The Hate for Ska (jazz, reggae, rock, genre, Atmosphere)

I don't get how people hate it. What is it, the horns, the upbeats? I am truly confused on how people hate this genre. :/

No real difference in haters and fans.

not true... but I would say it is a pretty 50/50 split around me.

I know!!

I think ska is the happiest music out there. How can you hate it?! One of my friends said he wanted to listen to it because he wanted music with "more music". It made me laugh. He seems to love Area7, even thought i find them a little to pop to get into them.

But i just don't understand how people can't like it. Trumpets are so cool. If i ws on a desert island i would so have to have SKA music, it's just the kind of thing that is like happy mood=now regardless of how i was before.

I dont get how it's hateable!!! Then again, people who like RnB, hip hop and Techno, probably don't understand why i can't stand it.

ska is a great genre, there is rarely any pure ska nowadays, just punk with trumpets

im a big fan of the specials, used to like ltj but theyve changed too much, erel big fish is good

if theres any genres i can only take in small doses its metal/rap

edit: ok i guess ill answer the question too, there are too many emos at my school for people to apreciate ska, curse you the used!

Unfortunately, in my almost 3rd World Country, No one knows of Ska...well a few people do, and the ones that do Like it.

Most of my friends hate it....so in turn - I hate them.

Ska = God

Yeah most of the group I hang out with Like ska, so All's good. Unfortunately I live near an area where 3/4 of the population think a dance beat and some synth is music, and everything else is "Fookin' shi' lads" to quote.

''No real differnece in haters and fans. ''

Because my friends usually have the same music taste, so they are a comprimise to the people I have contact with through daily life, without wanting to.

most of my friends are indifferent towards ska, mostly because they haven't heard much, if any of it. the little that ive heard, however, ive thoroughly enjoyed. i wish ska was more popular, it can be a blast to listen to. im mostly a rock guy, but a good ska band is like nothing else in music (in a good way)
