We call a few different styles ska. Original ska is closer to reggae, then there's second wave, which picked up the tempo, and then there's 3rd wave or punk ska, which the other responder is referencing. That's pop punk with upstrokes and horns, and fedoras, like this.

It was a huge musical fad in the late 90's, early 00's, along with Swing, which was a similar modern hybrid style.

I honestly enjoy all forms of ska, from the old to the new, it all depends on my mood. Want to relax? Pop in some old ska or reggae. Want to party? Blast something new and ridiculous.

Yes, me too. I grew up on punk, and was a big ska kid, but I love pretty much any of it.
