Ska originated in Jamaica when traditional reggae met with the american jazz scene. The "punk" sound came from brittain, and soon people all over the world were listening to the Rudies.
One of the most distincive parts of ska music is Skanking. It's a dance that consists of a whole two steps, and is all about fun. The word you're thinking is the slang "skank", right? That word came from the rudies, who, after dancing for an hour, would be very sweaty.
Ska still lives on today. There are many ska bands still around, and many are jumping into the punk rock scene such as Leftover Crack (Formerly known as Choking Victim). Many still play the old two-tone style, which is slower...but most play and upbeat punk sound with the destinctive guitar beat, and the good old trumpet, trombone and sax.
There is a ska band here in michigan by the name of Thirteen Thirty-Six. They are very new, less than 2 years old, and are playing shows with growing popularity.
Catch 22 still does shows, which people love to watch.
Ska is NOT dead. Everyone has their opinions. If you like rap, you probably won't like ska. Just don't waste your time trying to give it a bad name. Especially on a dictionary site. Do you have no lives?

Upbeat and lively form of music that originated in Jamaica during the 1950's. Although ever popular in Jamaica, ska went through a series of revivials. Two Tone or Second Wave ska originated in BRITAIN when the punk music of the white working class was combined with the ska of black immigrants. Third Wave ska originated in America as an offshoot of punk music, owing much to Two Tone ska from BRITAIN.
two tone ska music is from BRITAIN, B-R-I-T-A-I-N, not america. Anyone who says otherwise is stupid.

jamaican pop music born in kingston in the 1950's, a mixture of soul, r&b, country, mento, callipso, and jazz. ska had 3 waves, traditional, 2 tone, and turd wave... ska paved the way for other generes such as rocksteady (65-68), reggae (68-75), dub (75-ect.)
ska paved the way for reggae and the rest of the music that sounds like it

Ska is great music that was formed in Jamacia, this was done by conbining amercian jazz with the traditional jamacian beat.
There is 3 waves, Jamacian ska (1st wave), two-tone (2nd wave), and Ameriacn ska (3rd wave). Throughout the years ska has greatly changed. some examples of ska bands are: the Skatilites, and Toots and the Maytals (Jamacian ska), the Specials, and the Madness (two-tone), Big D and the Table Kids, and Catch 22.
Ska is one of the greatest music ever created, and if you dislike it you suck because some of your favorite bands probably origonated form ska.
