gently caress, I only know one ska band.

I'll forgive you not knowing first wave Jamaican ska like Desmond Dekker, Prince Buster or the Skatalites, or at least for possibly confusing them with reggae. But you never heard of the Specials? Or Madness?

I told you it wasn't an exaggeration, they think every single ska song is Sell Out by Reel Big Fish

Nobody is making jokes about Two-tone when third wave provides such verdant chequered fields for clowning on.

Ska is if you very rhythmically threw a bunch of silverware and trumpets into a wind tunnel.

According to what I learned from MTV in the 90s, No Doubt is the greatest ska band of all time.

Excuse you, every ska song is Everyone Else Is An rear end in a top hat.

e: Admittedly I'm in a unique position of coming into ska from Why Do They Rock So Hard?, not being able to really get more CDs, then forgetting all about ska until I spotted Candy Coated Fury randomly on Spotify. I don't think I've even heard Sell Out.

It's only ska if it comes from the Ska region of Jamaica. Otherwise it's just sparkling rhythm and blues.

Ska is a matter of perspective. Why, with the right mindset I could prove that Bach's Fugue and Toccata in D is ska.

I won't because I respect the truce, but I could.

I used to have recurring nightmares since childhood of demons in my house and they would often end with me screaming to rebuke them in Jesus' name, but the demons would sense that my faith wasn't strong enough and would just laugh as they exhibited a more and more menacing aura.

One night I decided I wasn't afraid anymore and i hosed the demon. Just went to town raw dogging this demon, sucked his dick and everything.

Haven't had a demon nightmare since.
