ska

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.

Music to skank too.
How To Skank:
1) Swing Your Arm from left to right to the beat of the music
2) Kick Your foot out (usually the foot of the opposite side of which your arms swing)
3) Always look down at your feet to make sure your doing it right!
4) Do for hours

I love to Skank at a show!

ska

A good genre of music that has been completly raped by coperate america. Coming from Jamacia in the 50s, it led to genres like reggae and funk. Some 80's punk bands incorperated it into their music with some success. Over time, as true punk died out, really crappy bands began to put horns and crappy chords into their music, making something that sounds nothing like true ska. The music industry picked up on this, and now labels all new pop rock crap that has any kind of brass instrument in it ska, and thus we are stuck with shitty bands like less than jake and sublime which are an embarresment to true ska and just plain suck.

"Dude do you like ska music?"
"You dont even know what real ska is shut up"

ska

newer ska is known mainly as a mix of punk, reggae, and ussually features horns such as trumpets and trombones.

there is supposedly a ska "style" but it is hard to pinpoint and consists mainly of a lot of punk with some vintage clothing mixed in.

You can hear the three components of ska in Less Than Jake.
