Micro-genres in punkland

Stenchcore
Oi! Division (postpunk-ish oi!)

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.

Rapid Adapter

Here's that video essay, dude's calling it "Cold Oi!"

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...

Rapid Adapter I heard someone call Homefront “Cold OI!” a while back. Not sure if that tracks or not. They have more of a post-punk/street punk/oi!-ish sound than goth leanings imo. 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

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.

Thanks! That's gonna send me down a rabbit hole tho 🎧

Does Tiikeri fit in that scene?

Luc At Tomorrow

sicboy Not really

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).

Luc At Tomorrow

ratcharge Best translation I could come up with is "Lounge Crust". Also known abroad as Stadium Crust or Epicrust.

Luc At Tomorrow The French version is way better IMO

BARELY HUMAN

Luc At Tomorrow was recently given the rundown on Stadium Crust and thought of this thread!

Luc At Tomorrow

ratcharge It is, no question!

Skip Bail

Blaupunkt

Emil M. Antonowsky

Burning spirits hardcore

Luc At Tomorrow

Crasher crust

11th hour stubble

pizza punk (annoying burger records style party punk with imagery based around cartoony gross food)
freak punk (something I saw used around in Montreal and Toronto 5-10 years ago to describe weird punk meets hardcore with a flair for the dramatic and humorous)

JessVex

Remember when Turbonegro called themselves “Death Punk”? Ha!

Gimmie Sopor

Fake punk. I would also like to recommend under the radar Swizz fake punkers Ede & The Freewavers. The most inept act I've heard trying to cash in on the summer of '77 alongside Los Punk Rockers. Kinda sounds like a mix of X-Ray Spex and Teddy & The Fratgirls/Sheer Smegma.

Gimmie Sopor How would you describe fake punk? I hadn't heard the term till @sixbigboys played some (maybe you wanna weigh in too) on GIMH. Conceptually it's still murky for me.
