ska-punk = a band who try to play ska but aren't very good at it
And so on. Any comments?
"You're playing out of time. Who cares! We can spike our hair up, wear t-shirts and sing to 14 year old girls! Then we'll be a punk band!"

idiot, punk rock STARTED as a band who wasnt good with their instruments, the ramones, and they considered themselves to be more of a bubblegum pop band in their early days. today punk rock simply built and branched on that simplicity. theres a god damn plethora of talented punk musicians, and no, punk isnt just added as a prefix, ass, ska-punk is music with both the elements of ska and punk rock, holy christ who knew. and about the playing to 14 year old girls thing, i think you've got modern POP-rock bands in mind, eg. simple plan, good charlotte etc etc.
