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.
