I've seen a lot of posts talking about what Hobie's music taste would be based on his personality/vibes but never anyone talking about it from a comic cannon basis so who better than I, the Spider-Punk reading order guy on twitter, to do that.
I will be going over every time he references a song in comics that I can find, please know I am not a punk rock expert I am simply a leftist comic geek
First off from his introductory comic, it is titled "with great power comes no future"
I believe this is in reference to the sex pistols song No Future (God Save the Queen) This makes sense as the issue is about Hobie killing the fascist president Osborn and the song is very critical of the queen describing the British government as fascist
Ok next up from the spiderverse event:
Now this one isn't necessarily a music reference since "Fight the Power" is also a phrase used colloquially but it feels worth throwing in
Now From Edge of Spider-Geddon
Here he directly sings a line from "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead
Now there's a few from the Spider-Punk Mini:
First off, Hobie calls himself "A Street Walkin' Cheetah with a Heart Full of Napalm"
which is a reference to a line from "Search and Destroy" by Iggy and the Stooges
Next him and his best friend Karl Morningdew say this
This is obviously directly the title of "Kick Out the Jams" by MC5
After that Hobie says this
While any form of "Fuck off Nazi Punks" is a common phrase among leftist punks, it also may be intended as a reference to "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" by the Dead Kennedys
Then we have the spider band singing "Hey Ho, Let's Go!" at the start of their roadtrip
This is from "Blitzkrieg Bop" By the Ramones
Next, from what I can tell Hobie saying "born to lose" here is a reference
This one I had to do some checking around, and it'd most likely be a reference to Born to Lose by Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers
This seems to be yet another direct song title reference
This time it's "Bite It You Scum" by G.G. Allin
Additionally, the writer of the Spider-Punk (2022) Mini, Cody Ziglar, made a spotify playlist of songs that they felt Hobie would listen to
That's all the music references I could find, but if you're trying to get a feel for what Hobie listens to it's a good starting point.

The impact Spiderverse has on art and artists is INSANE. Everyone is drawing, everyone is CREATING. From colour studies, to the art style studies, to making sona influenced by the movies' character designs. AI generated images are nowhere to be seen, and I hope they're going to stay buried in the uncreative pits they belong in... the world is in balance.
Seeing all the works are... WOW
