Definitely. And as to the topic of genres, there’s Classic Skaterock, and everything else that has yet to be labeled.

Skating and music are always going to be matters of personal taste. Cool to see somebody interested in delving into that relationship.

I don´t see a limitation style-wise, although I personally prefer the style of early to mid-80s US HC/Punk, combined with some metal influences here and there.

Other possible definitions:
What about skatevideo soundtracks? I´d say no, except the bands have a connection to skateboarding themselves. What about having a skateboard on the cover? That would make INXS a skaterock band. What about having a skater in your band? I guess the 80s saw more (punk)bands with skaters than without, esp. in California. What about having a pro skater in your band? I don´t think Tom Knox´s band MOLOKO MEN would call themselves skaterock. What about music you can skate to? I´d say no, because the listener would decide, not the band. I remember Rodney Mullen skating to some classic music (Mozart or Beethoven, can´t remember). And those two guys were definetely not skaterock, because the skateboard was invented decades later. What about the stuff that was featured in Thrasher Mag? I´d say not generally, because I remember seeing an article about U2 in an old 80s issue for example. What about bands on the Thrasher Tapes? I´d also say not in general, because some of those tapes were good but pure Hardcore compilations without any connection to skateboarding. It is really tough.

Anyway I´d use a very freely definition for my posts here (without calling it Skaterock automatically). There just has to be a connection between music and skateboarding … cheers

But that raises a good question. What is the definition of skaterock? Is it any band in any genre that sings about skateboarding? Or is it any band that has a member that skates? Or all of the above? Doc, how do you decide what bands to cover?
