post-skate

Type of punk music inspired by The Homosexuals and Protex which is kind of nervous, cathartic and fairly minimalist. Post-skate bands have the attitude without the object, they have the punk without being skate-punk, they have a vintage style without the vans.

Dude, did you listen to these new post-skate bands? Thigh Master, Dumb, Aborted Tortoise and The Shifters are so rad!
