Ska is what plays in a 13 year old boy’s head when he finds an extra mozzarella stick.
hyperpop: the world is working exactly as intended and you should be as many levels of angry as there are genre influences in this track
Nu metal is bipolar. Its either “the world is broken but ignore it with the help of a song that has no right to be this groovy” or “the world is broken and thats why im setting the whole fucking place on fire including myself”
Damn, now I need to learn about Nu Metal! Who do I listen to in the first batch?
Uhh thats kinda hard to answer cause nobodys gonna be happy with it. Nu metal is a kind of contraversial genre because nobody agrees on what it is exactly and every artist seems to say that theyre not actually nu metal. My top five would be Korn, deftones, limp bizkit, slipknot, system of a down. The most famous is probably linkin park which you definitely know but they are kinda their own seperate entity. Rage against the machine is also kinda seperate tho still kinda nu metal. As for songs i recommend to get s feeling for the genre: Freak on a leash, blind, break stuff, change, be quiet and drive, aerials and eyeless.
“Ska is what a 13 year old hears in their head when they are told they are getting free mozzarella sticks.”
Grunge: “The world is broken, and so am I. But there’s nothing we can do about it so let’s just fuck.”
“Ska is what a 13 year old hears in their head when they are told they are getting free mozzarella sticks.”
I always think of this song by 7 seconds of love when I read that. Pretty much sums it up.
Re: the ska quote - There’s a sticker at a venue here with Batman pimp slapping Robin as he says this that I think about a lot.
Pop: world is broken let’s ignore it
R&b: world is broken let’s smash
D&b: world is broken let’s dance
Techno: The world is not broken as long as we have drugs
Trance: the world is broken and I can see it in all its kaleidoscopic majesty.

Jazz: " the world is broken and ski-ba-bop-ba-dop-bop"
Shoegaze: “The world is broken, but let’s play guitars while we look down at our feet”
folk metal: the world is broken, as foretold from by the Ancient Ones whom we celebrate with gut-wrenching melancholy
D&D: world is broken let’s adventure
Weirdcore: World is broken so I’ve been slamming Monster energy drinks for 48 hours straight and now I’m delirious and hallucinating the nineties.
Metal: world is broken and so are we.
Pop: I have a crush on a boy. World broken? Sorry, um… I don’t follow the news.
Gangsta Rap: I’m the king of this 'hood, and don’t give a shit about anything happening outside of it.
Country: My truck is my whole world, and the world is broken.
Classical: I will describe the great forces at play that are breaking the world using music.
3/4ths of these are just punk subgenres lol
The three that are not punk itself. Emo and goth both came out of punk, and ska was fused with punk by the time of two-tone.
YOU’RE a punk subgenre >:(
No Patrick, Goth and Emo are not
an instrumentpunk.Emo literally stands for “Emotive Hardcore”, i.e “Hardcore Punk”
Goth music is rooted in Post-Punk.
Ska is basically: the world’s on fire, but we’re still bringing horns and a two-step. Honestly… fair.
World Inferno/Friendship Society. They got it all.
Open question to the floor: what is the most “Ska” song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most stereotypical “Ska” a song could possibly be.
Edit: I’ve got some listening to do, thanks for the responses, keep them coming! I’ve never heard of half these bands, and while Ska isn’t usually my thing I definitely vibe with some of them.
None of these are stereotypical but I think I covered part of the range.
The Science of Selling Yourself Short, Less than Jake
For the 90s ska revival, I think Reel Big Fish takes the cake for most ska-ish ska band
Streetlight manifesto is probably one of the more popular ska bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOqenYis1iQ
Streetlight fucking slaps. I can’t name a bad song of theirs.
We’re getting a new album sometime totally soon, for real this time, and they still won’t have a bad song
Where is the beauty in billionaires taking over the world and fucking everybody?
In the cracks left behind where plants can still grow
A good kiss
Your baby’s words
Lots of beauty to find, plenty of life to live
Death Metal: RAARRRAOARAAAGHHH (booklet with the lyrics probably says “world is broken let’s fuck shit up” )
Alternatively, “if you piss blood it’s a symptom of kidney issues”.
