The Dickies is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Toy Dolls, Devo, Iggy Pop, The Stooges and The Damned. Those roots explain a lot about how The Dickies arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Rezillos, The Queers, Dead Boys, The Vandals and Generation X, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Cliff Martinez, The Queers, Joey Ramone, Goo Goo Dolls and The Offspring, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
