s punk and hardcore. Skate punk is not a real genre, it just describes a trend of pop punk in the 90s. Delete this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.36.179.7 ( talk) 21:58, 11 December 2011 (UTC) reply

This article is horrible. It needs to be deleted.

i agree for sure man

First off, this doesn't give any real definition of what 'skate punk' is, and it seems like any band that someone who skateboards happens to like can be added to this article at any time. Some songs by The Bouncing Souls like Manthem and East Coast! Fuck You! might be considered skate punk, but The Offspring and Pennywise, absolutely no chance. Nearly all their songs are about political and social issues and neither have ever given any indication of giving half a fuck about skateboarders. Hell, Avril friggin Lavigne is closer to skate punk than those two bands, and half of Sum 41's videos show spoiled suburban mall rats like the kid who posted the 'this article is stiupted' comment below me skateboarding. Alkaline Trio also aren't anything close to skate punk.

As long as skate punk remains completely undefined, this article shouldn't exist. Thank you. yes i agree!!!! (besides me and my skater freinds like to be referd to as thugs) Wannabe rockstar ( talk) 20:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC) reply

First off, no. Wikipedia is not for arguing personal tastes, and whether or not you feel Sum 41 is not punk doesn't matter. I'm going to write more in this article, please keep your opinions out. This is a page for the SKATE PUNK MUSIC GENRE, which is a crossover of Hardcore punk, street punk, and pop punk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deedeek ( talk • contribs) 16:58, 21 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Why does everyone think skaters are punks????!!!?!?! it makes me mad

Nobody mentions ALL skaters are punks, just a large majority of them. Skaters have always had a major association with punk (especially Hardcore Punk). The reason is that Skating is originally from California (Surfers) and the Hardcore Punk movement also originates from California and the two images sat alongside each other and married into one another. Watch any Skate competition or buy Skating magazines or go on speciallist Skate shops and punk will be a part of it. Venice, California is the Skate Capital of the world and also the Capital for hardcore punk groups like Suicidal Tendencies. The original Hardcore group Black Flag was from Hermosa Beach, LA, California.

In addition to the west coast scene it is mirrored on the East Coast in New York which also has a big Skate scene accompanied by a big Hardcore scene. The difference is the lack of beach in place for an urban high rise enviroment. Again the two have married to one another. Metalosaurus ( talk) 17:36, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply

I agree, the page was created by one of Michaels incarnations and originally listed bands including Sex Pistols, Chumbawamba and 1970s rock band Trapeze (band) as 'skate punk', the latter presumably because one member of that band happened to be a namesake of a member of Crass!!!

Well some people my not believe that Sk8-punk isnt a genre but (despite that I vairly discribe my self like that) I would say that I belong to this group. As in music there are many styles of people in the world. Soccor mums, goths etc, while these may be sterotypes the discriptions that are given in these article can give a insite to the people who belong to the groups. Skatepunk IS a genre. Punks/Hardcore Punk are much differnt to skatepunks. The closest i come to agreeing is that we almost need a new name as we have drifted far from the punk style. We arent the cold, "mean" and dead eyed (no insultes ment sterotypling) punks that are often discribed, we have fun laugh play joke make fun of people and cause as much chaos as possible without hurting people... other then our friends. Skatepunk often will do something extreamy dangerous just for fun. i.e dodging trafic etc. We are similar to the people off jackarse. We dont wear dull dark colors, bright fluro and anything that stands out is our way. Think of us as punks on X. haha. Catch

Please please PLEASE get rid of the unsightly and horribly off topic story about Limp Bizkit at the 97 Warped Tour. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with skate punk, and all it serves to do is demean the entire concept of skate punk AND can become confusing to someone quickly skimming the page, making one possibly think that Limp Bizkit is a representative of skate punk. I'd like to post this here before making any changes, in case anyone feels otherwise.

Also, the "More recent bands trying to capture the skate punk sound are..." section is a load of crap; most of the bands listed aren't at all good representatives of modern skate punk, and they are merely using this page as a shoutout for their band. I should know - Surfing Socrates actually opened for my band once. They are a local band out of Melbourne, FL and have not had any notable achievements whatsoever; in fact, if I can be blunt, I think that they are horribly untalented and lack any kind of merit.

the article sucks, but skate punk IS a genre. it refers to (drumroll please) punk music made by and for skaters. 4 note basslines, almost surf-ish drums, and fast, ramones-style guitar. mostly played on the upbeat instead of the downbeat, skatecore is known for emulating the 'feel' of skating. skate punk utilizes quick uptempo 'jumps' of silence at the end of the measure to emphasize the start of the riff. 70.56.91.147 21:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Wow, this article IS pretty spotty at best.. I don't understand the grunge connection fully, if you're going to mention that,why not hiphop or some other genre that skaters got into?

I was a skaterpunk in the 'day' and the grunge connection is VERY real.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!! Leave hip hop OUT of this discussion! It is about skate ROCK/PUNK. The 'rapper dork' skaters were, and ARE 'fashion poseurs', and were correctly identified as POSEURS from the first day I saw one of the losers.

The only credible 'rapper' in the genre was Skatemaster Tate, and he was NOT a lame 'gangsta' rapper, and used punkish music. Teamgoon 12:27, 6 September 2006 (UTC) reply

Hey I'm with you. The article leans way too hard tword pop punk or "Sesame Street Punk" to borrow a term from from old MRR. The Suicidal Tendencies first album was one of the first I remember everyone skating to until the wee hours of the morning. You can do the ol' Agent Orange/Descendents/Bad Religion arguement until you're blue in the face but I was there and I remember it being more hardcore than that. D.R.I.'s "Violent Pacification" 7-inch was more of the early skate punk sound. I remember being flat out shocked the first time I heard The Faction and they DIDN'T shred. I expected Cab to handle that bass with the same skill as his board - you know, like NOMEANSNO or something. Having said that though, going further back in time to the late 70's, believe it or not, DEVO was one of the first. Dave Andrecht, inventor of the handplant, is in one of their videos, I think "Freedom of Choice" with a keyhole jump (UPDATE: I am not sure about who's in the video, I'm getting research on lots of skaters now including S'Alba & El Gato). You can look thru old issues of Skateboarder Magazine and see guys with DEVO shirts on. Jefferson Starship supported skateboarding even before that, back when the movie "Skateboard" came out, but they had a song called "Skateboard" as well that was horrible and pretty much ended what they established. Still, though, they were rumored to be friends with Alva, and "Jane" and "Stranger" had the half-pipe "pump" rhythm back when half-pipes didn't have flat bottoms, and "Jane" even came in an extended insturmental version which seemed taylor made for contests ("Find Your Way Back" also had the California 'beach rock' vibe). The point is, can we PLEASE stop defining every damn thing with pop punk? Jeez, enough already...people 3000 years from now are going to think we ate Fruity Pebbles three times a day.

I don't know if this applys or not, but my experience with the skatepunk genre suggests that there needs to be some mention of the simplified thrash chords that skate punk bands tend to use. Take bands like Pennywise for example who will often use a simple high on the bridge palm mute power chord and repeat the beat as fast as they can creating a kh-kh-kh-kh-kh-kh-Grsh sound. This seems to spawn pretty directly from early skatepunk bands like Suicidal Tendencies who were also part of the crossover thrash scene. In my experience the "thrasher riff" is pretty instrumental in creating that illusion of the feel of skateboarding.

When did skate punk start? What was the first skate punk band? // Liftarn ( talk) JFA,The Faction,Agent Orange, McRad, and RKL were the first skate punk bands. Nofx didnt come till the 90's. Hardcore bands like Blackflag and Minor Threat were popular among skateboards because of their sound and that the members skated. But they were more hardcore. But JFA and Agent Orange really started skate punk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.187.97.167 ( talk) 02:04, 21 October 2008 (UTC) reply

First of all, WOW the article HAS been cleaned up so much for the better! Go WIKI! (I'm making a donation right now) Ok, YES you're someone who is in the know & really boiling it down here to the crucial definitive moment. I also agree on your band list, and also what you're saying about the distinction(are you a band that skates, or are you a Skate Rock band?). But, there is no doubt that the more hardcore bands that skated are MAJORLY involved here and really helped to propel the Skate Rock momentum at that exact same moment in rock history. One of the things that's kind of disturbing still about the article is no mention of THRASHER Magazine and it's Skate Rock articles or it's Skate Rock compilation albums, which are just as important as your band list. I know you're concerned about the diversity gettting WAY out of control here but IMO early hardcore is the yang part of this crucial era and frequently gets short-dicked. Frankly it gets me pretty worked up. Like the first Powell videos...I understand that's the McRad guy but come on, no one listened to music like that except kids that didn't skate until they first saw it.

All -core genres are basically genres of Hardcore punk and aren't so much musically different but are presenting different images. Anarch-core (Anarcho Punk) was a variation of Hardcore Punk which lead to Crust-core (Crust Punk) which then lead to Grindcore.

"Skate punk" is an inappropriate nomenclature. If anything, this article should be combined with "crossover thrash" or "hardcore punk". Those two genres are where this article fits. If it's more punk than metal, put it under "hardcore". If the band is more metal and has thrashy riffs, put it under "crossover thrash". Simple as that. You can actually delete the "thrashcore" article too. In summation of the punk/hardcore/thrash genres, there's only a slight difference between "crossover thrash" or "thrashcore" and the term "thrash" is how it's most widely referred.

We know punk was revived during the 80s and 90s in places like Southern California and that's a given, but I've never once heard of the term "skate punk" as a catch all for this movement including BMX riders and surfers as early as the mid-late 1970s and fail to see why this association is made on wikipedia. Excuse the earlier polemical, but I'm not a regular contributor to wikipedia. The reference in particular to it being covered on skate videos is a bit of a misnomer to say the least it's also been covered on videos related to no less than rollerblading, body boarding, surfing and the pass times associated with it have been around for so long as BMX riders such as Bob Haro later of Haro Bikes were riding BMX bikes in swimming pools in Southern California in the 1970s and also in the associated surfing movements. I fail to see the conection here that this is a unique movement.

Bias should cover this one, further discussion can also be raised here. I fail to see how this is relevantly different to other articles including 1980s Punk Rock in California, Hardcore punk and other similar articles of this nature. I suggest this article needs some serious revision or a merger with other articles of a similar nature, undue weight is given to the importance and relevance of skateboarding to the punk music scene, no other derivative article exists, surf punk is now also merged into the main article for hardcore punk. -- 123.211.208.122 ( talk) 05:32, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

we can add lots of things to the list including golf punk ad nauseam, I think it solidifies that this isn't some sort of unique movement. I hate to reference myself, but I grew up in it. As much as we liked to tell everyone to take a hike no matter whether we were boarders, riders or other, it's the same movement, which I think we can agree is my point. As to the various things going on here and some of the contents of this article, really I can remember watching more 411VM skate videos that represented skating as a black subculture where everyone listened to hip hop rather than punk. I more so associate punk with Props BMX and surfing video. Yeah the term skater punk came along, and yeah there are punk rock bands around that associate themselves with skating, then there are just as many old school BMX riders such as Bob Haro and Bob "robbie" Morales that were equally as active in the scene in southern California at the time as anyone else was in the mid-late 1970s, 80s and early 90s where hardcore punk found its way. I guess what I am saying is that this is far from a unique movement to skateboarding and that this article is truly not representative of what was going on at the time. -- 123.211.208.122 ( talk) 12:03, 28 December 2015 (UTC) reply

Albums like Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by Blink-182 tend to mix pop punk with skate punk. Therefore, it kind of is skate punk. "Man Overboard" by Blink-182 is skate punk mixed with pop punk. You removed sourced content and you removed the part about 2010s skate punk from the lead part of the article which is supposed to give a summary or something. Skate punk was a hardcore punk genre in the 1980s but then in the 1990s it changed into a more melodic, less hardcore punkish genre of punk rock. All you are doing is removing sound samples (which are important), removing information, etc. EuropeanSwedenAmerican2222 ( talk) 02:26, 12 May 2016 (UTC) reply

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

This request is from Brian Brannon, the singer for JFA, who was intimately involved in the creation of skate punk.

This article contradicts itself. In the first sentence of the second paragraph, it says: "Skate punk was pioneered in the 1980s by bands such as Suicidal Tendencies and JFA."

Then in the second sentence under History>Early development (1980s), it states: "The Big Boys,[5] JFA[5] and Suicidal Tendencies[1] all are considered pioneers of skate punk."

Note that these two sentences discuss who are considered the pioneers, but in the first instance, The Big Boys are left out and Suicidal Tendencies is listed first.

Suicidal Tendencies were not skate punk pioneers, and it's debatable if they were a true skate punk band. The pioneers of skate punk were The Big Boys and JFA. Thus, Suicidal Tendencies should be removed from this sentence and placed in the next sentence that mentions bands that were among the first wave of skate punk bands:

"Bands such as Agression,[12] Drunk Injuns, RKL, Gang Green, NOFX, McRad, The Black Athletes, Tales of Terror, Stalag 13, Hogan's Heroes,[13][14][15] and The Faction were also among the first wave of skate punk bands.[1]"

Thrasher magazine, which is considered the Bible of Skateboarding and is where the term Skate Rock originated included both The Big Boys and JFA in the article August 1983 article "Skate Rock Part 1" (pp.32-36), which was the first time the term Skate Rock (which later became Skate Punk) was used. http://www.thrashermagazine.com/images/image/Features/2009/1983_mag/8303/8303%20800t/8303p32-33crop800.jpg http://www.thrashermagazine.com/images/image/Features/2009/1983_mag/8303/8303%20800t/8303p34-35crop800.jpg http://www.thrashermagazine.com/images/image/Features/2009/1983_mag/8303/8303%20800t/8303p36-37crop800.jpg

Suicidal Tendencies was not mentioned in this article and indeed did not appear in the magazine until May 1987. http://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/magazine/may-1987/

Thus, although some people may consider them to be among the first wave of skate punk bands, there is no evidence, nor much agreement, that they were skate punk pioneers.

Any questions, please contact Brian Brannon, singer of JFA, at brianjfa@earthlink.net.
