Yes this is totally underrated as a 00's vibe. Its prime was probably 03 but generally 01-05.

Ex(?)-Inthe00s user JordanK1982 used to talk about this all the time  I think this trend started earlier than the early 2000s, perhaps as early as the mid-90s. The movie Kids (edit: not Airborne) came out in 1995 after skater punk music exploded onto the scene in 1994 selling millions. Of course we'd have to wait until 1999 and into the Y2K era for it to peak with Tony Hawk and that amazing video game! And then came the epic Sk8er Boi

And then came the epic Sk8er Boi Yeah I think this is one of those trends that existed for several years before blowing up in the mainstream. The banner at Disney in 03 is a great example of that. Through much of the 90's I'm assuming skateboarding would've still been seen as way too edgy for clean family entertainment. Though let's not forget this 2000 Disney classic

This iconic show Thinking about it some more, I'm changing my dates (as part of 'kid' culture) down to 99-04, not that it even matters. 05/06 in this context had kind of changed, though I'd say the culture influenced the popularity of this hairstyle at that time.

But yeah in the Y2K era it reached a whole new level of mainstream. And... I didn't even know that existed. Not sure if I want that in my life 🤔

al @slowpoke1993 Would either of you argue that this song from 1997 helped bring this subculture into the mainstream?

Captain Nemo That's a little before my time, I'm unfamiliar with their songs prior to their huge 1999 album. I'd say in general extreme sports were building in popularity in the late 90's (maybe earlier), like I remember a rollerblading trend even among adults when I was really young. It think skateboarding stopped being something you'd associate with slackers and grunge, instead held in a similar regard as say, mountain biking. Getting lumped together with rollerblading, surfing and (bmx) biking may have helped give it more legitimacy. Though if I really had to pinpoint one thing that propelled skateboarding into mainstream kid culture, I would 100% credit the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games.

I do think Green Day brought pop punk/skate punk into the mainstream in 1994 with their album Dookie. It peaked at #2 on the Billboard (back when album sales mattered), sold 20 million, won a Grammy in 1995, and pretty much every rock star since then has done a cover of Basketcase (I was actually introduced to Green Day by Avril Lavigne doing a cover of that song on MuchMusic (Canadian MTV) back in 2002 ) The Offspring also came out with Smash in 1994 which peaked at #4 and sold 11 million copies. Wikipedia says Warped Tour was established in 1995. I think this was the sort of culture that just got bigger and bigger as Y2K approached, reaching its zenith in (late) 1999 and into 2000 when Tony Hawk did a 900 and a video game named after him comes out, which was considered one of the greatest games of all time at the time of its release.

I remember "RADICAL XTREME" culture being marketed to me as early as my childhood memories go. However, it definitely peaked around 2001-2003, with American Pie's soundtrack consisting almost entirely of these pop punk bands. Then it all fed into emo around 2003 and 2004 (Fall Out Boy, Sugarcult, Silverstein, and on down the line).

So, if you guys can picture this. Back during 2002, I'm 14 years old, with spiked hair, playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on my PlayStation 2 while The Offspring plays on my gigantic triple decked CD player. It couldn't possibly get more early '00s than that.

I was only a very young kid during the time. From a Toddler to 6 years old kid. From Preschool to Kindergarten, The X-Sports/Mall-Punk was everywhere. It was definitely a escapism from the real world at that time (9/11, mini recession, The War in Afghanistan and Iraq, Anthrax, DC Sniper etc..) I do remember by the time I started 1st Grade in 2005, the Pop Culture specifically the Rock Culture was transitioning between the former(X-Sports/Mall-Punk) into the latter(EMO). By 2006, The fun, energetic, adventurous vibe of the Skate-Punk was entirely gone. The dark, depressing, bleak, mystique feel of EMO took its spot. I like Emo, however I prefer the fun, feel-good vibe of the Skate-Punk Era.

“Skate or die!” Was a phrase that was shouted in my middle school years many a time during the early to mid 2000s
This video hits the head what it was like to be in middle school then.

Malcolm in the Middle was the biggest example of this
