Ginn claims to have never genuinely enjoyed rock music during his youth, believing it to be "just trying to interject some kind of legitimacy into making three-minute commercials."<ref>Azerrad, Michael. ''Our Band Could Be Your Life''. 2001. Little Brown Books''. pp. 15.''</ref>

==Musical career==
===Black Flag===
{{BLP unreferenced section|date=October 2024}}
{{main|Black Flag (band)}}
[[File:Greg Ginn (Black Flag) (Ruhrpott Rodeo 2013) IMGP5891 smial wp.jpg|thumb|Ginn performing with Black Flag in 2013]]
Black Flag is an American hardcore punk band formed in 1976 in [[Hermosa Beach, California]]. The band was established by Ginn, the guitarist, primary songwriter, and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes in the band.  They are widely considered to be one of the first hardcore punk bands.  After breaking up in 1986, Black Flag briefly reunited in 2003 and again in 2013.  Black Flag's sound mixed the raw simplicity of the Ramones with atonal guitar solos and frequent tempo shifts.  The lyrics were written mostly by Ginn, and like other punk rock bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Black Flag voiced an anti-authoritarian and non-conformist message, in songs punctuated with descriptions of social isolation, neurosis, poverty, and paranoia.  These themes were explored further when [[Henry Rollins]] joined the band as lead singer in 1981.  Most of the band's material was released on Ginn's SST Records.

===Dale Nixon===
{{anchor|Dale Nixon}}
"''Dale Nixon''" is a pseudonym and [[multiple-use name]] originally used by Ginn to obfuscate the fact that he played bass on the later Black Flag albums, ''[[My War]]'' and ''[[What The...]]''  It has since been used by other artists (typically punk) to appear on albums without being in breach of record label contracts that stipulate label exclusivity.  Other artists using the "Dale Nixon" moniker include [[Dave Grohl]], who filled in on drums for the 1992 EP, ''[[King Buzzo (album)|King Buzzo]]'', and [[Brian Baker (musician)|Brian Baker]], a founding member of [[Minor Threat]], credited as Nixon on the 1992 [[Dag Nasty]] album ''[[Four on the Floor (Dag Nasty album)|Four on the Floor]]''.  The name appears once again, listed as a bass player, on the [[Ryan Adams]] album ''[[Orion (Ryan Adams album)|Orion]]''; it is likely Adams himself, or his sound engineer, Charlie.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}

==Legacy==
Many artists have cited Ginn as an influence or have expressed their admiration for him, including [[Buzz Osborne]] of [[Melvins]],<ref>{{ cite web | access-date = April 2, 2017 | url = http://www.avclub.com/article/melvins-buzz-osborne-picks-songs-by-bands-that-wer-200741 | title = Melvins' Buzz Osborne picks songs by "bands that were good, but blew it" | first =  Marah | last = Eakin | publication-date = January 7, 2014 | quote = [...] Greg Ginn was certainly a huge influence on my guitar playing.

==Equipment==
{{BLP unreferenced section|date=October 2024}}

===Guitars===
Ginn's earliest guitar was a ''Ampeg Dan Armstrong'' electric guitar. He eventually started using an ''Westone Spectrum SX'' and ''Modulus Graphite Black Knife Stratocaster'' guitars in later albums.

===Amplification===
He would play both guitars through a head amp ''Peavey Series 260 Standard PA'' and ''Ampeg SVT-410HLF bass cabinet''.

===Effects===
Ginn never uses any effects or distortion pedals, as depicted in the ''[[Nervous Breakdown (EP)|Nervous Breakdown]]'' EP.

==Personal life==
Ginn is the older brother of artist Raymond Ginn, who goes by the pseudonym of [[Raymond Pettibon]].{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}

Ginn owns the [[Texas]]-based independent record label [[SST Records]] (SST), an outgrowth of his original Solid State Tuners company.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}

On October 10, 2014, Ginn's ex-wife Marina filed a motion in court to prevent Ginn from having access to their two daughters, claiming Ginn was "routinely denying them food and threatening them," "abusing alcohol and drugs in front of them," had "forced [the children] to do cleaning chores until 2 a.m." "locked [them] in a room alone with no contact with the outside world through cell phone or emails," and had "throw[n] cups of water in their face." She also claimed he had told his daughters "you're hot" and "whistled at them," and told them "they are getting fat and need to lose weight and that their diets will have to be more strenuous."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/news/57071-black-flags-greg-ginn-accused-of-child-abuse/|title=Black Flag's Greg Ginn Accused of Child Abuse|website=[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]|date=October 14, 2014}}</ref> Former Black Flag member [[Ron Reyes]] subsequently testified in court in support of Marina Ginn's accusations.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/ron-reyes-makes/|title = Ron Reyes makes statement on Greg Ginn's child abuse case, backs up Black Flag founder's ex-wife}}</ref> Ginn suffered no criminal charges.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
