xXDrummingBeastXx CheewawaMewmi Hahahahaha, why do I get the feeling that you're referring to Leftover Crack, Choking Victim, or any of the crack rock steady bands?
I'm sorry, I just find that so funny because I really think that may be what you're referring to since I can totally see it perfectly. And, well, I'm pretty sure the the crack rock steady bands, if it is what you're talking about, refer to themselves as "ska punk" or "ska core" or something like that. Seems like their trying to take ska from us.
Who? The Crack Rock Steady bands? Naaaahh...They're just trying to take down the government and kill the cops.

I wish it were like that, but a lot of these bands are ruining the atitude and image of ska. Too much sad, evil, and mean ska. It's supposed to be uplifting music that makes you happy.

For the sake of argument, 'cause I'm sort of a belligerent, little wench, I'm going to say something else.
I think that you're wrong about ska having to be about uplifting, happy music. Well, partially. While the connotation of ska nowadays presents it to be happy, originally, first wave ska, the roots of it all, often had themes that revolved around survival in the streets, clashes with the police, and were about equal rights, justice and such themes about oppression from the man or the law ("Judge Dread" metaphor). Then when you look at second wave ska, a lot of the themes presented there aren't always happy, such as the Specials whose songs involve talking about about how the police "use the law to commit crime". The Crack Rock Steady bands are, in a way, somewhat a continuation of this, by using their influence and music to try and get their message out, to tell what they believe is the truth and make people aware.
Ska's not just about being happy and uplifting; it's about being exposed to the truth and the world around you, to not be jaded nor ignorant.

CheewawaMewmi For the sake of argument, 'cause I'm sort of a belligerent, little wench, I'm going to say something else.

While the connotation of ska nowadays presents it to be happy, originally, first wave ska, the roots of it all, often had themes that revolved around survival in the streets, clashes with the police, and were about equal rights, justice and such themes about oppression from the man or the law ("Judge Dread" metaphor). Then when you look at second wave ska, a lot of the themes presented there aren't always happy, such as the Specials whose songs involve talking about about how the police "use the law to commit crime".

Ska's not just about being happy and uplifting; it's about being exposed to the truth and the world around you, to not be jaded nor ignorant. Im aware of this, but it was never being pecimistic. They looked at the situations like they were rising up and overcoming, not how bad they have it (for the most part). It just seems like these "Crack Rock Steady" bands are straying too far from ska for my liking. One of the things I love most about ska music is its optomistic lyrics. Of course you cant be happy all the time, and there wont always be happy ska. But for the most part, lyrically at least, ska is optomistic. I see what you mean though, but then again its all about how you interpret it. Also there are a lot of songs that are lyrically sad, or angry, but melodically it is a happier sounding song. This is because almost all ska uses major chords. Reel Big Fish, for instance, writes a lot of sad songs, but they come off sounding very happy, which changes how you see the song. So, as I said, it's all about how you interpret it.
Well, either way, the point is that these bands are getting too far from ska.

The only way you can get something new and interesting is to get away from the old and generic and create something thats not there

But this new thing is becoming so far from ska, they should just call it something else. Maybe they should come up with some new genre, or just have it say "ska-influenced." And did you say ska is generic? Im not going to comment on that one xp Also, keep in mind that I said they're getting far from ska, not they are far from ska.
