Openly wanting to cheap out on artists you like in the age of .00001 cent per stream is a wild hill to die on

Wtf is ska up to in the yool 2025? It was my senior year and early college (2002-2004) genre of choice so Im curious if it's evolved in any fashion,. Has there been a fourth wave ska yet? Any good fusion bands? Has a prog crusty ska band been formed yet? Has it come full circle back to 60's big band jazzy ska sound? I'm not trying to be derisive, those 2 years of my life had some of the most fun concert experiences I can think of, from small tiny rear end venues in NJ to Vans Warped Tour, with my high school friends to boot. The Skatalites and The Aquabats soon became my two fave ska bands, and I'm happy to say I've seen them, the specials (or was it the slackers?) and the Toasters live, at least once. Shout out to that 2002 Skatalites show @ BB kings NYC, got to see Lloyd Brevett play that stand up bass, it was a great experience. I think I only got into ska because my friends were into it; although there were bands I genuinely loved from that genre, I kinda dropped it 20 years agob. I got into jammy poo poo like Claypool's side projects, Buckethead, and Praxis, which coincidentally, have done very "dubby" type poo poo, which I became a fan of (and currently I've been exploring all metal has to offer). Ska always had some of the best bass riffs, and hearing them slowed down and down tuned a la dub is excellent to my ears. Anyways, I'd to hear what's unique with the genre nowadays. Does trap ska exist?

There’s an argument for the Kill Lincoln and Catbite’s of the world to be a pseudo 4th wave but the sound hasn’t changed too much since the 3rd imo. What I’m saying is the 100 gecs is the 4th wave of ska.

It’s hard to define what the 4th wave would even be because the other waves also involved geographic shifts, apart from the musical shifts. Jamaica, to the UK, to the US/world, there’s nowhere else to go. I guess maybe someone invents a new type of ska that blows up, but what else is left after the third wave? Hell the third wave of ska had so many variable genres within it that you can’t really define it just by its sound.

I would think a 4th wave would be if ska got really popular again, spawning a bunch of new bands and songs on the radio - whatever that sound would be would be the 4th wave.

Hey y'all. I appreciate all your musings regarding 4th wave ska, and I realized one of my musings of prog ska already exists and that's Fishbone and maybe The Clash (or are they just rock?). What's the weirdest, most off putting band that can still be considered ska?

I see elements of a 4th wave in things like Catbite and Flying Raccoon Suit, and some others... they're kind of experimenting new sounds and ideas into the genre while retaining the social consciousness of two-tone (which was lost in parts of the third wave). Another thing I see sometimes is that the 4th wave is what's happening in Latin America now. GreatMrPopo posted:What's the weirdest, most off putting band that can still be considered ska?

I had never considered Fishbone as prog ska, that seems a very odd way to describe them. Blue Meanies are the weirdest band I can think of that is sometimes ska.

Johnny Socko was the first thing that came to my mind for Weird Ska, but they might be more "weird dudes that play ska" than "dudes that play weird ska." Voodoo Glow Skulls are probably pretty offputting for someone going in blind When Pigs Cry fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Feb 13, 2025 |

"Weird" can mean so many different things you'll get a ton of different answers. Mephiskapheles and Blue Meanies are screamy and I don't like them at all. Voodoo Glow Skulls are... less screamy? but still screamy, I like them more, at least the older stuff (didn't one of their people go nuts?). I don't really think Johnny Socko are that weird, and I don't think there is really anything weird at all about Bad Manners, but they are intentionally goofy and I can see how that would bother people. I cannot get past how intentionally goofy the Aquabats are, myself, although I do like "Pajamazon!" from a musical standpoint. A band that basically everyone hates (well, hated, I think the band is dead) is the Johnstones, based mainly on the main singer's voice, which I acknowledge is very off-putting. I do not know why and I can neither explain nor defend it, but I actually quite like them, particularly the album Can't Be Trusted. I assure you I am aware this is an indefensible opinion. The Pomps are sort of ska-adjacent, and also have a new album coming out in like a week. EDIT: I consider Johnny Socko to be in the category of tiny bands that never really broke through, although they released more prolifically than most of those. But there are a ton of tiny little bands that almost no one has ever heard of, like The Sheds. guppy fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Feb 13, 2025 |

As far as I can tell, Norwood wanted to be the leader of the band, and more or less said he was going to be dictator. Most of the band didn’t like that idea and essentially said no way. Norwood then left the band and Walt Kibby decided to go with him. Kind of messy, and that’s all I can make out.

My kid turned on Kablam! Which was a Nickelodeon show from the 90s and the intro is an instrumental version of Two Tone Army. God the late 90s were good to ska bands.
