Ska is an amalgam of reggae, swing, and surf-rock influences. 3rc wave Ska has punk influences. A walking bass, offbeat chords, repetetive drumlines, and brass are the most obvious ska traits. Offbeat lyrics and interesting voices are also trademarks. Skankers also have an affinity for Canada.

A "fun" genre of music. Examples include Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Catch 22 (although they are more of a swing dance style). And Ska without horns? What a horrible definition.

a type of music that could be very upbeat and happy or very slow and mellow defined by the guitar rythems often with the accompiament of horns such as a trumpet or sax.
