Third-wave/ska-punk definitely had it's short comings, but you're right some of those walking basslines were chugalicious, and the songs were just plain fun at times. Amid the contrived and, in retrospect embarrassing moments of 3rd wave there were some pretty indulgent moments, but for the sake of clarification and the continuing education of other members:
First wave/rocksteady -Jamaica - ca. 1955 - 1965:
Second Wave/Two-tone - Great Britain - ca. 1975 - 1985
NY Ska (at least I count it as a separate genre) - New York City 1980 - ???
Ska punk Mid 80's - ???
Third Wave - America - late 80's - Ad nauseum
