Editing Dwarves (band) (section)

==Musical style==
The Dwarves are known for their simple, loud, yet nuanced punk repertoire, and controversial lyrics. Since the garage punk sound of their early days, they developed a more direct [[hardcore punk]] sound, often identified as "[[scum punk]]" due to the intentional perversity of the lyrics. Around the turn of millennium, the Dwarves developed more of a manic [[pop punk]] influence. Bits of [[hardcore punk|hardcore]], [[surf rock]], [[pop music|pop]], [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]], and [[rock 'n' roll]] all factor into the band's current punk rock sound.

Their shows have been notable for some aggressive fights on stage (with the audience and even a cop), and because HeWhoCannotBeNamed performs either in nothing but a jockstrap or totally nude, apart from his trademark "Rey Mysterio" wrestling mask.<ref name="Gentile" />
