Ska generally means 3rd wave, and Ive no idea how those first two waves really releate to 3rd wave, but yea punk and reggae are like very different siblings of the same family.

But yea black and white checkered vans, skanking, all that stuff. Its just punk rock with a horn section. And yea, some is more pop/mainstream than other, but its the same with punk or any genre thats been around for more than 15 minutes.

Dont get me wrond, the joke is still accurate.

Aren't you describing ska-punk? I thought ska was a spinoff of reggae. (It sure sounds like reggae to my ignorant ears.)

Reggae is a spinoff of the original ska, which itself is a very Caribbean style coming from Calypso and jumpblues. Look for Desmond Dekker or Toots & the Maytals for some typical examples.

Today's ska is closer to punk rock with a sprinkle of horns.

Hence the name punk ska.

What you are calling ska punk, old heads used to tell me thats 3rd wave ska. The reggae spin off, they claimed, was 1st and 2nd wave. I dont know for sure, and Iv seen contradicting things online since. I never really got it.

Reggae comes from Ska as I recall. The Wailer’s early work is Ska.

Yeah, and that's slightly different than dubstep-ska. That's where you drop the beat then pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

You don't see how? It takes the horns and basic upstroke pattern and speeds it up like tenfold.

This song is a bit more 2nd wave.
