an offshoot of the early british oi! scene pioneered by bands like cock sparrer and the 4-skins. some of the early streetpunk bands included the varukers, vice squad, blitz, the exploited, and the business. most present streetpunk bands such as union 13, the unseen, the krum bums, resilence, and the devotchkas have taken on a more aggresive style of streetpunk, but some bands like the street brats, the lancasters, and antidote (the one from holland, not new york) still play the more traditional style of it. it has widely become a laughing matter in most punk circles because most of its most outspoken bands (the casualties, cheap sex, and about 90% of the other bands on punkcore records) sing about nothing more than how drunk they can get, how punk they are, how much they hate emo and how spiky their hair is.

Get the streetpunk mug.A genre of person characterized by wearing combat boots, military jackets, loud music, alcohol, and spending alot of time out in the street. Sometimes panhandling. This genre has 2 subcategories:
1. Anti-Nazis. These are punks whom wear the "NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF" gear and etc, they sport a variety of hair styles (generally a mohawk or spike variety) and are nice people, they just dont have the best manners. They have a traditional punk view except they tend to be social liberals with anti-establishment overtones. An anti-nazi is signatured by their anti-nazi patch worn on their right arm and has an ecto-sign over a swastika. Usally coupled with a sharpied message (i.e."Erase Racism"). An anti-nazi band is The Casualties.
2. Iron Crosses. These are nazi-skinheads who tend to predominate in the south and are the exact opposite of the anti-nazis. They hate about every minority, shave their heads, are violent, listen to skrewdriver, and wear the iron cross(a german medal of valor) as their logo. Open about their preachings of hate.
NOTE: Iron Crosses are often confused with trads, who are non-nazi skins who simply live a lifestyle of party and political nihilism. Trads are bands like Blanks 77. They look similar, except trads DO NOT wear the swatika/germany gear.

Anti-nazi: Hello, I dont give a flying fuck what you think of me and I have strong political opinions.

Get the streetpunk'd mug.A form of harder, faster, more angry type of punk music. Street punk derived from "the streets" (hence the name)Usually working class or poor, street punks know how life is out on the street and are aware of the world around them.
Though the roots are not exactly known, most street punk music began in the UK with "The Spirit of '77" and "UK '82", which is a name for the eras of street punk.
Street punks usually have the most colorful of outfits, out of all forms of punk. Usually street punks wear leather jackets or denim jackets with studs and band logos or beliefs either painted or sewn on. Street punks also usually wear plaid pants, or tight stretch jeans, along with boots like doc martens. "Mohawks" and "Liberty Spikes" are among the many hair styles worn, as well as hair dyed radical colours.
Street punks may have a "tough" image, but most are the nicest people you'll ever meet. Usually the most accepting also.
Though their image is the main thing that sets them apart, Street punk is more about unity, acceptance, diversity, and fighting for what you believe in, regardless of the consequences.

Get the Street Punk mug.A street punk is the last of a once noble and respectable subculture that's now been almost thoroughly commercialized. Still listens to genuine music made by genuine people without the frivolities of fancy recording equipment and without the shackles of a major record label. A true, untrammelled seeker of freedom. Many are hard drinkers. Most can shoot a boot to your temple faster then you can count to three. They are frequently some of the nicest, most open and accepting people around. But they can still whoop your ass in heartbeat.
