"...Portland based Chin Up Rocky, mixing elements of pop, screamo, punk and what many are calling post-hardcore. Chin Up Rocky carries a positive if not happy tone that still has enough bite to induce you to get low." -hurdcore.com
In late 2006 Chin Up Rocky began with five young individuals that shared their love of music. Throughout the years people left and people changed. Every minuscule detail has brought the band to where they are today. From the pop punk influences that they grew up with to the hardcore and progressive influences of today, Chin Up Rocky has developed their own style that uses all of the above. In 2010 Chin Up Rocky has their current members that all have put their heart and soul into the new Self-Titled EP.
The name of a band originated in Portland, Oregon, by members of Parkrose High School. Their music type could be classified as "punk-pop" and takes influence from bands such as Reel Big Fish.

I heard that Chin Up Rocky's new EP, "We Are..." will actually increase your chances of getting laid.
when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
