skate punk

Skate punk (also known as 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. Lyrics themselves will occasionally focus on, or at least reference skateboarding.Skate punk typically uses four-note basslines, surf-like drums, and fast, Ramones-style guitar. Mostly played on the upbeat instead of the downbeat, skatecore is known for emulating the "feel" of skating—much in the same way surf sought to emulate the feel of surfing. Skate punk utilizes quick uptempo "jumps" of silence at the end of the measure to emphasize the start of the riff. As many band members as well as much of the audience were skaters, a scene developed distinct from the larger punk scene. Bands used a similar aggression as hardcore, but with different musical topics. At the time of the emergence of this genre, skateboarding was still seen as an outcast activity (similar to that of surfing, from which skateboarding has its origins). Many bands used that 'outcast' feeling, of being a skater, and thus the stereotypes that came with that, as fuel for their music. Often, bands like JFA would talk about their problems with police, or "preps," and the harsh treatment they received from them, in their songs and albums. Many bands of the "Nardcore" music scene from Oxnard, California—such as Rich Kids on LSD, Dr. Know, Agression, Habeas Corpus, Scared Straight, and Ill Repute—are extensions of this genre. Despite coverage in Thrasher Magazine, this style of punk differs from thrash. The legendary 1970s skateboarder Duane Peters grew into skate punk via skateboarding, forming three skate punk bands: Turn Your Head and Cough, U.S. Bombs and later The Hunns (also known as Duane Peters and the Hunns, die Hunns). Other bands associated with skateboarding are The Faction, Los Olvidados, Free Beer, Drunk Injuns, Lagwagon, NOFX, Gang Green, Suicidal Tendencies, Descendents, Adolescents, Agent Orange, Skate Death, Black Flag, SideSixtySeven, Clay Wheels, Big Boys, The Sidewalk Surfers, Bad Religion, Dead Kennedys, The NoNamed, Anti-Flag, and JFA. In the 1980s, music by hardcore punk bands such as Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, and the Circle Jerks were very popular among skateboarders. Some bands, like JFA and Big Boys, are considered by many as two of the first 'skate punk' bandscitation needed. They were skateboarders that also played in punk bands and used their passion for skateboarding in the context of many of their songs. Other examples of this are Free Beer and Los Olvidados. Many of these bands were regularly covered in Thrasher, a skateboarding magazine that also helped develop the skate punk scene. Thrasher released many skate videos, featuring the music of these bands on the soundtrack.
The movement of skate punk reached an all time high in the 1990s with the formation of the Vans Warped Tour, whose first tour featured Sublime and female rock band L7. The 1997 Warped Tour featured performances by bands classifiable as skate punk, such as the reunited Descendents, The Faction, Lagwagon, The Suicide Machines, SNFU, Pennywise, face to face, Millencolin, The Offspring, Bones Brigade and The Bouncing Souls.Skate punk can also describe the fashion created by earlier skateboarders.

skatepark slut

A skatepark slut is a stupid female who feels the need to hang around the skatepark a minimum of 3 times a week, to do absolutely nothing but sit there, usually in their element or volcom wear that they got from Pac Sun, and look cute just in case one of the skaters happens to take a break and look their way. (Even tho that is absolutely ridiculous because guys are their to skate, not to pick up girls). Usually once a week, a skatepark slut will ask to borrow some guys board and attempt to skate down a ramp, and 100% of the time she will fall on her ass and giggle like the stupid slut she is...winning her no points what-so-ever with any guy. (unless he wants some action)

skatepark slut: oh hey jonny can i see your board for a second? (annoying giggle)
johnny: uh ya sure
skatepark slut:(still giggling annoyingly as she climps up the ramp) omg do you think i should try this, omg im going to...wait! omg im scared *more giggling*okay here i go!!!
*falls on her ass, with more trying to be cute laughs*

skatepark

a place for skating. it consists of ramps, mini ramps, vert ramps, bowls, pipes, banks, ledges, stairs, rails, flow and the sirface can be either concrete or wood. It can be either be indoors or outdoors. Public skateparks are usually outdoors and are surfaced concrete, and some are gated while indoor ones like vans are private owned and are made of wooden ramps. Skateparks began in the mid 1970's and closed in the early 1980s due to skyrocketing insurance costs because of injuries. skaters rode backyard ramps and also invented street skating. the last of the early parks to close was upland's pipeline in 1988. by 2000 the skateparks make a comeback some even better consisting street skating as well as vert skating while the early parks was just vert and flow, and one cannot sue if they are injured but can be cited for safety gear if raided by police.
