It is noted as the underclassmen of music. No one really appreciates it as much as it should. But does ska have a chance to revive, or will it crash and burn with the other fallen genres?
Ska is considered the "fun" genre. It contains trumpets and other brass instruments that makes people dance. Old ska bands such as Sublime, Reel Big Fish, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake, and Goldfinger rules the genre of ska. However, because of other rising genres, it fell to the ground. Ska bands have decreased over time and is slowly dissipating.
Luckily, some bands decided to take this problem head-on. New ska bands have arrived, such as Streetlight Manifesto and Big D and the Kid's Table to bring back the genre. Now i want to know what you think: is there a chance or not for ska?

I never even heard of the Ska genre but I know some of the bands that are apparently under the genre. If the rest of the genre sounds anything like Sublime I think it should be revised because their music is so relaxing. I like the fact that they actually use real instuments, you dont hear a lot of modern bands performing with trumpets. I've heard of Streetlight Manifesto before but never really looked into it. Ska sounds really intersting I think it deserves another chance, I would love to hear more from it.
ReplyDeleteSka definitely deserves a chance. Just like punk, it has lost its fans. However, there are still ska bands out there so it's not completely dead. Bands like The Arrogant Sons of B**tches, Suburban Legends, Suicide Machines, and Rx Bandits are current ska bands. Nothing beats the original ska though, such as Reel Big Fish and Less than Jake, but those are the classics that can never be replaced.
