Skate rock is mainly a term used for rock, punk, emo and heavy metal bands, generally from the 1980s and the 1990s, who were involved in the sport of skateboarding. Some prime examples of skate rock bands are McRad, JFA, the Faction, the Big Boys, Agent Orange, Suicidal Tendencies, The Suicide Machines, U.S. Bombs, Lagwagon, Minor Threat and Drunk Injuns. The term "skate rock" usually refers to rock bands that occupied a middle ground between hard rock and soft rock, intermixed with both punk and non-punk skateboarding culture. It has its roots in alternative rock, as skaters who do not listen to punk rock often listen to alternative rock. In the early 1960s, one of the most popular forms of rock and roll was surf rock. ...

Skate rock vs. skate punk
Music There is some confusion over the term "skate rock," since some skate rock bands don't skateboard, and many musicians that do skate don't play skate rock. Also, not all skate rock bands are punk bands, as not all skaters are punks (and not all punks are skaters), so they are called "skate rock" to differentiate them from the skate punk style. In this case, "skate rock" would refer to bands that mix traditional non-punk skateboarding culture with traditional non-punk rock music. As skateboarding was originally tied to surfing, skate rock can sometimes be considered closer in style to surf rock than skate punk. Additionally, while skate punk is a subgenre of hardcore punk, which is considered "anti-establishment", skate rock can be considered a more "traditional" form of rock music, the non-punk counterpart of skate punk. Skate rock lacks the aggressiveness, rebelliousness, confrontational nature, or rage often inherent in skate punk and other hardcore punk subgenres. Simple rhythms, acoustic/electric guitar interplay, keyboards, and surf-and arena-style drums define the instrumental sound, and vocally, the music is far closer to surf rock, arena rock, or even the mod revival than skate punk, although like skate punk, the lyrics will occasionally focus on, or at least reference skateboarding. As skate punk is often portrayed as "extreme", skate rock is softer, gentler, and more bombastic. Skate punk (also known as skatepunk, skate-punk, skate-thrash, surf punk, or skate-core) was originally a derivative of hardcore punk , so named because of its popularity among skateboarders, and the fact that many members of skate punk bands were themselves skaters. ...

Culture As skateboarding's original popularity was originally tied to punk, the non-punk side of skateboarding culture, which originated out of surf culture, is lesser-known, as not all skateboarders were drawn to the punk subculture and its associated fashion and ideologies. Additionally, "punk" skateboarders and non-punk skateboarders (usually mods) have been known to publicly clash, as while the mod lifestyle is a non-rebellious subculture, the punk lifestyle is a rebellious counterculture. The original "archetypical" skateboarder was portrayed as "rebellious" against society. However, recently, with skateboarders listening to other genres of music, the skateboarder's "punk" association is diminishing. As "skate punks" dress in out-of-the-ordinary punk fashion, traditional skaters dress in clothing similar to surfers, other kinds of athletes, or hard rock bands, and sometimes a mix of the three. While clothes worn by "skate punks" includes thrift store clothing or anything that openly rejects mainstream clothing, traditional skateboarders wear slightly modified versions of mainstream clothing. A skate punk's attire is baggy, chained, and spiked, and strewn with holes and rips, but a traditional skater's clothing is more sophisticated and refined.
