      The three that are not punk itself. Emo and goth both came out of punk, and ska was fused with punk by the time of two-tone.

      source
      • PP_BOY_@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeah, after commenting that I considered that what some people consider goth is actually post-punk (the punk connection should be obvious), but then remembered goth rock exists obviously does not come from punk. Ska and emo though for sure, emo by ways of post-hardcore, by ways of hardcover, by ways of protopunk and you’ve already covered the ska lineage

      No Patrick, Goth and Emo are not an instrument punk.

      source
      • angstylittlecatboy@reddthat.com ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Emo literally stands for “Emotive Hardcore”, i.e “Hardcore Punk”

        Goth music is rooted in Post-Punk.

    Open question to the floor: what is the most “Ska” song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most “Ska” a song could possibly be.

    source
    • Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      None of these are stereotypical but I think I covered part of the range.

      The Science of Selling Yourself Short, Less than Jake

      Ghost Town, The Specials

      Beer, Reel Big Fish

      I know you too well to like you anymore, Reel big fish

      Keasby Nights, Catch 22

      A Better Place, A Better Time, Streetlight Manifesto.

      source
    • protist@mander.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      For the 90s ska revival, I think Reel Big Fish takes the cake for most ska-ish ska band

      It’s not the best ska song by a country mile, but it’s definitely the most ska song. At least as far as third wave goes.

      source
      • garbagebagel@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Definitely the first one I thought of. If you’re going by most well known, and recognizably ska, then yes this.

        source
      • n0respect@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        surprised this isnt #1. Def the most stereotypical and well known ska song

        source
    • SlurpingPus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Millie Small’s ‘My Boy Lollipop’ is the original ska song that made the genre popular outside Jamaica.

      Of the second-wave aka two-tone ska: The Selecter’s ‘On My Radio’, Madness’ ‘Night Boat To Cairo’, The Specials’ ‘A Message To You Rudy’.

    • saigot@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Streetlight manifesto is probably one of the more popular ska bands: www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOqenYis1iQ

      Modern Ska i’d say

      Flying Raccoon Suit afterglow

      We Are The Union Out Of Patience

      Half Past Two Barrier For Entry

      of the older stuff, a few greats i havent seen mentione yet would be

      Against All Authority All Fall Down

      Link 80 enough

      source
      • axx@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        AAA and Link80 are very much not “the most ska”, they are very hardcore leanleaning ska, which is really a few steps too farfar from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.

      Varies by generation of ska.

      • first generation: “Keith & Ken with Byron Lee & the Dragonaires - Jamaica Ska” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhLjOgUXut8
      • second generation: “Madness - One Step Beyond” - https://youtu.be/SOJSM46nWwo?t=29

      Commenting both to track these Ska recommendations, I fucking love Ska. But also to recommend Life Sucks…Let’s Dance by Reel Big Fish, to my that song really hits the nail on the head in a cliché way. I constantly tell my wife, who reminds me I tell her that every time we are listening to it lol

    Damn, I didn’t realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don’t even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!

    Just different stages of grief. The world is broken. Maybe we can fix some parts of it but nobody is going to singlehandedly fix everything. Trying to fix it is the bargaining stage of grief. Being upset that you can’t do anything is the depression stage. Embracing it is the acceptance stage. Can’t change the world but we can change our attitude.
