You poor deprived child!!! There's skanking-a-plenty at all the shows I go to (I can direct you if you're anywhere near New Jersey). It's the most fun you'll ever have while getting the snot beaten out of you.

Also, two-tone rocks! Some people say that's where the checker pattern came from. Two-tone ska bands often have black and white members (hence, two-tone). The checkerboard pattern was supposed to represent the two races working together.

maybe its because where i live not many people know how to skank XD lol

EXACTLY! As long as you are moving and having fun, nothing else matters

i definitely agree with that. the only frustrating part is trying to skank with stupid emo kids who knock you over and fat drunk metal heads who shove you around

: feels offended :
why does it seem that the ska community is against emo?

Ska and emo are the EXACT opposites.

Ska=Happy, lively music. Emo=sad, dead music.

And trust me, the two different fans DO NOT mix well stressed

lol. all music makes me happy XD. I never considered it sad and dead... anyways, emo stands for 'emotional' O_o
XDXD
I guess I'm more of an idiot than I thought. If emo is sad and dead, then why don't they just call it gothic and get it over with? XD. I don't see the point for having two different names for the same type of music.
Oh well. XD

it's because Emo doesn't have the balls to be Goth. j/k xd

Alright, now I know for sure. Just about everytime I try to describe the history of ska to someone I tell them it's where reggae got it's roots and nobody believes but this is the third source that's said that.

I did a ppt on Ska once for a computer class, and people tryed to tell me that I was wrong. I promptly knocked over their computers and told them to pick it up.

hepcat and the specials rule! whoever said that
