Skate PUNK

Skate punk (sometimes called skate core or skate rock) is a subgenre of punkrock, originally a derivative of hardcore punk, that has been popular among skateboarders Skate punk grew from the nardcore punk scene out of Oxnard, California. It is very similar to Nardcore, as it is fast and aggressive, yet some skate punk focuses more on melodic and harmonious vocals. Skate punk is usually also more technical than Nardcore. Many members of skate punk bands have been skateboarders. Their lyrics occasionally focus on, or at least reference, skateboarding. Because there is a lot of overlap between skate punk and other forms of punk, many skate punk bands also fit into the genres pop punk, hardcore punk,melodic hardcore and thrashcore.
