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:
“Have you ever been up in your plane at night, alone, somewhere, 20,000 feet above the ocean?... Did you ever hear music up there?... It’s the music a man’s spirit sings to his heart, when the earth’s far away and there isn’t any more fear. It’s the high, fine, beautiful sound of an earth-bound creature who grew wings and flew up high and looked straight into the face of the future. And caught, just for an instant, the unbelievable vision of a free man in a free world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“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)
“The train was crammed, the heat stifling. We feel out of sorts, but do not quite know if we are hungry or drowsy. But when we have fed and slept, life will regain its looks, and the American instruments will make music in the merry cafe described by our friend Lange. And then, sometime later, we die.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
