Punk and Hip Hop Skateboarding Music

Roughly a third of the tracks are instrumental and the rest have vocals, several of them flagged EXPLICIT in the title. Instrumentals include The Use's "Ripe", Egadz's "Psychicato" and K Theory's "Watch Me Kill It (Instrumental)", while the explicit vocal cuts include Have Nots' "Louisville Slugger (vocal) EXPLICIT" and pH10's "4PM (Original Mix) (vocal) EXPLICIT". Independent skate parts can use the explicit tracks; brand edits and youth programs should stick to the clean vocals or the instrumentals.

Punk rock dominates, backed by underground and old school hip hop and a celtic rock strand, with single tracks touching funk, dubstep, post-rock and progressive. The sounds-like tags name Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly and The Pogues for the celtic punk side, Diplo for the beat-driven cuts and Fall Out Boy for the pop-leaning punk. Percussion and electric guitars run through nearly everything, and the mood profile is overwhelmingly exciting with swagger and anger behind it.

Tracks average about three minutes twenty seconds, which lines up with a full-length skate part and gives room for an intro, the main clips and an ender without looping. For a 30 to 60 second social clip, take the most aggressive section and cut tricks to the drum hits rather than trying to fit a whole song. Percussion leads almost every track here, so the hits are easy to find and easy to edit against.

Punk rock and hip hop anchor it, not generic high-energy EDM or arena rock. The celtic rock cuts in the Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly vein give it a rowdy edge, and the underground hip hop instrumentals give filmers a beat-driven option for slower, technical lines. Themes are tagged action and stadium sports with a smaller streak of night life, city life and everyday fashion, so it fits street footage and skate brand lookbooks as well as park edits.
