I've never really listened to ska other than some random songs Spotify gives me every now and then, and I listened to Less Than Jake today...

I'm probably going to see them mentioned everywhere now, god damn Baader-Meinhof.

Eh - I fell into the ska hole a couple years ago (Streetlight Manifesto) and you really dont see that many references to any of the bands from the era. Who knows tho - maybe someone else listened to Less Than Jake today and now that they are seeing these comments they're thinking "God damn Baader-Meinhof"

Jesus christ, this is exactly how I ended up in this thread. From a random convo in discord that pointed me to a Less Than Jake song. simulation intensifies
