Top Ten Punk Rock Sub-Genres

This is a list for the top ten punk rock sub-genres, such as pop-punk(Green Day, Sum 41, Blink-182) melodic hardcore(Bad Religion, Rise Against) etc... Note: This list is NOT for bands, it is for genres. Do not add bands.

The Top Ten

  1. Hardcore Punk

    Hardcore punk is a subgenre of punk rock that originated in the late 1970s in North America and the United Kingdom. It is characterized by its fast tempos, aggressive style, and socially conscious lyrics. The genre also gave rise to a strong DIY ethic and an influential subculture.

    One of the few subgenres where there is no doubt that it is 100% punk

    Understands what Punk ia really about, aggression and rebellion!

  2. Classic Punk

    I was actually thinking of making this list yesterday. But there is no "punk" style that stacks up against the classic sound of The Ramones, Clash, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, The Germs, and The Descendants.

    Classic punk is one of the best punk sub-genres. punk rock started from here

  3. Ska Punk

    Ska punk is not only my favorite punk rock sub-genre, but my favorite genre in general. Rancid(although they also fit into hardcore punk! ), Goldfinger, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, so many good bands. But really, everyone wins as long as its punk.
