Description

Ska punk is a genre of music that combines elements of ska (a Caribbean music genre that originated in Jamaica in the 1950s and 1960s) and punk rock (a subgenre of rock music that emerged in the mid-1970s). Ska punk often features fast, upbeat rhythms with horn sections and distorted guitars. The lyrics often touch on political and social issues and can be humorous or satirical. Some notable ska punk bands include The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, and Operation Ivy.
