Also Shitgaze is something I distinctly associate (for better or worse) with Siltbreeze.

Beardcore/orgcore (I got a whole lot of feelings and opinions about this one, not least the names makes me feel queasy)

    Allez Al does this generally refer to bands that play FEST?

      sicboy yeah, that sorta gruff Leatherface-y, kinda post-hardcore-y but also a bit pop- punk-y party focused stuff. By the time the genre names arrived it'd entered a new wave and Springsteen became more of an influence than say Crimpshrine.

      Also, cannot believe (with the heritage of this board) no-one has said CLOWNING ON BITCHES yet.

      Action rock. There seems to be a mini revival going on (ugh!). Here in Gothenburg I know of at least three new(ish) bands with pretty young members that worship flames, eightballs and Nicke Andersson's non-existent hairline.

      RE: Oi! Division
      Yeah, that whole "Early Blitz meets late era Blitz" is definitely a thing now. I never thought "New Age" could sustain a whole genre. Somebody made a YouTube video essay about it.

      First time hearing the term Oi! Division lol. I tend to like a lot of the bands doing that style and I never put together that name.

      haha yeah I heard a reference to the deification of Blitz's "New Age" recently but they should really bow down to the Effigies from "Forever Grounded" onward!

      Since we are getting so micro: any Finns here? I heard some reference to a Finnish sub-genre mentioning this band - so kind of riffy twee punk/pop...

      I though the word was "rössö" punk but that means "scumbag" in Finnish(?)
      Joni Ekman would seem to be right in that area also...

        I've discussed it with a couple of Finns when I stayed in Finland last summer. It's "nössöpunk", a term used to describe softer melodic Finnish pop punk, as opposed to the raw hardcore punk Finland is often known for. One of the pals I was hanging out was referring to it as "wimp punk". Some bands include Teini-Pää, Kaikki Turhat Haaveet, etc.

          In France we also have a term for bands playing post-Tragedy melodic d-beat/ crust : we call them « crust de salon », which means « living room crust » (as opposed to « gutter crust » or something like that).
