Skate rock is a genre in the skater subculture. That one seems kinda harsh.

Skate punk for sure, but I’ve never heard of anyone talk about a specific genre of “skate rock” at least not one with a defined sound and more just a general aesthetic of the subculture

Nice one putting Grebo in! Presuming that's a reference to PWEI etc here in the UK or is there some US scene of that name too? Nice quiz. Ta.

It is in reference to the British scene. Not too well versed in it personally but I always thought it was interesting and I love the name

I'd *really* like to listen to some Post-Jazz now. It sounds super smooth, atonal and wild. And Deathwave sounds like and even more depressive version of Darkwave.
