^ well you should think of it this way. if you compare say groups like the toasters/hepcat/slackers/pietasters to LOC or AAA or goldfinger, theres a big difference. most of the groups mentioned are punk/ska, while specifically sublime is more reggae-rock and goldfinger is more pop/rock. either way, personally i dont see much problem with people mentioning punkska here, or reggae.

Punk ska isnt ska at all. almost none of it has any similarities with ska. Just because a band has horns dosnt mean there kind of like ska. It just means that they have a horn section. As for reggae theres been no argument against it.
