What is Streetpunk?
1.
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.
Iron Cross: HEIL HITLER!

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.
streetpunk is a great genre if you know what bands to listen to
