Musical rant I feel I must say:
People who say that ska is stupid... ugh. Ignorant buffoons. I try to tell people I like ska, and the only thing that's worse than someone asking "What's that?" is someone who says "I heard a ska song once... it was stupid." Wow, one song? From a genre as varied as any other? So many people have such little musical diversity and acceptance for things they've never heard these days, and it darn well sucks. It's no wonder why Green Day can pull out a under developed concept album and woo the world. The bright side is that a good few old (and new) bands are still making a living somehow, meaning there are some likeminded individuals out there.
Hell, maybe someday ska will have itself another nitch in the mainstream. Nu metal has worn its course, and this crapfest known as "new wave/dance revival" certainly can't last long. Who on this earth could stand listening to a bunch of Killers soundalikes clogging there airwaves? And though it's a highly optimistic thought, maybe all the annoying emo/screamo/shit trendiness will finally rest in the depths of Hell. And for bonus points, take Hot Topic with it.
