It\u2019s got horns. It\u2019s corny. It\u2019s silly. It\u2019s \u201cwhat plays in a 13-year-old kid\u2019s head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks,\u201d as the internet would tell you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re easy jokes to make, and there are bands that venture into silly territory with costumes and lighthearted songs, but for every Aquabats, there\u2019s a Less Than Jake singing about feelings of failure and anxiety or Reel Big Fish writing songs about feeling like they\u2019re never enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For so many, ska is the sound of revolution. Bands like the Specials and Madness have been using the genre to talk about topics like race and class issues. As the genre evolves, that \u201csound of revolution\u201d echoes the societal changes and cultural shifts. Right now, ska bands are creating another \u201crevival\u201d and re-analysis of the genre by discussing things like mental health, gender, and LGBTQIA+ representation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cReleasing songs in a style you enjoy, around the internal dialogue that\u2019s haunting you at the time, doesn\u2019t deserve to be boiled down to \u2018what you hear in your head when you get extra mozzarella sticks,\u2019\u201d Flying Raccoon Suit vocalist Jessica Jeansonne says. \u201cI wish people would not discount someone\u2019s art just because there\u2019s a little bit of trumpet in it. There\u2019s a whole underlying message of somebody suffering, but somebody hears a trumpet and it\u2019s \u2018There\u2019s that cheese.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2022\/10\/how-skas-revival-is-pushing-mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at SPIN<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from SPIN How Ska\u2019s Revival Is Pushing Mental Health Despite a battle against the memes, ska is back and with a new generation\u2019s message By\u00a0Brendan Menapace At this point, the jokes about ska are about as tired as the jokes about fedoras \u2014 which are maybe one of the more deserved of the many digs [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12253\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bigjimindustries.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
