Crash Fistfight's definitions

Fourth Wave

The Fourth Wave of Ska comes after Third Wave, Two-Tone and first wave ska. Sometimes called Skash for ska and thrash, but isn't necessarily thrash. This type of ska is defined by bands like Streetlight Manifesto and Big D & The Kid's Table. Difficult to describe, it's like ska/punk/thrash/dub/metal.

Streetlight's 'Riding the Fourth Wave' doesn't sound all that fourth wave.

Still cool anywho.
