Don’t you dare feel bad about ska! Reel Big Fish, catch-22, Less Than Jake, Pietasters, Mephiskapholes, mustard plug, the specials, suicide machines, Spring Heeled Jack, Dance Hall Crashers, and so on and so forth all put on really fun shows and/or had good albums! It’s ska, the music so ridiculous, you just gotta be happy!!

Oh the shows were great for a teenager for sure. We were so into it that I had a friend who basically became a RBF groupie. She moved to LA post college and even became friends with Aaron, the frontman.

It just so bland lifeless Nathan, like porridge made with water and not even a sprinkle of salt.

Let’s leave Gwen out of this, they’re not even remotely comparable musically.

I’m pages behind and may be well late to this party but.....

Salty Porridge is proper grim. A touch of honey please.

One of my best friends is a huge ska fan and the concerts I've gone to with her have been a fucking blast!

You have to put a pinch in to bring out the nutty flavour of the oats. But yeah make it with milk and top it with a bit of honey and soft fruit. And all that only just makes the minging warm gruel barely palatable!

I stand behind @Joe Mac's comment, though some of those bands are good. I'll still listen to God Bless Satan by Mephiskapheles and Oolooloo by The Pietasters. but the more traditional style is FAR superior than its bastard son, Ska Punk. and this is coming from someone who most likely listened to way more ska punk than most people here.
 
Wait, there's a Gwen version on this? Was it re-recorded too?

Everything is coming full circle. Shit is going to hit the fan tomorrow.

You guys have a local team that is the Cocks too? Thought that was a South Carolina thing. Also thought preppy kids with chaw was a southern thing. Unfortunately that was more popular around me in college, people spitting into their empty Gatorade bottles in class.

I grew up and went to school in Virginia, that damn hat was everywhere 15 years ago. Its a SC hat.

Just don't go to a Gamecock game unless you want a bunch of idiots screaming "You Can't Lick Our Cocks!" and other similar chants in front of children.

That would be ska-punk, it’s pretty universally terrible. ska is a totally different type of, much superior, imo, music!

If you really wanted to be pedantic, in that group there’s a mix of two-tone, third wave west coast, third wave east coast, and skacore.

but it’s just easier to say ska because most people don’t think of early 60s Jamaican music when they hear ska

I didn’t notice the specials in there, I’ll give a pass on them, they’re great. There’s a whole lot of ska-punk in there, everything you said after two tone is ska-punk scenes, not genres and it’s not pedantic to insist that “fun“, largely white, music doesn’t appropriate the name of a 60s Jamaican scene.

I always found this clip funny



though anyone who knows what they're talking about knows that Ska actually preceded Reggae.
