Do you believe SKA is dead?

Ska is one of my all time favourite genres. A lot of people say that Ska died in the 90's. There are still 3rd wave bands that are still touring to this day such as Streetlight Manifesto but they're not as popular as some bands were in the 90's.

    No its not (although its true there is no ska in mainstream music anymore), theres still allot of new unknown ska bands playing not far from where i live that are pretty good. my advice would be to search your local bars/clubs for reggae/ska nights theres still ska out there if you look hard enough.

  • No definately not! There's some awesome Ska bands around nowadays. Ska has started to merge with Punk in recent years to create Ska Punk. You've got Ska Funk and other awesome genres with heavy traces of Ska. You've gotta look for it!

    Some of the older bands are still around (Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Voodoo Glow Skulls) and a few more have reunions now and then, but a 4th wave has yet to roll in.
