Wait... there are people who hate ska?
Why? For that matter, how? What's to hate?
Granted, I'm GenX, so my concept of ska is rooted in the 80s, but I can't imagine that it's changed much since then.
Wait a minute... is this one of those deals where it's trendy in some peer group to broadcast a hatred for something? Like anyone who wants to hang with the cool kids has to verify that they too hate ska?
Which would be sort of like pineapple on pizza now that I think about it, so might well be the whole point here...
For the record, I actually like ska., But as Propaghandi said:
Ska sucks
Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fuck
The bands are only in it for the bucks
And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck
But the trend will die out with any luck
Sounds like adolescent edginess to me.
Probably a bit of that, a bit of friendly taking the shit out of other bands, and a bit of a song taken too seriously by both punk and ska fans. And remember, the song Ska Sucks is a ska song.
You might be on to something...
