Yeah man well said

Reel Big Fish used to be a ska band. On their early releases like Everything Sucks they had goofy lyrics and a tight ska punk sound. I think it was with the release of We're Not Happy Until You're Unhappy they abandoned their old sound and then it all went downhill. TBH tho they never were really great ska band to begin with haha
