For better or worse, the Tony Hawk Pro Skater games have been defined by their soundtracks almost as much as their levels and gameplay. After all, who doesn't think of pulling off a sweet kickflip to "Superman" by Goldfinger, or collecting S-K-A-T-E to "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead? If you've been wondering what songs will worm their way into your brain for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, wonder no longer. The full list is below:
Anti-Flag – "Stars and Stripes"
Atmosphere – "Southsiders"
Black Pistol Fire – "Hipster Shakes"
Bully – "Milkman"
Cloud Nothings – "I’m Not Part of Me”
Cold Cave – "A Little Death to Laugh”
Connie Price and the Keystones – "International Hustler”
Crass Mammoth – "All 149"
Deaf Poets – "Degenerate Mind"
Death – "Keep On Knocking"
Death From Above 1979 – "Virgins"

It's definitely a … different flavor than previous Tony Hawk games have had, mixing punk with dubstep and hip-hop. I think, in this news article about songs, it is itself a song that says it best: the times, they are a-changin'.
