	Slapstick was incredibly important to Chicago's continuing punk rock scene because (as stated above) although they took their influences from Op Ivy and Crimpshrine, their sound was unlike any of the ska-punk bands at the time from the east or west coast, and, as mentioned, they spawned so many side projects, especially the likes of [[Alkaline Trio]] and [[Lawrence Arms]] and others that acted as the burgeoning force behind the continuing scene in the 1990s. They inspired a decade of kids with a Squire electric guitar and a 10 watt amp to start a garage band. It is worth saying that they may have even been part of revitalizing the Chicago punk scene, acting as a juncture between the 80's and 90's. Without Slapstick and its members, the 90s to current punk scene in Chicago would not be what it is.

	'''Slapstick''' was a seminal Chicago ska-punk band formed in [[1993]] and officially broke up in [[1996]] and is known for being the root of the "Slapstick Family Tree", a group of musical projects which spawned from members of Slapstick, many of which are still active. Despite the fact that they were only officially together for less than four years, and only released one LP, ''Lookit'' on [[Dill Records]] (originally the Skankin' Pickle label) in early of 1996; recorded in late 1995, (re-released on [[Asian Man]] - the label that Dill Records became), their influence is immeasurable.
