skatepunk

Fast melodic hardcore

Skatepunk is a subgenre of punk rock associated with skateboarding culture, characterized by fast tempos, palm-muted guitar riffs, and lyrics about skating, youth rebellion, and suburban alienation.

Bands like NOFX, Pennywise, and Bad Religion defined the sound in the 1980s and 1990s.

The term also describes someone who embodies this aesthetic: a bunch of skatepunks hanging out at the park.
