What kind of music do you wanna hear while you play skate?
Some nujabes would be nice
Ooh, that's a discussion for an hour or two 🌚 Overall I totally agree that a variety of genres should be represented. Growing up music exploration was a huge part of games for me. I'll be forever thankful to Tony Hawk's series (sorry, no consoles for me back then) for it's influence on my music taste, and especially for hidden gems i would probably never find myself (Voltera, 25 Ta Life, The Channeling, Typical Cats) As personally for me skating irl - Depends on the mood and the activity. Turnstile, Idles, Soft Play, Drug Church, Casualties, AFI, Leföver Crack, Transplants, Comeback Kid Black flag, Minor Threat, Rhites Of Spring, Rancid, Misfits, The Clash, The Addicts, Anti-Nowhere League, Cock Sparrer, Nothington, Buzzcocks, Crass, Dead Kennedy's Knocked Loose, Kublai Khan TX, King 810, Harms Way, Thrown, Hatebreed, Darkthrone. The Animals, Violent Femmes, Zager & Evans, the list goes on.
Echoing what others have said, the Skate soundtracks were hugely influential on my taste in music. I'd love a good mix of hip hop, rock, punk and ska. Some ska callouts - Kill Lincoln, Catbite, Hans Gruber and the Die Hards, BAD OPERATION, The Interrupters, Backyard Superheroes, Flying Raccoon Suit 🤘
What I really liked about the Skate 3 soundtrack was det diversity of genres. It enabled me to explore different genres and listen to stuff I usually wouldn’t pick. Skate 3 has definitely shaped my music taste as it is today and for that I would say - keep it mixed and shuffled with a lot of different music. Both rock, hip hop, punk, metal and everything in nuances of that. I really like the more hippie-ish 60s/70s sound like the Going Up The Country by Canned Heat, but I also enjoy Shimmy Shimmy Ya by Ol’ Dirty Bastard! That’s what makes the soundtrack in Skate 3 shine in my opinion. Oh and since DnB and Jungle is super popular atm, that would be really cool to hear in there as well.
Linkin Park, Green Day, Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, Volbeat! Hear me out; REZZ, deadmau5, Anri, Metro Boomin, Anything J-K Pop tbh Also agreed with above, Skate has felt like hard rock vibes and just getting the zone! Having variety outside of the genre could be huge for Skate! Excited for what the team comes up with!
My skate soundtrack IRL is always one of two things: hardcore like Refused, Snapcase, AFI, Rise Against, or else hip-hop like Doomtree, Shredders, Tribe, etc. looking at this list all these bands are old, but I guess I am too so that tracks lol
Hetta, Soul Glo, Kumo 99, Model/Actriz, Gilla Band, Alien Chicks, Black Midi, Squid, Snõõper, MAQUINA. , Fleshwater, Fontaines D.C. , shame, Jockstrap
I think you should keep it how it’s always been.. use music from the most iconic pro edits from between the skate 3 launch to now
No Pressure, Wreckage, Righteous Jams, Turnstile, Shelter, Koyo, Anxious, Militarie Gun
