Punk's Weirdest Subgenres 22.7.24 1448pm egg hunt by the old ham: ian mackaye and co...... ahhahah so that was what the song was about? as for things in general. sorry, i think i was supposed to mention spastic legs, apples and ambulance service personnel running people over in their emergency service vans for something to do... cos the family of teeth said so... a new name for your band: family of teeth.
@@chrisold97 ‘Punk's Weirdest Subgenres’ 0623am 26.724 devo had one decent song. then made a mint being a retro nostalgia inducing band.... which played at burger bugaloo and such like....
I haven't green punk mention in a video in a long time. I love the way you format your videos, and overall the awesome content therein. Appreciate ya lots Bruv ✌️🖤💯💯💯♠️
@@johnnydropkicks Have you actually listen through one of they're albums or are you saying off of the back of your seeming hatred of tub thumping. Because if so then I recommend you listen to one of their non tubthumbing tracks, my personal favourites are: their cover of her majesty; always tell the voter What the voter wants to hear; gob Full of shit; how to get your band on television; and the day the Nazi died. They actually knew what anarchism is, and were anti Nazi (unlike the sex pistols who wore swastikas); they hated police and the iraq war. So You might be mistaken on your views about them mate. Also they are like 10 or more people over the years, no Space in a hot tub to drown them, unlike Millie vanilla, the llb syncing buggers
"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. When people try to argue that bands like Q are not real egg, while saying that Snooper is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake egg as all NEO NEOS side projects.
Honorable mention: 70s New York no wave scene, where counter culture aspect was taken to an absurd as a response to regular punk becoming mainstream, would ironically become mainstream for the very same reason.
anyone know where I can find all the visual gags jokes and memes he uses in his videos? Theres a lot of really funny schizo shit that I don't know how to even begin trying to find.
I would include d beat which is literally just one band worship (tho one of my favorite punk subgenres) and crack rock steady which is crust + ska punk (with anarchic lyrics)
@@spitchgrizwald6198 discharge not to mean that they sound all exactly like discharge, they're just really worshipping them with the whole dis- in the names
@@arbuznazarov9326 To be fair, if you would have said that they all basically copy and paste what discharge did in the 80s, you wouldn't have been entirely wrong. Discharge was that seminal to punk and hardcore that they kind of are the only band that can really be "true" d beat
I was going to disagree, but then I realized that Disfear was easily my favorite d beat band. That idea evaporated pretty quickly. At least their album Misanthropic Generation is genuinely timeless imo.
@@arbuznazarov9326 They really are. They almost define d beat for me. I'm a punk (mostly oi) and hardcore guy through and through, but if I were stuck on a desert island with only 10 albums to listen to for the rest of my life, Misanthropic Generation specifically would absolutely be on that list. The pure nihilism mixed with that constant, almost punishing guitar/drum combo that hits like a punch are just too good to pass up.
With the mention of egg punk you could've mentioned its adversary which is chain punk, it's more gritty and more hardcore while still questioning its existence and hatred towards egg punk, both genres go side to side and it's almost like a continuous line with bands leaning more towards one end or being in the middle. Great job on discussing egg punk tho, not many people choose to talk about it or recognise it as a genre except for some of the bands hidden within it.
Greetings. My name is Kenneth A, and I’m a recovering normie. How many days of normie sobriety do I have, you ask? Beats me. At least I’m here, by the grace of God, and my fellowship of recovering normies. We are now happy, joyous, and whatever other wholesome cliche that applies. Anyway, thanks for your extraordinary and super weird content. I enjoy weird content. Live long and prosper
“Egg punk” was just a meme way to describe midwestern freak bands and then a bunch of normies got ahold of it and thought it was real, and a thus was created a scourge
The fact that you put gypsy punk in the thumbnail and then barely even mentioned it is so sad. It's my favourite subgenre, and the dreadnoughts are my favourite band of all time
Folk punk is definitely appealing to a certain sect of high testosterone weirdos too, but they tend to be outsider types: anarchist freight train riders for example.
Egg Punk is just an offshoot of modern garage punk. Its sound specifically is the result of modern technology making it possible for kids to record easier and cheaper than ever (often by themselves) on the exact same cheap recording gear, which gives it that unique sonic quality (ie: those new cassette machines with digital outputs). Mix that with a strong DEVO influence (again, most likely the result of using drum machines and keyboards cause they're accessible) and that's basically Egg Punk. But really - had that came out in the 90s, Egg Punk would just be another offshoot of Garage Punk. There were plenty of Garage Punk offshoots in the 90s ranging from "Budget Rock", "Trash Punk", "Punk Rock'n'Roll", etc... most of which were politically indifferent and didn't take themselves seriously. The problem with all these subgenres (and funny thing as well) is that it's a testament to how tribal young people are when it comes to finding an identity. A subgenre of punk can only exist when someone decides to copy one specific band who set out to try something original. Egg Punk being a great example (which really only started to develop as a genre after the Coneheads).
Listened to Gee Tee because I listen to Pacific Purgatory, NXP, Gezebelle Gaburgably, never knew it was classfied as Egg Punk, i juts thought it was some low fidelity kind of "incelcore." It ain't bad though.
Worst I have heard is the rare Beyond Falsetto Screatch Punk where the singer would go as high as they could while singing as loud as they could in a screeching voice. This Genra made it big after an episode of King of Hill had that one band sing Thuot Shalt Not song with the singer mimicking that anyone who has rules for a reason is Nazi doing a fake Nazi Salute in poor form not quite the actual form slightly bent elbow. The music was often like Minimalist Punk only like one line only for the song they made at 4 minutes exact and they Did this voice that was impossible for anyone to listen too often due to the singer who was going so high dogs and cats as well as some birds could be woken up playing this too loud on a stereo system. Sometimes the Singer sounded like when Austin Powers put the CD on the Record player in the first movie. This Genre was mainly bought to piss off parents playing it way to loud by others as the music even by the people who bought it could not listen to it.
Love the content, but I’d never consider The Damned to be horror punk; Dave Vanian just liked to pioneer the goth look. Besides, you can’t be a horror punk band when you have someone like Captain Sensible front and center.
That's no help though is it? Punk can mean more or less anything these days. We need more categories not less. We need narrower categories and we need them now.
@@ProjectRevoltNow yeah, that's a good example. All in all, i think people should just listen to punk and discover the many expressions it has. I kinda dislike this type of videos that try to explain music and meme it, just listen to the music, let it speak to you!!
@@KRSGRIND I agree, I just enjoy music in general for what it is. Being too obsessed with obscure subgenres leads people down pointless rabbit holes (been there myself lol)
@@alexjulian222 egg punk is relatively new, cow punk goes back to the 80s but im not sure if it was called that back then, i think they were just referred to as psychobilly
Played in a cowpunk band called The Kinky Bastards in Texas for a couple of years. The vocalist was lost to suicide so young. Band was a lot of fun and I miss him a lot. If you're into cowpunk, there's videos of us on this site lol.
Thanks homie - I was the one with the yellow hollow body haha. It's about ten feet away from me as I type this. I miss him a lot. @@namebrandrobots1248
@@bigcheese2128 LOL !!! Reminds me of my buddies in the 90’s trying to classify all the new music! Your dad totally reminds me of these conversations with them! “That sounds like thrash-funk, not funk-metal! That’s more post-punk instead of actual punk! I’d classify this one as Grunge Rock, not Indy Rock! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!!! It’s HARDCORE not Death Metal!! They wear baseball hats!!!”
@@wackyruss I always found the over categorization in punk music kinda fascinating like I love knowing what specific differences there are between d beat and crust punk and mincecore and death grind and powerviolence and noisecore etc etc
In my opinion, one of the greatest “cow punk” bands would have to be The Gun Club. If any of you haven’t heard them, they’re definitely worth checking out! Unfortunately the band has a kind if sad history, but nonetheless, they absolutely shred!! Especially their album “Fire of Love”
@@kaue5028 That’s awesome man. It is my absolute pleasure to recommend them to you! I would love to hear your opinion on The Gun Club after you listen to some of their stuff (especially Fire of Love). 🤟😎🤟
@@shellymenzies841I loved the band. My wife spent the day listening to the Miami album while working at the university today. Such a shame I didn't know about The Gun Club before, I'm glad you shared it with us. Sometimes great bands end up not passing through our radar. Mother of Earth could easily have been covered by Johnny Cash.
I would love if this episode came with a playlist of tracks handpicked to represent each subgenre. But I guess utilizing music streaming services like that wouldn’t be very punk?
No mention of noisecore? I'm disappointed, not only is it the weirdest, stupidest and the best punk subgenre ever, it's also the logical end point for music.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a lifelong punk, this is the first time I’ve heard of egg punk. Knew all the other types of punk tho that were mentioned here. My battle hoodie has quite a few different punk genera’s on it in all the pins n patches along with types of metal. Like anybody listen to murder metal?
Egg Punk is cool. Gee Tee, Satanic Togas, Snooper, Prison Affair, Billiam, and Research Reactor Corp. are all sick examples. And there’s a lot of variation of the sound too
Same. The only bad I recognized of the bunch was Devo which I've always known as art punk along with bands like Television, Talking Heads, and Richard Hell and the Voidoids.🤷
@@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
There's A LOT more to eggpunk, my man, check out for example Goblin Daycare, Snooper, Adhesive, MILT I obviously cant say every bands' name, these are just the most RAD examples of what people can do with overdriven guitars with chorus, flangery vocals, SHITASS equipment and more
Glad that's over. I knew it'd be my turn to get made fun of eventually. And for my favourite punk sub-genre: hyper-emo. A genre that includes Cheem, and only Cheem. Sorry if anyone thinks that's wrong. Genres only exist to put albums in the right place in record stores.
