I take it as melodic 90's punk (FAT Wreck Chord/ Epitaph) bands. I have heard the sound being described as Cali punk. But suicidals are also often thrown into the genre, probably becasue the wrote songs about skating.
I think alot of the cali punk bands were called skater punk because the band member often skated, they wore similar styles of clothing, and there music was often featured in skate videos.
Dead Kennedys and Bad Brains, I really can't see why they would be called skater punk.
BTW I picked NOFX based on there first 4 or 5 albums.
