The Impact of K-Rock and the Californian Vibe

K-Rock, the alternative rock music station, holds significant importance in Los Angeles and beyond. It became a platform for breaking new bands and setting the tone for alternative rock stations across the country. Sublime, hailing from Long Beach, California, was deeply influenced by K-Rock and the local music scene. The band's Californian vibe, blending elements of reggae, punk, ska, and rap, resonated with the beachside suburban culture of Long Beach. Sublime's music captured the essence of the area, where youth embraced an on-we and punk ethos, hanging out at the beach, smoking weed, and attending local house parties.
