LOTS MORE PUNK STAMPS! (part 2)

I am really late for the holiday spirit, but I got something for you folks. Remember the punk stamps I made many months ago? It finally got a sequel with MORE MORE MORE punx! Part 3 here

Surf punk - if surf rock isn't enough. Try out surf punk, examples: Agent Orange, some songs of The Cramps, Adolecents

Pop punk - Pop infused punk, really energetic. while some have political themes like Green Day's American Idiot. Most pop punk are more introspective, personal, or something teenagers relate to. Examples: Green Day, Ramones, Buzzcocks, Descendents, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Blink 182, Sum 41, Bowling for Soup

Punk Jazz - I can't find bands that actually present themself as punk jazz but there are punk and post punk bands that incorporate jazz elements. Examples: Midori, The Birthday Party, Lydia Lunch, Nomeansno, Minutemen, James Chance and the Cortortions

Punk Rap - Hip hop or rap blend with punk, may either have punk music with it or just rapping but really punk themes. Examples: Beastie Boys, Body Count, City Morgue, Ho99o9, Death Grips, Bob Vylan, Moscow Death Brigade. I was going for an urban feel when making the stamp

Psychobilly - Overlaps with horror punk when it comes to themes but takes elements from rockabilly and 50s rock and roll. Examples: The Cramps, Nekromantix, The Brains, Batmobile. Stamp inspired by 50s-70s b-movie posters.

New Wave - yes, it came from punk, art punk, post punk, and dance punk. More pop sounding. Examples: Blondie, Duran Duran, Tears for Fears, Adam Ant, A Flock of Seagulls, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys. Stamp made to be the most 80s thing as for me, new wave is just peak 80s music

Shaman Punk - a punk subgenre that blends psychedelic rock, folk, and punk with shamanic, esoteric themes. Currently, the only band that fit this genre is the Hungarian folk punk/psychedelic rock band, Vágtázó Halottkémek (Galloping Coroners) and it's folk counterpart, Vágtázó Csondaszarvas (Galloping Wonderstag). Stamp inspired by most of Galloping Coroners' albums.

Riot Grrrl - feminist punk rock movement. Examples: Bikini Kill, Bratmobile, Slant 6, Excuse 17, Jack Off Jill, Heavens to Betsy

Queercore - LGBTQ+ punk movement, punk with LGBTQ+ themes. Examples: GLOSS, Limp Wrist, Pansy Division, Against Me, HIRS Collective/HIRS, GEL

Post Hardcore - From hardcore punk that lead more experimentation. Examples: Husker Du, Fugazi, Underoath, Alexisonfire, Saosin, Silverstein. I kinda made some minimal landscape for the stamp (as i don't know what to put).

Cybergrind - If Digital Hardcore felt like a cyberpunk fight music for your Cyberpunk 2077 gameplays, Cybergrind is more of a terrifying cyberpunk experience, think of I have no mouth and I must scream and Tetsuo the Iron Man. Electronic music blend in with grindcore (again, i placed grindcore for punk instead of metal because of its punk roots). Examples: Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Genghis Tron, Gigantic Brain, The Berzerker, Phantomsmasher/Atomsmasher

Garage Punk - Garage rock of the 60s + punk rock. Garage punk stamp was just made simple because most covers i see is quite minimal or has band photo. Examples: The Mummies, Dead Moon, Jay Reatard, The Exploding Hearts, The Dirtbombs, Davila 666

Emo Pop - This is what mainstream think about emo, which is actually emo pop. For the original genre, emotional hardcore, I have it on my part 1 of my punk stamps. Bands associated with emo pop: My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Paramore

Dark Cabaret - inspired by Weimar-era cabaret, vaudeville, and burlesque music mix with punk, rock, and gothic genres. Dark lyrics, sometimes have a "steampunk" or "circus" vibe with it.

Punk Cabaret examples: Humanwine, The World Inferno Friendship Society

Jazzy dark cabaret: Jill Tracy

Dark Cabaret: The Tiger Lilies, Circus Contraption, Caravan of Thieves, Vagabond Opera, Kabaret Sybarit

Steampunk Cabaret: The Cog is Dead

Gothic dark cabaret: Cinema Strange, Bojler, Shadow Project, Aurelio Voltaire, some Sopor Aeternus songs...

Art Punk - experimental punk genre that isn't going for the 3 chord and more avant garde. Decided to give off some "contemporary art" inspo for the stamp. Examples: Television, Talking Heads, Wire, Minutemen, Cardiacs, Fugazi

Cowpunk - Country punk, western themes, red dead redemption, yeehaw, cowboys and stuff... Examples: Meat Puppets, Social Distortion, Dead Milkmen, The Gun Club, Supersuckers

Dance Punk - upbeat, dancable punk music. Examples: LCD Soundsystem, Gang of Four, Public Image LTD, Viagra Boys, Franz Ferdinand, Le Tigre

Beatdown Hardcore - coming from hardcore punk but slower, more emphasis on palm muted guitars and breadowns. Aggressive, coming from the "tough guy hardcore" genre. Almost sounding like metal than punk. Has elements of hip hop and shares similar aesthetic. Musically similar to Slam Brutal Death Metal with the chugging minus the growls. Music that should play in Salty Spitoon because it was so tuff. Examples: Knocked Loose, Shattered Realm, Cold as Life, Irate, Xibalba, Bulldoze, Kublai Khan

Less Of Me - Teenage Jesus and the Jerks

Pure No Wave nihilism packed into a sonic assault
