A Case for Hatching: My Eulogy for Egg Punk Explained by Martin Meyer

hotsounds lol “make a buck”

Randall

sixbigboys yeah I don’t think there are many bucks to be made anywhere near egg punk or chain punk or punk punk.
I couldn’t find my book this morning while getting ready for work so I grabbed Psychotic Reaction and Carburetor Dung to keep me off my phone at break time (clearly not working). Anyways been checking this thread between sessions of cutting wood with a dull blade. Sat down for my break and Lester is ranting and raving about copycats and boring music. Everything changes, everything stays the same. Someone comes along with a sharp blade cuts a new path then people keep going till eventually the blades too dull to cut anything, which reminds me it’s time to get back to work.

Randall Excellent take, excellent book!

Neon Taste Records

Well, one of the more popular Egg Punk bands is playing Coachella this year and they're not the one on Third Man. So maybe it feels like it needed to be called out. I do think this whole things reeks of someone being embarrassed about their past and trying distance themselves from it. Personally I think that that's the part that sucks. Like someone covering up tattoos. Live with it bub. And if you have to keep on saying "Who cares" while you're following up writing about it then you kinda do care a bit. It would have been better if he just came out and said "Snooper, you're doing shit we did better for people slightly cooler than Mac Demarco fans and it sucks."

Side note just in case - I have no horse in this race with Snooper. I think I've heard two songs and they were fine.

They were fine when they came out. I bought the 7"s and enjoyed them but I think they're long gone. So much of this stuff is like hard candy. It does the trick when you want it but a it's all just kinda sweet, no substance stuff and I'm quickly moving onto the next glittery thing or more likely, the next old thing I've not heard yet that I like a billion times more.

I guess I’m in wrong place. I saw the word “egg” and thought I was back on the breakfast thread.

Yeah they never made an impression on me. I saw them live and I will give it to them for being really tight. It’s pretty nuts that with just like 3 or 4 7”s they are playing Coachella so clearly they know more than I

FoolDiddly

going back to the original meme, I read this all as chain won the war

sicboy

FoolDiddly the chain was always meant to scramble the egg

connie v

Mark Smith

connie v each of mine i spend i dunno lets say 10 to 15 years.....

SAME. Like, literally.

sicboy

Maybe it's bc I was so far removed from current punk at the time, but the first time I even heard the term egg punk was from that meme poster. And I actually found cool bands from it lol

Nathan Loud

BRB, starting an egg punk band as soon as I can buy all my ideas readymade.

sixbigboys

I like Prison Affair fine, and, yeah, they were really good live. But I started to see them getting hyped in non-punk circles, and that was a bit of a head scratcher. Like why them over the other bands doing roughly the same thing? It’s gotta be their branding, right?

Also, that first Snooper record is good.

paperhose

hotsounds You are rad and do more for music in 2025 than most. Just from where I sit egg is not such a threat, but possibly I am wrong. Are the LES far right kids rocking out to egg punk?

There was also a movement called "indie sleaze" ten years earlier than shitgaze: strokes, yeah yeah yeahs, tv on the radio, oneida. Nobody called it that then though. There will be an official statement on this soon.
