Music
The majority of Kung Fu's releases are categorized as pop punk, blending the rebellious and independent attitude of early punk rock with more pop-based melodies and song structures. Musically Kung Fu shares aesthetics with other southern California record labels such as Epitaph Records, Nitro Records, and Fat Wreck Chords, all of which have rosters rooted in the 1990s punk rock revival, particularly emphasizing bands that originated in southern California. As the label has grown it has branched out, and in 2005 spawned the spinoff imprint Broken Sounds Records to focus on more hardcore acts (see below).

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“We often love to think now of the life of men on beaches,—at least in midsummer, when the weather is serene; their sunny lives on the sand, amid the beach-grass and bayberries, their companion a cow, their wealth a jag of driftwood or a few beach plums, and their music the surf and the peep of the beech-bird.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For the introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state; since styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
“My love shall hear the music of my hounds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
