Well, there is original ska (1950-1960s Jamaican ska) which is fantastic, groovy, soulful and it changed music forever. And then there is “modern” (appropriated) ska which is … just cringe and headache.
Pineapple on pizza is amazing.
Appropriated ska is like egg, strawberries, liquorice and corn mixed in a bowl and put on pizza dough.
Look into the history of 2-Tone, you’ll find that it was not appropriated but a movement deliberately calculated to bring black and white teenagers together.

Ah, that’s why I’m confused, I love the original but know nothing about modern ska.
