A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Wait... there are people who hate ska?

Why? For that matter, how? What's to hate?

Granted, I'm GenX, so my concept of ska is rooted in the 80s, but I can't imagine that it's changed much since then.

Wait a minute... is this one of those deals where it's trendy in some peer group to broadcast a hatred for something? Like anyone who wants to hang with the cool kids has to verify that they too hate ska?

Which would be sort of like pineapple on pizza now that I think about it, so might well be the whole point here...

For the record, I actually like ska., But as Propaghandi said:

Ska sucks

Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fuck

The bands are only in it for the bucks

And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck

But the trend will die out with any luck

Sounds like adolescent edginess to me.

Probably a bit of that, a bit of friendly taking the shit out of other bands, and a bit of a song taken too seriously by both punk and ska fans. And remember, the song Ska Sucks is a ska song.
