All this fake punk discourse is top notch. Look for me stealing the best parts for a post on my bluesky. Can almost feel the bullshit think piece intro forming in my head "Stewart Home called all punk rock novelty music, but..."

In addition to Gotlands Teater - Rockpojken, I know of three more Swedish records/songs that can be categorized as fake punk.


Skatepunk
Thrashcore
Skatecore
Bandanathrash
Punkcore (ouch)

A couple of my favourite punkspolitation / comedy records. Both the 7"s of these are cheap too!

The real question is whether any microgenres will come about from this board, like how the phrase "Mysterious Guy Hardcore" was coined on Terminal Boredom.

I don't know about punk.
But I know what I like.

By the way, did I read about the revival of 90's Budget rock recently?

Gimmie Sopor Pack (led by former Amon Düül II member Jörg Evers). Older guys with a background in 60s rock'n'roll and psych

This speaks to me, thank you.

    Gimmie Sopor well also FU2’s lyrics are definitely a piss take on punk, which is part of what makes that album so fantastic
