Skate punk was the lovechild of the blossoming California skateboarding scene and the late 1980s hardcore punk scene. Bands like Bad Religion, Descendents, NOFX, and Pennywise started gaining popularity, using a more melodic sound and incorporating elements of pop punk into their music.

facts

[@RByrne]

Yes 411! I had boxes of them. Not only that, but all skate videos got me into so many different types of music, hip hop, classic rock, folk, punk, etc..

[@Pickupjazz]

whoever curated those soundtracks deserves an award

[@alfianbanjaransari4096]

I never thought Pickup Music would actually "pick up" punkrock. This is awesome!

[@Pickupjazz]

We are just getting into all things Rock 🎉

[@jasonhathaway9746]

I believe Epitaph Records had a major role in the development of our music and bringing this style to the masses. Great video 🤘🏻

[@Pickupjazz]

Many hands behind these greats!

Ngl, I must have learned more in 13 minutes than in the past 13 years. I wish somebody would break it down to me like this a long time ago. Thanks!

So happy to hear that this video helped you! Joshua knows how to teach a lot of great info without wasting any time

I miss how it used to be in San Diego.. none of this is left

[@gabor222]

I thought that it's the speed of it which will be hard for me (never played this genre before) but at the end that was the easy part. The octaves part was quite difficult for me to mute instead of accidentally make them into power chords all the time.

[@emanuelloliveira1317]

great lesson! thank you!

It's our pleasure 🤘

Top 7: Lagwagon, No Use for a Name, Hi Standard, Strung Out, Frenzal Rhomb, Nofx, Propagandhi

[@michaelr.4878]

Nothing beats well written, melodic punk. Lagwagon is my favorite band of all time...and punk isn't even my favorite genre. But their performance and songwriting are hard to beat.

[@surfjones3]

Is the 1st part all down strum

[@dm4728]

I was a blader at this time... I remember the video series Video Groove...

[@Pickupjazz]

those were the days

[@pburghdoom]

I love this but question, do you think the punk rockers at the time thought about it this way?

[@tony57763]

What's the song at 0:36?

[@valentinvali9622]

Almost happy by the odd numbers
