Ska is inherently faulty?

(1/13) > >>

Narr:
A couple of the threads that have been posted in the last couple weeks seem to have very strong anti-ska sentiments. Most of the bigger name ska bands have been bashed repeatedly by some of our hipster élites.

I am confused.

I thought the whole point of the genre was to be absurd and silly, and that's kind of the big draw to it.  Why is that such a bad thing?  A lot of music talent goes into it, a lot of the time.  (Some of my most favorite songs are by the Aquabats.)

Is it just Reel Big Fish and They Might Be Giants that everyone here hates and I'm totally missing something, or what?

edit: lol typoz!!1

KharBevNor:
Yes. Ska will traumatise your children, corrode your teeth and punch holes in the ozone layer big enough to drive a Star Destroyer through.

Winners don't do ska.

ASturge:
bah!

I am a winner!

And I like Ska.

Not love it. But i can definitly get down to some Mad Caddies every once in a while!

TrueNeutral:
I kindof like the Aquabats.

OtterErotic:
Steve Albini once said that ska is "mostly for retards."

Just saying.
