"Real Egg Punk” only consists of the NWI hardcore punk scene and the mid 2010s midwest hardcore scene. What is known by “egg” punk is nothing but post punk with questionable real egg influence.

an FYI. he is saying trallpunk and not trollpunk, a trall is a short melody and to tralla is to hum or singalong to a simple melody and there is a great focus on the melodies in trallpunk to be singalongy "trall-friendly" with strong influences from swedish folk music including visor (small story telling songs) which is why in addition to the very left leaning political lyrics story telling lyrics are very common as well. musically not influenced enough to be folkpunk, but a lot of crossover exists obviously.

@@shanesmith2853 Most Egg Punk is just Art Punk, played in a more manic fashion typically influenced by Devo, with some of the fuzzed out aggression and occasional lofi production of Garage Punk thrown in to make it still hit hard. Egg Punk started as a meme and really wasn't a distinct genre. It was a term used to label Punk bands that leaned into the Avante-Garde roots and sensibilities of the original wave of Punks, as opposed to what was labeled Chain Punk (pretty much traditional hardcore, it is not a distinct subset). No band is calling themselves Egg Punk (as the long going meme essentially implied it wasn't "real" punk) but as time went on, enough similarities came up in a recent wave of bands that critics started using the term unironically to try and lump them together

Wouldn’t the Cowpunk description nearly be psychobilly…they even use a stand up bass…and sounds kind of hillbilly in some cases. Such as Demented Are Go’s “busted Hymn” or maybe some of Hank 3’s later work.

[@honeybear2504]

I'm a huge fan of both psychobilly and cow punk, to me the difference is psycobilly is specifically influenced more by rockabilly, Texas swing, or the more popular country of the 40's, 50's, 60's. While cow punk is more influenced by darker country, blues, bluegrass. It's a subtle difference for sure but definitely stands out if you listen to the genres they derived from. To me hank 3 fits more into cow punk but occasionally slips more into psychobilly.

[@matte8439]

The Supersuckers, Jason and the scorchers, and Hell stomper were what I thought was cow punk. They all had big influence of old school country in the music.

[@foughtstatue1023]

As others were saying, Psychobilly leans very heavily towards rockabilly influence, while I’ve always thought Cow Punk was more of a mix of everything. Dash Rip Rock, my favorite cow punk band, is what I’m going off of here (also listen to them they’re very good)

I was in the band that was the most egg punk according to the original weird notepad scrawling meme that went around for years alongside the coneheads and lumpy.. and I am here to tell you it's not real. Maybe it was just a psyop to let soft punk/casuals/white men with glasses get their day in the sun and not feel like they're just playing sped up alt rock? Idk but Chain punk also does not exist. I feel like if none of the bands that played it would have ever in their right minds referred to themselves as these things they simply remain as descriptors of levels of posing perhaps?? It might be fashion related. I think it ultimately is just like.. does this kid wear glasses?? do they eat eggs?? I always saw it as a reference to lumpy records because the term came out immediately following the release of Mystic Inane's Eggs onna Plate which is not "egg" sonically but very 'egg' lyrically as the song is about... eating eggs onna plate. Anyways Mystic Inane was the greatest band that existed at this time as anything ripping off Saccharine Trust and Rudimentary Peni and doing it right gets a gold metal. Anyways I'm an old head and it's been 7 long years of 'egg vs chain'. please let these terms die and thank you.
