The worst genre of music ever made, mostly because Dylan likes it.
Because Dylan listens to ska, ska is retarded.

Commenly known as a style of music but can also be a way of life (just like emo or metal can be). Skas live thier life from the lyrics of their favorite Ska band (Less Than Jake, Catch 22) and often make up their own sayings or life rules, showing adaptation similiar to the music itself. Skas can look like what some would call preps, chatches, richies, or some times even borderline gangster. Their appearance is not limited to that although because of the flexiblity of the music/style. Skas are also known for their drinking ability and their general dislike of emos.

Personally, 3rd wave ska is the best. It's like punk music played by high school band geeks.
A good 3rd wave ska band is Reel Big Fish

Rock Band + Horn Section = Ska. If singing is in a monotone (i.e. Streetlight Manifesto) and not have anyon notice or care because the bass kicks, the guitar is hot like fire, and the horn section is just plain better than everything else combined, you might be Ska. Also, if there are more than 5 people, it's a good indicator of ska.
River City Rebel's Horn section rocks just as much as the guitars.
