Pop punk, punk in general since the 90’s, metalcore, deathcore & all else you cover in that line sucks just as bad as their little kiddie clothes!!! Punk has not been relevant since the 80’s!! The rest have never been relevant in real music circles!! In fact, they all get made fun of on a daily basis & it’s well deserved!!! You want to cover punk, then cover relevant punk from days gone by, not this Green Day horse shit “punk” that’s wanting to be famous & win awards!!! These “groups” completely go the opposite direction of PUNK!!!

To bring the girl version of it to light, boy did I love the trends like wearing a tight tank top, ridiculously short pleated skirt and studded belt, perhaps a wallet chain, those white knee high socks and for some strange reason high heels? Wow. Such good fashion sense. Just wow. Also I had a Simple Plan arm sweatband 😅
Jeff Farley Oh god, I had suppressed the memories of how heavily I considered getting a tramp stamp back in those days, thanks for the reminder 😅 and don’t forget the navel piercing, they were a total must (mine’s closed now but I still have the shadow of the hole to haunt me)

As a 38 y/o Latino, I know why Dickies became so popular. When I was a kid, Dickies used to have stores in Latino neighborhoods where they sold defective Dickies. These Dickies cost real cheap, so a lot of Latinos began wearing Dickies. Oversized pants were the cheapest, so many bought the big pants, that's how the oversized pants became a thing. I remember as a kid, my mom would buy me oversized Dickies because I would eventually grown into them. I remember all my classmates wearing Dickies that they bought from the defective Dickies stores.
the sweatband on the forearm is to avoid guitar chafing. That style would require you to hang your guitar stupidly low, and you forearm would chafe against the corner of your les paul. Happy to help.
Especially with a band like blink it keeps punk alive and carries it forwards. Say what you will about the other bands but blink is on a whole nother level. They’re probably one of the best rock bands to exist in general.
I still rock Globe Sabres to this day. Get called a poser by the local younger skate-kids because I don't skate anymore but I gotta show love for my pop-punk roots
@@screamoemo2860 yeah I only get new shoes every couple of years and only because I drag them when I walk so I replace them when they get a hole in the bottom
The forearm sweatband thing started with guitarists. Wearing it on your strumming arm allowed you arm to consistently and predictably move against your guitar while playing for guys who play with their forearm touching the body of the guitar at times. You skin with stick to the guitar or get to slippery if you're sweating and it also offered a little padding. That's where it started, and then people just started doing it because, I guess they just thought it looked cool?
The forearm sweatband thing started with guitar players. Sometimes if you’re playing a guitar like a Les Paul, which has a relatively sharp edge, it can really rub on your arm. I had it happen to me. Especially if you’re wearing it super low, as was the fashion at the time. After a while non guitar players just started doing it.
To add to this, here's a video of Baroness performing in 2013. ruclips.net/video/U-FFJEDuhlE/видео.html John Baizley is clearly wearing one, and at about a minute and fifteen in, you can see that with the way he plays, the sweatband is repeatedly hitting the edge of his guitar. Given that Baroness has basically no connection to the Pop Punk scene that I'm aware of, and that the band is from Georgia and John himself is from Philly, I think it's safe to say that this is a fashion trend born from practicality.
I miss that whole thing before social media where magazines, album inserts, music videos and knock off skate videos gave you style. Im from rural England, it would take YEARS for trends to circle around, but ive got all the embarrasing photos to proove it now. Cheers Finn
God I'm feeling old. It feels like just yesterday I was wearing Hurley and McBeths. Listening to Blink 182 and Sum 41. Where did the time go? Thanks for reminding me I'm old. Lol.
Haha, no honey, I'm old. I was wearing old converse & flannels in the late 80's/early 90's going to Soundgarden & Alice in Chains concerts. I wouldn't want to be any other Gen than X.
right now im 14 and my style is more grungy but i listen to like blink 182 and sum 41 - and also newer gen e.g. yungblud and MGK.. hopefully it coming back !!
@@mayaking7261 90's style punk is alive and well in Australia thanks to bands like "the decline". But in general that 2000's sound is dead. Punk now a days is very fractioned. Most of it has gone to straight up skate punk ....my favorite band is "hit the switch" their new album "entropic" is a masterpiece. But there are several punk-n-roll bands (a particular flavor of pop-punk) like "masked intruder".
When Finn posted some of those IE bro photos on Instagram I messaged him telling him that I did not need to be triggered so early in the morning. It gave me flashbacks of fifth year high school students with SRH tattoos on their forearms 😐
I definitely did the more androgynous female version of this haha. It was like a mix between Blink-182 and Avril Lavigne. And you bet I never left the house without my sweatbands, usually with some #edgy teenage saying on it like, "go away" or skull and crossbones. And my Osiris shoes with the thick tongues. What was great was when this style and the scene/screamo scene collided. So you had dudes with Dickies and unnecessarily fat shoes with scene haircuts and neon monster merch shirts. Good times.
@writergrrl92 As someone that has Avril and Blink on my profile pic, I approve this comment, was just listening to Avril’s Under My Skin and Blink’s Self Titled the other day and they still hold up, was pissed when she made Girlfriend though
@@ronstoppable5659 totally agree! I was just jamming to Let Go the other day blasting that shit. Blink and Avril's early stuff definitely still holds up. I can't stomach Girlfriend, though my fiance likes it haha
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman bro I’m from la and I can say that you’re pretty much right about it except for the punk rock part. Punks have been wearing dickies and having that style since the 80s. Punk and gang culture has been mixed since the 80s. Just do a simple google search and look up suicidal tendencies. They wore dickies, Cortez and they also rocked bandannas. If you look at street punk you’ll have the spikes and the Mohawks and the right clothes. If you look at hardcore punk you get band t shirts and dickies with a baseball cap. We’ve been having that in LA since the 80s. O grew up with gangs around me before my neighborhood was gentrified.
Gabriel Mitchell my friend who doesn’t listen to Blink explained this to me a few years ago when I mentioned the album name. My mind was blown and I’m still not over it
I remember all this stuff, and trying desperately to look like Avril Lavigne, and vehemently denying it if anyone said I looked like Avril, but being secretly pleased. It's so good to be an adult and say "Yes, I got this outfit idea from Pinterest or a Japanese blog or whatever," with zero shame.
@Violet Soda I probably would’ve done the exact same thing if I was female, my crush on Avril (Along with Amy Lee) was partly responsible for getting me into music, I remember seeing the video for Losing Grip on TRL when I was like 11 and being in awe, now if you excuse me I’m gonna go pop in under My Skin and Fallen In my CD player like it’s still 2004
Sweatbands on the forearm are a guitar player thing. The sweatband on the picking arm ads comfort, reduces friction on the guitar while playing, and absorbs sweat from the constant contact with the guitar body when playing for long periods on a hot stage. All kids need is to see a photo of their fav guitar player wearing it, doesn't matter why, they just want to emulate the style.
Dudes in my high school 2010-2014 who were really into hip hop and didn’t know who Travis Barker was and probably wouldn’t have ever thought blink was cool on any level wore Famous Stars And Straps Regularly.
Hey I'm a 32 years old guy from Wales and I remember this scene really well.... it was really good times. but It didn't take that long for the trend to come here it started straight after the trend was set it just kinda lasted a long time lol
I was bassist is a crappy punkband and I was the one with black nails... did it because a populair friend used to paint his nails black, and girls seemed to like it. It's kinda worked :)
Bahah exactly. People would ask me why I had black nail polish and would be like "HEY - its okay - i'm in a band B) " ---> like it was some known thing that made perfect sense lol.
"Dude! Do you want to shave your balls?" "Ewwww...why would I want to do that!?!" "It makes the old Johnson look bigger..." They really need to do an Orgasmo commercial for this product.
I was legit a kid in like elementary school when this was a trend, but even growing up on the Connecticut coast, not only do I remember seeing these looks on TV, but on so many young adults in my town! Shows how much different cultures and trends from California not only spread over the states, but even the world. Loved the usage of the chart, especially since it wasn't your own like OG creation, but you explained its original intention flawlessly and used it to describe a similar trend, but in fashion! Such a smart and helpful thing to do for us as an audience and make us feel like we are learning more than just about guys in bands opting SoCal gang looks lol also totally forgot BFMV rocked the dickies back in the day holy crap!! But it does show how any big trends that start in the US will show up in the UK and EU like years later. Now stuff gets around so fast and there's so many people, I'm sure there are people out there now still rocking the dickies look lol Also is a Zumiez or Pac Sun really a store if they don't play early 2000s pop punk over the speakers? I don't think so, in my opinion. The brands are so tied to the bands I feel like, it's almost like they were meant to be at this point if you didn't grow up seeing it happen. Talking bout MTV so much, you should plug your amazing video about tbh. One of my favs and most nostalgic. Also, I only knew Travis' brand by seeing people wear it, but I had no idea so many people in the scene were starting their own brands and such. I guess just more ways to get money and revenue when they were at the top of the world, it's really smart tbh. Shows how much you still teach me in your videos, Finn! Also saying the haircuts were a way to not commit to punk 24/7 is 110% accurate, I love it. Also, early 2000s pop punk = punk boy bands? It makes sense lol you've made that comparison before. Makes even more sense with the haircuts considered lmao We can also probably chalk up the forearm sweatband trend to one or a few guys doing it, people thought it looked cool for whatever reason, and then just copied. As they say, great artists steal right?? All in all, learned alot this video like every video you do, can't wait for the next video, and also would love to see more scene fashion trend videos, maybe some on crustpunk or like 90s grunge? Can't wait man!
Sweat bands literally kept the sweat off your guitar. I played bass in a tech death band a couple years ago and got shit for wearing one but i had to wear one cause of how much sweat I was smearing all over the guitar. It’s really gross and uncomfortable lol
Yes, but the reason it was halfway up the arm is so your arm isn't resting against the guitar, like the wrist pads on mousepads to keep you from getting carpal tunnel. Goodish idea if your playing 200+ shows, idk if it works tho.
As a bass player, I wore the forearm sweatband to avoid chafing my sweaty right forearm as it rubbed against the body of my bass. But I can't explain my these guys did it.
I had the biggest crush on Tom Delonge, thought he was so cool hahahaha also as a girl (in Central America though) I would try to follow Avril Lavigne's fashion in early albums. Studded belt? ✔ Black converse with the sharpie checkers thing on the side? ✔ tank tops? ✔ baggy pants? ✔... I looked like an idiot, but I loved it and I have so many fond memories from that time.
One of the most hipster things I’ve ever said, but the zune was just ahead of the times. You could pay I think $15 a month and download unlimited music. Almost Spotify premium before Spotify premium. In high school i had over 10000 songs of mostly MySpace deathcore on shuffle 😓😂
Zune was soooooo badass! I broke my 3rd or 4th zune about 10 years ago and still upset about it cuz I cant replace it! 🤬 And they were ALWAYS better than any version of the ipod
I feel like the skate/mallwear brands and whatever Atticus was, may have taken off partially because their logos were simple and eye-catching, easily replicable and, if you didn't have access to a tonne of band tees (Hot Topic too far, already dried up the selection at the cd shop, mail order not necessarily the first idea), this was how you stood out as a "Rocker" nonetheless in high school at the time. Black shirt, white logo, I still squint at them to see if it's a band thing out of habit. Or maybe that was just me🤔
The so cal style influenced a lot of genres, deftones and some members of Korn did the khaki shants thing. Side note : Korn had an endorsement deal with Puma and there's a puma commercial with Serena Williams where they played Korn.
They must have had one with Adidas at some point I remember going to see korn in 2002 and Jonathan walked out on stage in an Adidas kilt in Scotland n we went mental. I always remember seeing chino from deftones in a dickies hoodie and wanting one still do almost 20 years later
About the sweat band, so I lived in England at the time of the early 2000s, I got into skateboarding and most of the fashion came from either skate videos or from pop punk/ punk bands. I remember a time we would all wear sweat bands , mostly skate brands but I remember a time when having an atticus one gave you a bit more of “street cred” (dumb , I know) so anyway, I think skateboarding culture and pop punk alt music have this kind of symbiotic relationship where they feed each other, especially when it comes to fashion. And for us at least the sweat bands had a purpose, as you would sweat a lot skating in the summer.
i’d love to see like a post hardcore/ warped tour bands “where are they now” video!! now that the golden years of that style are fading, what are they up to? bands like issues, of mice and men, dance gavin dance, circa survive, bring me the horizon, sleeping with sirens, attila, etc. would be super interesting to hear from your point of view! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Macbeth is really famous here in the PH. A lot of bands in my local scene, whether it be ska or alternative rock or metal, wear Macbeth stuff (mostly shirts and shoes) every time they perform in the hopes that Macbeth PH would take notice and give them some sort of sponsorship deal
if they want a sponsorship deal, they need to NOT where the brand. If you wear the brand for free, why would they want to also pay you? Play good music, and become something they want to tag their brand to.
I'd love to see a vid in this series on nu-metal fashion( oh, I'm cringing just thinking of it), 90s East Coast hardcore fashion, or crust/street/peacock punk fashion. Great content as alway, bro!
@@ThePunkRockMBA I don't think it's ever been "cool", but people do love them some nostalgia, and I'm gonna take a guess that your nu-metal related vids have gotten major views. I think the HXC or Street punk fashion breakdown would be more interesting, but if want the views, Nu-metal all the way.
I want to see the nu Metal fashion. It has some similarities to pop punk. Big awful wide jeans the gnco and similar, spikey hair, bondage gothy chokers and wrist accessories, painted nails, varying levels of makeup. And the band photos - they almost always had a guy posing with a sideways face.
Nice clip, as always! Greetings from Sweden! The sweatband on the forearm comes from basketball/streetball. Have it on the wrist and the ball can slide away when you make turns.
A friend once told me when BMTH went on the "final" I Killed The Prom Queen tour in Oz, they were apparently making four figures a night in just Drop Dead merch alone, let alone their own band stuff.
42 yo, wife, 2 kids, law firm, seeing this & being speechless - I STILL wear sweatbands on my (right) forearm EVERY! DAY! EVEN to work 😄 since ... I don't know. I didn't even connect it to "style" anymore. Why? It makes a skinny forearm look - wider, I guess. I'll always stay an AMERICAN PIE kid, laughing at Stifler's jokes & smiling when SUM 41 comes on in part 2. In Germany in the mid 90s, "Menace 2 Society" was THE movie to watch for the Skater kids (& the KIDS-movie, too) & the O-DOG character made DICKIES so f*ing popular here. Anyways, GREAT video.
This is why we love you mate. Looking at the contextual comparisons between the stuff we all like over here from your audience; being the music, and the business model that comes along with that. Establishing the idea of the innovators and early adopters etc, and then linking that to something that seems super irrelevant and telling us why it isn't so, is a super smart way to structure a video! Really goes to show it's good to have prior knowledge in all sorts of fields when making content
Glad you mentioned Tillys-we had one in Torrance (it’s still there next door to Whole Foods), and it was a place where moms could go and buy cool/hip/with-it stuff for their tweens/teens. The vibe was just edgy enough to make it cool (New Found Glory and Avril videos playing on TVs throughout the store, dudes working there had piercings), but not enough to alienate people who needed to pick up some Dickies for their server gig at a fast-casual place-very much in line with the pop-punk PG-13 vibe.
Holy shit I forgot that was even there. I remember being dragged by my mom to the one in Del Amo mall a lot too when I was a kid lol fuckin hated that place.
Robert Keenan indeed! But I think the bakery moved to old Torrance by the looks of it. Islands and Sushi Boy are still there, and the 24 Hour Fitness is absolutely decrepit now, but that’s pretty much the same stuff that’s still there besides the AMC.
As someone who spent a majority of his twenties decked out in long Quicksilver shorts coupled with a random BMX/Band tee shirt, this brought me back. Some of that stuff is super cringe now but man, I miss super soft and comfortable bulky skate shoes.
Fronz’s Stay Sick sells a ton, we printed so much of stay sick when I worked at EVR/merch now. It is literally one of the most sold brands at merch now lol
Man I related to all this so hard! Living in England when we get our one week of summer I love driving around blasting this era of pop punk and imagining I live in california
Can’t go wrong with surfing and skate brands! Never out of style. Hypebeasts nowadays are just catching up 😂! I’m on my late 30’s still wearing those brands.
The “sweatband thing”, for me, was to wipe the sweat/hair gel from your forehead before it got into your eyes while practicing in the band, performing or just skating with the buds after school. I remember I had one with the Yellowcard logo on it that I got from seeing them open for The Ataris, The Juliana Theory and Further Seems Forever, pre - “Ocean Avenue” era. Also had a Finch one.
seriously the manscaping tool is a godsend! my balls no longer look like a 70's porno close up! serious note, the forearm sweet band across the pond, we associated the sweatband on the wrist as being part of the 'old boys tennis club' so the common sweet bands were always black either with a band logo or a stripe further up the forearm, it kinda reminded you of the days when we used to have an end of year fight with a rival school and you would wear your school coloured tie on your forearm or wrist so you recognised who was on your side. well that's how it was in the area i grew up in anyways, it may mean different things to different people
Basketball popularized the forearm armband and I think the Punk scene adopted it. You could make an entire video on Hip Hop's influence on the Hardcore scene of the mid to late 90s. Everyone was wearing baggy Jean's, winter hats, hoodies, visors, backpacks, a ton of camo. I even ran into Lord Ezec from Crown of Thorns at a show and it was summertime and dude was wearing a down winter vest with ski goggles & shorts......LMAO!?!?!?!
Growing up in Canada in a low income family, I remember wanting to dress like these bands but I could never afford it, or find the brands locally. I spent so many hours in my room during middle school mutilating pairs of pants and making homemade logos with spray paint on plain t shirts to try and get The Look. 😂😂 (I wasn't a real girly-girl so I never did the whole tight jeans/skirts and tank top thing.) My absolute favorite was the sweatband thing, for some reason. I wore them pretty much all through high school, and I still kept some of them because I'm a nostalgic motherfucker.
as someone who never really loved blink and was growing up just as they were sort of falling out of fame, it's insane to learn how influential they were on so many levels other than music through your videos. they dictated way more of 90s-00s pop culture than i thought
The mystery of the forearm sweatband: it was used by band members to wipe off the sweat from your face quickly whilst playing a live show.. e.g. the guitarist playing riffs would quickly be able to wipe off the sweat and get back to rocking out more riffs. When playing live, the spotlights are very bright and hot and will make you sweat. It just also became a fashion trend. I used to wear it for both reasons!
I wore some of the sweatbands, there was brands like zero that were making them and they were convenient to wipe sweat from your face and eyes if you were a street skater in Phoenix az. They seem dumb now, and look silly, but for me they actually served a purpose of wiping sweat 👍
It wasn't so much that it took a long time to reach the UK (we had Kerrang TV and magazines), but rather the availability. The amount of shops selling alternative clothing was very minimal in the UK back then, and therefore adapted to choices which where regularly available, such as BB jeans, band hoodies (which was easily available via mail order) and skate trainers. I was 13 in 1999 and had been wearing long shorts with high socks for 2 years by then
Guilty as charged!! XD I got into pop-punk in 2000, 2001 ... I was a baby, I was jut 10!! XD And yeah ... I wanted to look like Mark and Tom from Blink-182. The whole 9 yards, the sideways cap, the sweat wrist bands (particularly the blue, white, red one that appeared in Sum 41's video for "Fat Lip"), vans and dc shoes (LOVED my dc's), baggy shorts, way too big pants with military pattern ... Jeez!! XD Sadly Hurley wasn't available in Mexico, or at least that I know of ... But Volcom was a must!! XD Great vid, boi, I really enjoyed this one!! Cheers from Mexico!!
I still dress based on my pop punk days. Now that I'm 30, I don't use spike bracelets/hair or chains, but definitely still Dickie's and black graphic tees.
I wore all of these just in the girl version aka dickies mini skirt with fishnets or tights. I wasn’t allowed to dye my hair so I used manic panic temp dye on top of my light brown hair. Because you know, I’m a rebel but only just a little bit. I practically lived in Hot Topic, Tilly’s, and Zumies in middle school/high school. I’m just thankful Facebook wasn’t a thing back then 🤦🏼♀️

Victoria Acevedo wait you have a ding dong?

The forearm sweatband thing started with guitar players. Sometimes if you’re playing a guitar like a Les Paul, which has a relatively sharp edge, it can really rub on your arm. I had it happen to me. Especially if you’re wearing it super low, as was the fashion at the time. After a while non guitar players just started doing it.
Exactly right.
I'd say that is it. I saw Rise Against two years ago and Tim actually stills wears those. It's right where the guitar hits the arm when he's playing.
I mean, sweat rubbing all over the guitar and your arm is gross. It’s not a fashion thing , it’s literally the sweat haha

Haha, no honey, I'm old. I was wearing old converse & flannels in the late 80's/early 90's going to Soundgarden & Alice in Chains concerts. I wouldn't want to be any other Gen than X.
right now im 14 and my style is more grungy but i listen to like blink 182 and sum 41 - and also newer gen e.g. yungblud and MGK.. hopefully it coming back !!
@@melissamissingchriscornell2513 that's awesome! team late-80s, signing in
@@mayaking7261 90's style punk is alive and well in Australia thanks to bands like "the decline". But in general that 2000's sound is dead. Punk now a days is very fractioned. Most of it has gone to straight up skate punk ....my favorite band is "hit the switch" their new album "entropic" is a masterpiece.
But there are several punk-n-roll bands (a particular flavor of pop-punk) like "masked intruder".
As some one who was a teenager in the IE in the early 00's, this video gave me PTSD (post traumatic scene disorder).
Murrieta 951
riverside
It’s pretty much the uniform out here in San Bernardino black shirt, cargo shorts, tall black sock and some vans
951 !!! BRAP BRAP do it for Deagon! Metal Mulisha !
When Finn posted some of those IE bro photos on Instagram I messaged him telling him that I did not need to be triggered so early in the morning. It gave me flashbacks of fifth year high school students with SRH tattoos on their forearms 😐
Can't believe this is just free on youtube, what a world we live in
I definitely did the more androgynous female version of this haha. It was like a mix between Blink-182 and Avril Lavigne. And you bet I never left the house without my sweatbands, usually with some #edgy teenage saying on it like, "go away" or skull and crossbones. And my Osiris shoes with the thick tongues. What was great was when this style and the scene/screamo scene collided. So you had dudes with Dickies and unnecessarily fat shoes with scene haircuts and neon monster merch shirts. Good times.
@writergrrl92 As someone that has Avril and Blink on my profile pic, I approve this comment, was just listening to Avril’s Under My Skin and Blink’s Self Titled the other day and they still hold up, was pissed when she made Girlfriend though
05-2010 best years of my life
@@ronstoppable5659 totally agree! I was just jamming to Let Go the other day blasting that shit. Blink and Avril's early stuff definitely still holds up. I can't stomach Girlfriend, though my fiance likes it haha
Me too! I dressed like Avril Lavigne and was obsessed with sum41 and simple plan.
Pop punk got their style from Skaters, skaters got it from street skaters, street skaters got it from ese's
Nope tons of punks and skins wore Dickie's shorts. Before they made shorts we rocked cut offs
Skaters barely started wearing Dickies cus u skaters r all posers who listen to social media telling u to wear them..
Punks did it first homie..
@@bettyvermont9352 no, skaters started wearing them cause there loose and durable not to mention can be wearer to most jobs
This is exactly what I was going to comment
@@JoshTheTechnoShaman bro I’m from la and I can say that you’re pretty much right about it except for the punk rock part. Punks have been wearing dickies and having that style since the 80s. Punk and gang culture has been mixed since the 80s. Just do a simple google search and look up suicidal tendencies. They wore dickies, Cortez and they also rocked bandannas. If you look at street punk you’ll have the spikes and the Mohawks and the right clothes. If you look at hardcore punk you get band t shirts and dickies with a baseball cap. We’ve been having that in LA since the 80s. O grew up with gangs around me before my neighborhood was gentrified.
oh look it’s how every boy I liked in high school dressed.
(Ashley) that’s exactly what I was thinking lol
I finally realized that “Take Off Your Pants and Jacket” is a pun
Gabriel Mitchell 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
🤯🤦♀️😆
Blink is easily my favorite band, and I only realized the pun like two years ago.
lol and then there's "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavoured Water"
Gabriel Mitchell my friend who doesn’t listen to Blink explained this to me a few years ago when I mentioned the album name. My mind was blown and I’m still not over it
As a young teenage boy, I was a big fan of the fingerless gloves girls started wearing in the 2000s
DWinsChannel they still do. its hot as fuck!
I remember all this stuff, and trying desperately to look like Avril Lavigne, and vehemently denying it if anyone said I looked like Avril, but being secretly pleased. It's so good to be an adult and say "Yes, I got this outfit idea from Pinterest or a Japanese blog or whatever," with zero shame.
I used to wear a white tanktop with a black-with-pink-guitars tie when I was in middle school lmao
Which era of her, Let Go or Under My Skin did you emulate? Because UMS Avril is still my celebrity crush
@@ronstoppable5659 All of them, if Avril was rocking a look, so was I.
@Violet Soda I probably would’ve done the exact same thing if I was female, my crush on Avril (Along with Amy Lee) was partly responsible for getting me into music, I remember seeing the video for Losing Grip on TRL when I was like 11 and being in awe, now if you excuse me I’m gonna go pop in under My Skin and Fallen In my CD player like it’s still 2004
Violet Soda you’re hot
Sweatbands on the forearm are a guitar player thing. The sweatband on the picking arm ads comfort, reduces friction on the guitar while playing, and absorbs sweat from the constant contact with the guitar body when playing for long periods on a hot stage. All kids need is to see a photo of their fav guitar player wearing it, doesn't matter why, they just want to emulate the style.
“Take your pants off and jacket” 😂 what a great blink reference 10/10
The amount of nostalgia I’m having right now is beyond the capacity of any chart... ever
My cousin in Italy still wears Hurley, Volcom, Quiksilver and Billabong, dude has never surfed a day in his life...
E tutti al bay fest ad agosto :)
Dudes in my high school 2010-2014 who were really into hip hop and didn’t know who Travis Barker was and probably wouldn’t have ever thought blink was cool on any level wore Famous Stars And Straps Regularly.
Travis was more about the cholo lifestyle rather than ska or punk so its not that weird.
@Cat playing guitar On a Guitar i know blink 182 and i know Travis Barker yes. Never said he was an actual Mexican
Hey I'm a 32 years old guy from Wales and I remember this scene really well.... it was really good times. but It didn't take that long for the trend to come here it started straight after the trend was set it just kinda lasted a long time lol

Did you purposely avoid the most obvious of this era:
Sagging boxers
Suicidal Tendencies fans rocked cholo gear alot in my day (mid 80's)
Surprised you didn't talk about how there was always at least one guy in the band who had black nails.
Shit! I actually did forget about that
I was bassist is a crappy punkband and I was the one with black nails... did it because a populair friend used to paint his nails black, and girls seemed to like it.
It's kinda worked :)
Why the Past tense?😹 If anything dudes have only branched out in colour choice
Painted my left nails black and my dad was pissed lolol
Bahah exactly. People would ask me why I had black nail polish and would be like "HEY - its okay - i'm in a band B) " ---> like it was some known thing that made perfect sense lol.
Finn: _Does shameless Manscaped promo_
Me: *My balls are ready!*
Also me: _leaves video to immediately check out promo ad _*_for the first time ever_*
"Dude! Do you want to shave your balls?"
"Ewwww...why would I want to do that!?!"
"It makes the old Johnson look bigger..."
They really need to do an Orgasmo commercial for this product.
vans, pulled up socks, fsas and baggy shorts, i still dress like this 😂
lmao hell yeah
Cringe!!!
Switch the vans for DC or Osiris High Tops with pulled up black socks and that's my attire.
Switch the t-shirt to Spitfire and we are rocking the same look
People who came here wanted to learn about fashion of early 2000’s pop punk bands and left to Google “Inland Empire”.
I was legit a kid in like elementary school when this was a trend, but even growing up on the Connecticut coast, not only do I remember seeing these looks on TV, but on so many young adults in my town! Shows how much different cultures and trends from California not only spread over the states, but even the world. Loved the usage of the chart, especially since it wasn't your own like OG creation, but you explained its original intention flawlessly and used it to describe a similar trend, but in fashion! Such a smart and helpful thing to do for us as an audience and make us feel like we are learning more than just about guys in bands opting SoCal gang looks lol also totally forgot BFMV rocked the dickies back in the day holy crap!! But it does show how any big trends that start in the US will show up in the UK and EU like years later. Now stuff gets around so fast and there's so many people, I'm sure there are people out there now still rocking the dickies look lol Also is a Zumiez or Pac Sun really a store if they don't play early 2000s pop punk over the speakers? I don't think so, in my opinion. The brands are so tied to the bands I feel like, it's almost like they were meant to be at this point if you didn't grow up seeing it happen. Talking bout MTV so much, you should plug your amazing video about tbh. One of my favs and most nostalgic. Also, I only knew Travis' brand by seeing people wear it, but I had no idea so many people in the scene were starting their own brands and such. I guess just more ways to get money and revenue when they were at the top of the world, it's really smart tbh. Shows how much you still teach me in your videos, Finn! Also saying the haircuts were a way to not commit to punk 24/7 is 110% accurate, I love it. Also, early 2000s pop punk = punk boy bands? It makes sense lol you've made that comparison before. Makes even more sense with the haircuts considered lmao We can also probably chalk up the forearm sweatband trend to one or a few guys doing it, people thought it looked cool for whatever reason, and then just copied. As they say, great artists steal right?? All in all, learned alot this video like every video you do, can't wait for the next video, and also would love to see more scene fashion trend videos, maybe some on crustpunk or like 90s grunge? Can't wait man!
Sweat bands literally kept the sweat off your guitar. I played bass in a tech death band a couple years ago and got shit for wearing one but i had to wear one cause of how much sweat I was smearing all over the guitar. It’s really gross and uncomfortable lol
I bet you also wear glasses to help you see! 😹 /s
Dude same. If I didn’t wear a sweatband when I played a show I would literally be rubbing the skin off my wrist and getting sweat all over my bass.
micro christ Oh shit Technical Death metal is my favorite Sub-genre of metal besides DSBM.
@@viscountrainbows6452 wtf is wrong with wearing glasses..
Yes, but the reason it was halfway up the arm is so your arm isn't resting against the guitar, like the wrist pads on mousepads to keep you from getting carpal tunnel. Goodish idea if your playing 200+ shows, idk if it works tho.
I love how fearless you were with your sponsor. I died laughing
As a bass player, I wore the forearm sweatband to avoid chafing my sweaty right forearm as it rubbed against the body of my bass. But I can't explain my these guys did it.
I normally hate ads, but I LOVE CREATIVE ANGLE YOU TOOK WITH MANSCAPING
My closet was filled with Hurley, Volcom, DC, Vans, and Etnies. Ahh the days.
I had the biggest crush on Tom Delonge, thought he was so cool hahahaha also as a girl (in Central America though) I would try to follow Avril Lavigne's fashion in early albums. Studded belt? ✔ Black converse with the sharpie checkers thing on the side? ✔ tank tops? ✔ baggy pants? ✔... I looked like an idiot, but I loved it and I have so many fond memories from that time.
It's like you just described me from about 1999 to 2001.
We are sooooooo cute :)
I was and still do love avril lavigne. Beautiful. Just thought that needed ti be said lol
One of the most hipster things I’ve ever said, but the zune was just ahead of the times. You could pay I think $15 a month and download unlimited music. Almost Spotify premium before Spotify premium.
In high school i had over 10000 songs of mostly MySpace deathcore on shuffle 😓😂
Dude you're totally right! The zune was great
Zune was soooooo badass! I broke my 3rd or 4th zune about 10 years ago and still upset about it cuz I cant replace it! 🤬 And they were ALWAYS better than any version of the ipod
I never had a zune but always wanted one
My brother had a zune and I loved it
Lol Microsoft Zune .... Terrible
I feel like the skate/mallwear brands and whatever Atticus was, may have taken off partially because their logos were simple and eye-catching, easily replicable and, if you didn't have access to a tonne of band tees (Hot Topic too far, already dried up the selection at the cd shop, mail order not necessarily the first idea), this was how you stood out as a "Rocker" nonetheless in high school at the time. Black shirt, white logo, I still squint at them to see if it's a band thing out of habit.
Or maybe that was just me🤔
The so cal style influenced a lot of genres, deftones and some members of Korn did the khaki shants thing.
Side note : Korn had an endorsement deal with Puma and there's a puma commercial with Serena Williams where they played Korn.
They must have had one with Adidas at some point I remember going to see korn in 2002 and Jonathan walked out on stage in an Adidas kilt in Scotland n we went mental. I always remember seeing chino from deftones in a dickies hoodie and wanting one still do almost 20 years later
@@jaimierobertson3898 yah I still like those clothes lol
About the sweat band, so I lived in England at the time of the early 2000s, I got into skateboarding and most of the fashion came from either skate videos or from pop punk/ punk bands. I remember a time we would all wear sweat bands , mostly skate brands but I remember a time when having an atticus one gave you a bit more of “street cred” (dumb , I know) so anyway, I think skateboarding culture and pop punk alt music have this kind of symbiotic relationship where they feed each other, especially when it comes to fashion. And for us at least the sweat bands had a purpose, as you would sweat a lot skating in the summer.
The “Atticus” shirt looked like a must-wear. I wish it would be revived, but with another name with a similar edgy font.
u can still find some atticus shirts and reprints
So just a completely different company lol
Gaw Dayum! Yeah.
i’d love to see like a post hardcore/ warped tour bands “where are they now” video!! now that the golden years of that style are fading, what are they up to? bands like issues, of mice and men, dance gavin dance, circa survive, bring me the horizon, sleeping with sirens, attila, etc. would be super interesting to hear from your point of view! 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Dance Gavin Dance are doing some really cool shit today. Really interesting sound

The word "dong" is so underrated
Macbeth is really famous here in the PH. A lot of bands in my local scene, whether it be ska or alternative rock or metal, wear Macbeth stuff (mostly shirts and shoes) every time they perform in the hopes that Macbeth PH would take notice and give them some sort of sponsorship deal
if they want a sponsorship deal, they need to NOT where the brand. If you wear the brand for free, why would they want to also pay you? Play good music, and become something they want to tag their brand to.
I'd love to see a vid in this series on nu-metal fashion( oh, I'm cringing just thinking of it), 90s East Coast hardcore fashion, or crust/street/peacock punk fashion.
Great content as alway, bro!
Thanks man! I hate everything nu metal related but it's what's cool now so I guess I should lean into it
@@ThePunkRockMBA I don't think it's ever been "cool", but people do love them some nostalgia, and I'm gonna take a guess that your nu-metal related vids have gotten major views.
I think the HXC or Street punk fashion breakdown would be more interesting, but if want the views, Nu-metal all the way.
@@steveurkel4561 Can confirm: I grew up in and never got over the nu metal era and will absolutely watch every video he releases about it
I want to see the nu Metal fashion. It has some similarities to pop punk. Big awful wide jeans the gnco and similar, spikey hair, bondage gothy chokers and wrist accessories, painted nails, varying levels of makeup. And the band photos - they almost always had a guy posing with a sideways face.
I love the Crustpunk look circa early 90's Losaida, but scabies...not so much!
I had the best time ever being an Atticus kid back in '03. The BEST time.
"what does your dong not have to do with pop punk?"
This is how you move units 😂😂😂😂
No pun intended
Nice clip, as always! Greetings from Sweden!
The sweatband on the forearm comes from basketball/streetball. Have it on the wrist and the ball can slide away when you make turns.
thank you for so many mentions of simple plan! i feel like they have always deserved more recognition, so this has made me feel very warm inside 🖤✨
@3:26 Serious MP3 player nostalgia with this pic. Brought me back to the days of my Creative Nomad player, Winamp, and Napster/ BearShare days.
This is more or less the style I tried to emulate in early elementary school
TRVSHBXVT same here😂
A friend once told me when BMTH went on the "final" I Killed The Prom Queen tour in Oz, they were apparently making four figures a night in just Drop Dead merch alone, let alone their own band stuff.
42 yo, wife, 2 kids, law firm, seeing this & being speechless - I STILL wear sweatbands on my (right) forearm EVERY! DAY! EVEN to work 😄 since ... I don't know. I didn't even connect it to "style" anymore. Why? It makes a skinny forearm look - wider, I guess. I'll always stay an AMERICAN PIE kid, laughing at Stifler's jokes & smiling when SUM 41 comes on in part 2. In Germany in the mid 90s, "Menace 2 Society" was THE movie to watch for the Skater kids (& the KIDS-movie, too) & the O-DOG character made DICKIES so f*ing popular here.
Anyways, GREAT video.
This is why we love you mate. Looking at the contextual comparisons between the stuff we all like over here from your audience; being the music, and the business model that comes along with that. Establishing the idea of the innovators and early adopters etc, and then linking that to something that seems super irrelevant and telling us why it isn't so, is a super smart way to structure a video! Really goes to show it's good to have prior knowledge in all sorts of fields when making content
🙏🏼
Glad you mentioned Tillys-we had one in Torrance (it’s still there next door to Whole Foods), and it was a place where moms could go and buy cool/hip/with-it stuff for their tweens/teens. The vibe was just edgy enough to make it cool (New Found Glory and Avril videos playing on TVs throughout the store, dudes working there had piercings), but not enough to alienate people who needed to pick up some Dickies for their server gig at a fast-casual place-very much in line with the pop-punk PG-13 vibe.
Holy shit I forgot that was even there. I remember being dragged by my mom to the one in Del Amo mall a lot too when I was a kid lol fuckin hated that place.
That’s the one next to the Torrance bakery, they made the best macaroons I have ever had!!! The Bakery, not Tillys lol
Robert Keenan indeed! But I think the bakery moved to old Torrance by the looks of it. Islands and Sushi Boy are still there, and the 24 Hour Fitness is absolutely decrepit now, but that’s pretty much the same stuff that’s still there besides the AMC.

This is among the first few times I don't skip an ad. Nice.
The sweatbands on the forearm is to remember that punk rock is the music that the jocks at school made in their basements and garages.
As someone who spent a majority of his twenties decked out in long Quicksilver shorts coupled with a random BMX/Band tee shirt, this brought me back. Some of that stuff is super cringe now but man, I miss super soft and comfortable bulky skate shoes.
Fronz’s Stay Sick sells a ton, we printed so much of stay sick when I worked at EVR/merch now. It is literally one of the most sold brands at merch now lol
Man I related to all this so hard! Living in England when we get our one week of summer I love driving around blasting this era of pop punk and imagining I live in california
Can’t go wrong with surfing and skate brands!
Never out of style. Hypebeasts nowadays are just catching up 😂! I’m on my late 30’s still wearing those brands.
The “sweatband thing”, for me, was to wipe the sweat/hair gel from your forehead before it got into your eyes while practicing in the band, performing or just skating with the buds after school. I remember I had one with the Yellowcard logo on it that I got from seeing them open for The Ataris, The Juliana Theory and Further Seems Forever, pre - “Ocean Avenue” era. Also had a Finch one.
seriously the manscaping tool is a godsend! my balls no longer look like a 70's porno close up!
serious note, the forearm sweet band across the pond, we associated the sweatband on the wrist as being part of the 'old boys tennis club' so the common sweet bands were always black either with a band logo or a stripe further up the forearm, it kinda reminded you of the days when we used to have an end of year fight with a rival school and you would wear your school coloured tie on your forearm or wrist so you recognised who was on your side. well that's how it was in the area i grew up in anyways, it may mean different things to different people
Damnit I was such a nerd.... but I would go back just for one night
Damn, I never thought I would see a manscape ad on a RUclips video, ever.
I actually took the dread locks baggy shorts " ano ba yun? yuung " converse Pop punk thing back in the early 2000's
Basketball popularized the forearm armband and I think the Punk scene adopted it. You could make an entire video on Hip Hop's influence on the Hardcore scene of the mid to late 90s. Everyone was wearing baggy Jean's, winter hats, hoodies, visors, backpacks, a ton of camo. I even ran into Lord Ezec from Crown of Thorns at a show and it was summertime and dude was wearing a down winter vest with ski goggles & shorts......LMAO!?!?!?!
"this boys greet their dad as though if they are genuinely happy to see him"
Growing up in Canada in a low income family, I remember wanting to dress like these bands but I could never afford it, or find the brands locally. I spent so many hours in my room during middle school mutilating pairs of pants and making homemade logos with spray paint on plain t shirts to try and get The Look. 😂😂 (I wasn't a real girly-girl so I never did the whole tight jeans/skirts and tank top thing.)
My absolute favorite was the sweatband thing, for some reason. I wore them pretty much all through high school, and I still kept some of them because I'm a nostalgic motherfucker.
"..some bros from Riverside." Painfully accurate, hahaha.
M Porter forgot the lifted truck part
Suicidal Tendencies were rocking the Dickies shorts and long socks, long before those lil kids.
as someone who never really loved blink and was growing up just as they were sort of falling out of fame, it's insane to learn how influential they were on so many levels other than music through your videos. they dictated way more of 90s-00s pop culture than i thought
Me: **Sees today's sponsor**
Also me: **American Pie 3 flashbacks**
Literally anything Tom Delonge wore
When you mentoined drive thru records you shouldve mentioned the baggy jeans, bootcut jeans. Exampel Band like finch
I totally forgot about the sweatbands... i wore a black and white checkered sweatband all thru middle school. Only took it off to take a shower lol
The mystery of the forearm sweatband: it was used by band members to wipe off the sweat from your face quickly whilst playing a live show.. e.g. the guitarist playing riffs would quickly be able to wipe off the sweat and get back to rocking out more riffs. When playing live, the spotlights are very bright and hot and will make you sweat. It just also became a fashion trend. I used to wear it for both reasons!
and they're great for covering yer track marks. Better looking than a grip of band-aids, for the undercover junkie.
I wore some of the sweatbands, there was brands like zero that were making them and they were convenient to wipe sweat from your face and eyes if you were a street skater in Phoenix az. They seem dumb now, and look silly, but for me they actually served a purpose of wiping sweat 👍
I definitely had some Zero skull ones! 💀
As a 32 year old 2000s punk kid with an MBA in finance I love you videos. You nail everything about 2000s pop punk.
Thank you!
Great video. The only thing I would add is the sideways flexfit hat.
I was literally just trying to find a Hurley flexfit hat the other day lol
Literally stopped the video to comment how amazing that ad for manscaped was!!!!! “Take off your pants and jacket”. Genius.
It wasn't so much that it took a long time to reach the UK (we had Kerrang TV and magazines), but rather the availability.
The amount of shops selling alternative clothing was very minimal in the UK back then, and therefore adapted to choices which where regularly available, such as BB jeans, band hoodies (which was easily available via mail order) and skate trainers.
I was 13 in 1999 and had been wearing long shorts with high socks for 2 years by then
Guilty as charged!! XD I got into pop-punk in 2000, 2001 ... I was a baby, I was jut 10!! XD And yeah ... I wanted to look like Mark and Tom from Blink-182. The whole 9 yards, the sideways cap, the sweat wrist bands (particularly the blue, white, red one that appeared in Sum 41's video for "Fat Lip"), vans and dc shoes (LOVED my dc's), baggy shorts, way too big pants with military pattern ... Jeez!! XD Sadly Hurley wasn't available in Mexico, or at least that I know of ... But Volcom was a must!! XD
Great vid, boi, I really enjoyed this one!! Cheers from Mexico!!
I still dress based on my pop punk days. Now that I'm 30, I don't use spike bracelets/hair or chains, but definitely still Dickie's and black graphic tees.
I wore all of these just in the girl version aka dickies mini skirt with fishnets or tights. I wasn’t allowed to dye my hair so I used manic panic temp dye on top of my light brown hair. Because you know, I’m a rebel but only just a little bit. I practically lived in Hot Topic, Tilly’s, and Zumies in middle school/high school. I’m just thankful Facebook wasn’t a thing back then 🤦🏼♀️
Woah I did not expect Philippines' Slapshock to be here. Hahaha. As always this is so educational & entertaining for me as I was growing up listening to Pop-punk and Nu-metal back in the day.
