Skate Punk

Also known as skatepunk, skate-punk, skate-thrash, surf punk, or skate-core, skatepunk is a subgenre of punk that derived from hardcore punk. It is defined by four note basslines, surf-like drums, and fast, Ramones-style guitar, with lyrical themes that reference or center around skateboarding. Its name comes from the fact that many skate punks were skaters, and that skate punk was popular among skaters.
