In the rare cases it is of serious nature it is sarcastic, such as the timeless classic I'm On Crack by the Dickies. Some popular Sugar-Core bands include The Dickies, The Ramones, Chewy And The Wrappers , Mr Mac And The P.C's , and Nerf Herder.

History Of Sugar Core

Sugar-Core was very popular with the mainstream radio in the late '70's, with bands such as The Ramones achieving extremely large amounts of sucess, and The Dickies following them. It all but died out in the '80's, and without the exceptional saving effort of bands such as Ginger Or Bust and Chewy And The Wrappers it would have completely disappeared. In the late '90s Sugar-Core saw an extremely large explosion in popularity in the underground with such bands as Mr. Mac And The P.C's and Nerf Herder.

It survives to this day with the efforts of Standoff and Bum Ruckus.
