Lately, I have been thinking about the type of music that I always seem to be listening to. I was never really sure what genre it was; it could be punk, pop punk, with a little singer-songwriter sometimes, but it could be angry, or funny, or sad, or hype. It was hard to pin-point what exactly I was listening to. After a quick search, I found that this music was mostly identified as skate punk in the ’90s. It was called skate punk because most of the bands in the sub-genre were from California and were more than likely emerged in the skateboarding fad of the time. When I was in middle school, I had found my love for Blink182 and Sum41 and tons of other more modern bands that were more relevant in the punk scene. When I got to high school, I even bought tickets to Warped Tour in 2014. Since then, I still bump Blink182, Bad Religion, Sum41, The Offspring etc. Although I loved the music, I never learned to actually skateboard. I’ve tried so many time and I’ve found that I have absolutely no coordination… So does that mean I’m not actually a skate punk?
