Although they have no chance of being inducted, they were still a good band.

What made Jawbreaker unique was their poetic take on punk, which pretty much impacted many forms of music back in the 90’s and 2000’s. Blake Schwarzenbach’s lyrics were mostly rooted in his worries he wrote about on his journal. The lyrics were personal mixed with instant matters, expressiveness, descriptiveness on imagery, bitterness, frustration, and word choices that were both universal and magnetic.

Black’s work attracted a lot of listeners, which made the band a cult following. AFI, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Alkaline Trio, At the Drive-In, Bayside, Beach Slang, Face to Face, Hot Water Music, Jimmy Eat World, Kill Your Idols. New Found Glory, Off With Their Heads, Saves the Day, Small Brown Bike and The Get Up Kids cited Jawbreaker as one of their influences.

Will they get inducted into the HOF? Probably not but should.

Not popular enough for the hall, but more than good enough and way more than influential enough for the rock hall
