I didn't really understand that, since there is a clear influence, but it is common to refer to third wave ska and ska punk as just ska, because shorthand. Hence my confusion I guess.My point was about taking the full name of a different, prior, music form and whole scale attributing it to a later much different one.

I guess it is confusing if someone isn't familiar with the bands that are being discussed though. Even within ska punk, there is a lot of variation. Band with horns, without horns, with clear ska rhythms on every song, with only some on some songs. Confusing all around I guess, but that goes for most genres/sub-genres. I find myself just saying punk and meaning post-punk, hardcore punk, pop punk, ska punk, garage punk, post-hardcore etc. I guess some find it tedious to try to be precise with the imprecise genre labels, which I find understandable.
Subtle burn. I like it.John Meyer
This is all just semantics, and you have a different POV being in the UK. Here "ska" and "punk-ska" were used almost interchangeably in the common discourse (whether that is technically correct or not).I suppose I dont agree and consider ska and ska-punk to be two utterly different things in almost every way, I don’t see huge common threads between pre-reggae Jamaican music and Less Than Jake and Bowling For Soup
After this discussion, watch us get Mighty Mighty Bosstones or Brian Setzer Orchestra as one of the best of the 90s and I will hate you all for bringing this ska/swing discussion up and to their attention.

Yeah, that’s the impression that I get.I could never get into the Bosstones
Cool story Hanseli want my eye roll reaction back.
I always liked that they hired one of their buddies to dance around the stage like a ska hype man during their sets.The Bosstones are like the most generic ska band there is (kind of like the intro to the genre). They're not bad, but there were so many more interesting bands out there.
If I remember right, Less Than Jake did that with some guy wearing a mask and a suitI always liked that they hired one of their buddies to dance around the stage like a ska hype man during their sets.

I had a friend in HS that was at Warped Tour. She lost all her stuff (wallet, keys, etc) and was sitting out on a bench just sobbing. This guy comes over and sits down with her, listens to her story, and then basically gets her money and a way home. It was Dickey Barrett.I always liked that they hired one of their buddies to dance around the stage like a ska hype man during their sets.
One time I saw the pietasters at a greek church. They were having trouble with the monitor, and the wasted singer kept berating the sound guy. When he came up to swap out a different cable, the singer kicked him right in the ass and he went flying. That seemed more in line with some of the hardcore shows I used to go to and kind of colored my opinion of their music for a while. That was in like 1998, so I should probably revisit it.The Pietasters are legit good.
ROCK N ROLL BABYI didn't know
