So if the Bosstones are the sole owners of the ska-core genre where would bands like Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and Evil Empire fit in? Or do you see them as more hardcore punk than anything?

I was more or less saying that Reel Big Fish exemplifies what I think of when I think of straight forward 3rd wave. I would be inclined to call Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, and Evil Empire ska-punk, but really they're 3rd wave. It's more of a timeline than a style distinction. I give The Bosstones the sole ownership of the ska-core genre label because they coined the term, and because every band with a remotely similar sound has copied or been heavily influenced by them. There's no way around it.
