Punk rock

Social Distortion is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Sonny Curtis, Agent Orange, Youth Brigade, The Joy Formidable and The Valentinos. Those roots explain a lot about how Social Distortion arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Bad Religion, NOFX, Street Dogs, Tiger Army and Lagwagon, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Mark Hoppus, John Feldmann, Adolescents, Candye Kane and Guttermouth, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 53 connections around Social Distortion, reaching back through Sonny Curtis and forward to Mark Hoppus.
