Would have blown those teens minds to learn that Travis Barker is the drummer in that Aquabats song.
I was thinking the same thing
Bro that just blew my mind and I'm old enough I should've known lol. I only knew him from blink 182
@anothergamingchannel2656 I only found out from the aquabats description on Spotify a couple of days ago I sat there for at least an hour just going through the description and it kept blowing my mind
half of them didn't even recognize Gwen Stefani I'm sure it'd go the same way
I'm not a kid, but I didn't know that.
Man, no mention of The Specials? They were pretty much THE second wave band. A Message to You Rudy would have been a perfect track for them to hear
You mean the 2tone era. Like The Beat, Bad Manners, The Selector.
What about the aqua bats
The 90s was a great period for music- end of the hair bands, birth of grunge, boy bands, girl power, Ska, rebirth of swing/ big band and rockabilly, an evolution of rap. It really was like a musical renaissance in many ways.
*rebirth of Ska
I was so happy to see all the kids reacting positively to Goldfinger. Not only that, but Goldfinger not having missed a single beat and sounding just as good as they did 30 years ago.
After watching many of these videos all I have to say is that Jaxon’s parents 100% raised him on great music.
Jaxon is the person who you trust to have the aux cable on a road trip.
@@blackerguy999 the other kids: “what’s an aux cord?” 😂
I was a ska kid. And I guess to this day, I am a ska adult (which sounds like an oxymoron, but you're only as old as you feel). From the Skatalites to Sublime, Reel Big Fish and Goldfinger to Catch 22/Streetlight Manifesto, ska is gold. Very sweet to see these kids enjoy the music I (never?) grew up on ;)
Exactly how I feel I still listen to all of it mad caddies, reel big fish and catch 22 are constantly on and I never grew out of it.
Streetlight Manifesto - A Better Place, A Better Time should be on every Ska playlist.
We didn’t know how good we had it in the 90’s, man.
The 90s was easily the most diverse era of the 20th century. So many styles coming and going in such a short time frame
I love this video. I don't care about the inaccuracies, I just like watching the kids getting into it. In fact, you showed them enough ska where they started to realize which songs actually weren't ska! Brilliant!
Here here!!!! Any attention paid to ska is fine by me!!! Keep skankin'!
There was so much unearned hate for Ska in the early 00s, it makes me really happy to see kids just enjoying the energy and good vibes!
I was born in ‘71, found Ska through Madness and The Specials and I’ve been skankin’ ever since.
Okay as awsome as that was, they totally should have at least talked about skanking. One simply cannot listen to Ska without subconsciously doing the Skank!
Agree!!!
Preach
Truer words have never been spoken
I think that was the idea of REACT. Just explaining to them in the meantime and at the end. To check first reactions.
@@geraldblu3229 True.
i recently heard someone describe ska as the music that plays in a 13 year old boy's head when he finds out there will be extra mozzarella sticks and it kinda fits. it carries that vibe of happiness with a level of purity un-corrupted by anything above base-functions. ska just feels good, you dance and dont care that you look like a fool, you vibe thru a warehouse doing sick kickflips on your skateboard with chunky graphics on a playstation. i'm old enough to have experienced this as it happened and the memories attached to this music will be treasured forever. i kinda feel like maybe the world needs a revival of ska. a little bit of sun and happiness and silliness. the world's too dark and serious these days and it seems like nobody's having much fun.
When that kid said bring this back please, I couldn't agree more. We need more ska.
Sublime continued after Bradley's death, called 'Sublime with Rome'. I heard they're going on tour now with Bradley's son Jakob (replacing Rome)
Calling Goldfinger a bunch of old guys though 💀 I've now felt my own mortality.
Rancid stemmed from Operation Ivy. One of the most inspirational ska-punk bands.
Having been the guitarist of a popular ska-reggae-punk band for almost 20 years myself (shared the stage with all the "greats" including with the guys from Sublime) I was finally happy to see the one kid recognized that the most important element that makes ska "ska" is the chunk chunk rhythm of the guitar, NOT the horns. Not all ska tunes have horns, but ALL ska songs have that certain staccato rhythm chunk of the guitar. ... This is a very entertaining and fun video to watch their reactions. ... By the way that girl's reaction on not understanding what Tim Armstrong (Rancid) was saying was HILARIOUS! I feel ya girl, I could never understand most of what he sings since Operation Ivy! 🤣
What?! No Operation Ivy?! You can't talk the American Ska music scene without Op Ivy.
This
🎯
Yeah you can. As they're the originators of ska/punk. Not necessarily ska.
Ska shows are the only place where you find a guy in a full dress and hat and a crustpunk jumping in the same crowd. We all love ska.
As a literal 90s kid (born 1990), thank you, REACT, for showing everyone the 90s had something to offer. We appreciate it.
I am a 80s kid (Born 1986) and same to you and it was all thanks to watching MTV in the 90s
1990! ✊️
Born in 90? Unless you were listening to Ska in elementary school I'm guessing barney and the power rangers were more your speed at the time? No hate just saying.
@@BA-vv4jy You don't know *what* I listened to.
You were only 9 in 1999. 90s kids were born in the 80s.
Would have been nice to see some FIshbone, Selecter, Specials, English Beat, and then explain some of the reasons why Ska become popular, especially the 2Tone aspects. It has some good history behind it.
Or The Squirrel Nut Zippers, Buck O nine,
@@flaysol7719 Buck O Nine!!!! Haven't thought about them in forever
They definitely covered it at a suuuuuper surface level. I was honestly surprised they mentioned the waves in the first place, though. But third wave is as good a gateway drug as any into ska as a whole. Bopping to third wave will open the door to curiosity, and eventually lead to things like 2tone, and the kids were definitely enjoying third wave... So there's hope!
Yes. I’d even say The Skatalites, early Bob Marley even and original Jamaican ska first. Then some tunes from The Clash and second wave ska like mention above plus Madness, etc. Then Fishbone and later including punk ska like Operation Ivy and others of the great suggestions above. Hepcat to close it out as a modern throwback.
Well said!
This kids will never experience the chaos of seeing reel big fish and gold finger at warped tour in the 100 heat in Southern California. Just a bygone era.
Did anyone bother to tell these kids that Travis Barker was in The Aquabats before he was in Blink 182?????
They don't know who Blink 182 is, so it was irrelevant.
I didn't know that.
@@AHHHsomeINC Yes, but Travis produced a lot of music that these kids would know. Like a lot of the recent MGK stuff, YungBlud, Lil Aaron, and so on.
@@lessonsinfailing Yeah, his stage name was "The Baron Von Tito" and he was the drummer from '96 to '98.
We are long overdue for a Ska revival. If punk could come back to the radio waves then so should it.
It’s already here, just check out all the releases Bad Time Records has put out. If something’s on the radio that means it’s a fad that will die out, all of the best ska is not on the radio.
lots of ska bands have been killing it for years! check out some of the bands on my label (ska punk international) and on bad time records. so many sick bands still making it happen!
Punk as a generic style will never go away because it's the launching point for most underground rock. To quote a favorite of mine, "3 chords and 6 strings. Screaming how they're gonna change things. They're young, they're strong, they're proud! We turn it up cuz we like it loud!" Most "progressive" musicians started in punk, then "progressed" lol
Ska, however, is it's own niche. Predates punk by a few decades and doesn't have the mainstream appeal, but it never went away. I got into ska 22 years ago after the death of 3rd wave and I find new stuff pretty regularly.
When it comes to music nothing ever truly dies, you just have to seek it out
It is there if you look for it. Some Bruno Mars tracks are Ska influenced. More pop Ska than Punk though.
I actually heard The Interrupters track "She's a Match (I'm Kerosene)" on the regular radio recently. Made me so happy
I'm so happy to see a positive response out of the teens for Ska. It's certainly in a league of its own.
Did she just say that the mighty mighty bosstones wore "porcupine" hats? 😂 They're called pork pie hats!
I thought it sounded like she misspoke - a woman wearing a shirt with Yale written on the front doesn't know what pork pie hats are.
lol the song they picked for Sublime, I don't think those kids were paying attention to the lyrics
They followed it up with zoot suit riot: so it got worse.
Came to the comments to see if anybody else saw this lol. Wrong Way, such a happy song!
When they asked who Gwen was I felt my soul slowly get sucked out of me. - a 19 year old
I highly recommend listening to Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphy, and Fiddler's Green. The Ireland Ska bands, they are pretty awesome😁!
The fact that the specials and streetlight manifesto are not on here is criminal
This is a fair request
And I promise I will not judge any person
Only as a teenager
If you will constantly remind yourself
That some of my generation
Judges people by their race
Their belief or the colour of their skin
And that this is no more right than saying
"All teenagers are drunken dope addicts or glue sniffers"
Still have my Rock N Roll Pizzeria 7" with the etching on the B side!
I LOVE SKA MUSIC, one of the best genres of the 90s
It's funny that Sofia says The Aquabats reminds her of a Nickelodeon show, the singer, Christian Jacobs was one of the main creators of Yo Gabba Gabba!
Tragic Kingdom is a timeless album.
Specials,English Beat,Bad Manners? Selection left out the goats of the genre
As a lifelong fan of Ska music, thank you for introducing this to a whole new generation.
Um. Did they skip The Specials? You can't have Ska School without The Specials.
But Rancid. YES!!!
Travis Barker was the drummer for the Aquabats pre Blink-182. He lucked out because there were a zillion pop punk bands, & almost none can still tour, & make money.
Missing catch 22 or streetlight manifesto song keaspy nights. Five Iron frenzy older stuff love it all. Great video
Yes! Digging those bands. I was also a big Buck-O-Nine fan.
These kids are adorable, would definitely take them to a ska show with me back in the day. My friends and I would have had a great time teaching them about skanking to the rhythm. And not to be TOO nitpicky, but it's "porkpie" hats, not "porcupine" hats.
I’m so ready for Ska to make a big comeback 😁
It’s already here, check out Catbite, We Are the Union, Skatune Network, JER, Eichlers, Joystick, The Best of the Worst, Bad Operation, and Omnigone!
@@RdCrestdBreegull You can't leave out The Interrupters from current hot ska bands 👍🏻
The lack of "The Specials" is outright disrespectful!
"This doesn't sound like anything thats out today." The Interrupters would like a word
The Interrupters are single-handedly bringing the 4th wave
I think these kids were in middle school when they had that hit.
The omission of Fishbone and Operation Ivy (technically ska/punk) might be a crime.
The title says 90s ska. Wrong decade.
Ska is still alive and well, check out any of the newer bands on Bad Time Records! 🏁
Whoever picked Wrong Way for an episode with kids is kinda fucked up lol
That was my first thought 😂😂😂😂
Aren’t all Sublime songs just Brad struggling with drugs?
Yeah kind of glad that they didn't seem to notice that. Of course I was about their age when that song came out and I loved it then so who am I to judge.
this video brought me back to my teenage years, honestly 90's were the Gold era of music
Also how is 2nd wave mentioned without The Specials????
Right! Absolutely love Madness but cmon...
Ska and swing are not the same
She said Ska led to the revival of swing
Skaw music
@@sergionunez6426 one of the kids referred to it as jazz. 😂
Ska is Mento and Soca! Which are Cuban of origin put together you gave ska! The national sound of Jamaica certainly not swing! I been a RudeBoy all my life from age 13 1983!
@@J_L_V Big band and swing was a branch of jazz
Travis Barker was the drummer of Aquabats from 96' to 98'
Long live Ska.. Too bad you don't show them The Specials!
Would have loved to see the Specials featured. They're blend of the Jamaica and brit-punk sounds was revolutionary.
Did you notice Terry Hall in the No Doubt video.
Probably the best, and most direct band they could have used as an example of this genre!
Are parents just not playing music for their children? My kids hear this stuff all the time.
"No one knows what sublime is, but every one has the shirt?!!, that says it all folks, it's over, it's done
It's the same with Nirvana.
I love how they show them Wong Way, and the kids are all “it’s so upbeat!” Totally missing the point that it’s about hooking. 😂
@@bug0girl5971right?? “She looks like she only dates bad boys.” Like, please listen to the lyrics 😆
I didnt agree with all the choices, but it made my heart happy to see these kids get the same happy feeling i got when i heard this stuff in the 90s, and still today
How could they not mention Travis Barker being the Aquabats drummer, those kids would've lost their shit.
Baron von Tito was even in that video.
Ya, I like the teens react stuff in general, but there was a lot of missed opportunities and poor band choices in this one
We needed some Five Iron Frenzy And OC Supertones
Travis is super rad on drums
I´m 29 and having already a midlife crisis seeing this video, I grew up with this music thanks to my older cousin
ps. Third wave was pretty strong here in Latin America!
‘It looks like they’re having fun’
Yes we used to do that back in the day
Aww, this made me so happy, this was the soundtrack of teens and early 20's!!! Such a good time!!
Ska/punk was the music of my teen years
Showing kids wrong way and them not listening to it. "It's so fun"
Lol
I wish the presenter had actual knowledge of the music they were presenting
Was thinking the same
Should’ve had the specials , the beat, bad manners . Most of the songs they have put jn this vid arnt even ska
"jamaica's like the most chill country!" hoo boy do i have news for you buddy
Ska reminds me of the good times as a teenager in the late 90s, early 2000s.
I was in high school when Ska was big and I absolutely loved it. Glad to see that some of these kids enjoy the sound.
Less Than Jake is a seriously underrated band.
love Less than Jake!!!
Yeah they're great.
Love Less Than Jake. They are so freaking good live.
Just for for... The Jonas brothers covered a ltj song.
It was nice to see Terry Hall (RIP) in No Doubt video, since he was part of the second wave.
RIP Bradley Nowell
Should Have Mentioned Some Of The British Bands More & 2 Tone (Like The Specials, The Selector, Judge Dread, Bad Manners, The Beat, Rico Rodrigues etc.)
Ghost Town should have 100% been included.
Scratch Dread..... not very family friendly for this bunch
"I love that it looks like they filmed it with an old school camera." They...they did...
😂
just saw Madness last week in Seattle, and they KILLED IT.
"No one knows what Sublime is, but everyone has the shirt." I like him and think he's insightful beyond his years.
Ska has been described as what plays in a 13 year Olds head when it's their birthday and there's extra mozzarella sticks
Makes me feel old, but man makes me think it's time for an other wave of Ska!
Ska never went away. Tons of music out there. You have to do your part to keep it alive, brother. Don't wait for the industry to tell you when to listen to music✌️🤟🖖
@@tnzwest I talking to people around my area and starting a ska group and its happening
No mention of The Specials?
Yes one of the early ones and they should have been here, but I think they just looked up MTV or something rather than consulting with someone that was into the scene.
I appreciated that Rancid was included in this video. And that girls description of Tim Armstrong's vocal style was very accurate.
But they said Tim Armstrong looked like Flea of all people. I... just have no words.
I saw the Bosstones back in '98. Still to this day, even after all the other bands I've seen, they are still one of my top 3 favorite live performances ever. ETA: It was at a music festival. They were the next-to-last performance. Right after them, Crystal Method took the stage to finish out the concert. That's another group I'd highly recommend seeing live. And, seeing one right after the other was just so awesome! 😊
Saw Boss Tones live for free in downtown Melbourne FL. Not studio artists. They sound just like on track. Awesome show to say the least. Would have love to see The Crystal Method too.
No exaggerating? I’ve seen MMB over at least maybe… 80-100 times. Kindaaaa had an obsession … knock on wood was when I started not liking them as much- but - my friends had a ska band and we’re pretty big in our state so they played with them a lot- their shows are still to this day- hands down top tier for fun and the energy !!!!
In b4:
Ska is the music that plays in a 13 year old kid's head when he gets extra mozzarella sticks
I wish I could take my kids back to the 90's for a day.
props for including The Aquabats :) but overall brilliant - loved the little history breakdown and the off-beat lesson too!!
I was a teenager in the 90's and have multiple Sublime shirts that I still wear today. I've never felt older than when I heard "Nobody knows who Sublime is but everyone has the shirt." 🤣
Ska is the ultimate happy music. You can't listen to it and be in a bad mood. Goldfinger, Bosstones, suicide machines. Always playing during summertime.
These kids will never grow up and go out to a club where SKA is played and everyone is dancing like they own the place! Glad I grew up at the right time!
dude! Skankin' was the main reason i went to ska concerts. Loved the comradery when everyone just busted out dancing. Felt part of the family. (shows the guy skankin on the Specials cover)
I used to play the triangle in a band, but I quit.
It was just one ting after another.
I wonder how many of those kids' minds would be blown if you told them that a founding member of the Aquabats went on to create Yo Gabba Gabba.
As a child of the 90's who now has a podcast to talk about ska, thanks for making us fans feel seen.
I’m really sad you didn’t teach them about Skanking.
Yes skanking, skanking in the (mosh) pit the dance for Ska music
Is anyone going to tell them how dark "Wrong Way" by Sublime is???
This song is "so fun"
The girl "dates bad boys"
...sure dates
Porcupine hats! LOOOOOOOL! Pork pie hats, I can understand if they'd not seen it written down but an oversight there, by the production staff. :P
Ska is such a good genre especially Real Big Fish and Aquabats
Im impressed by how often the kids recognized something. "this song has caffeine" best description ever. Orange Puppet Lover is an awesome band name.
Sublime and Ska is about to blow up to an entire new generation with the release of their Biopic
movie coming out in 2023/2024 by Hunger Games director Francis Lawrence. I am slo releasing a Documentary
on Sublime in 2023 so be on the look out for that. Sublime & Bradley Nowell forever... RIP ✌
Peace & Love
My boss is a really junkie for Sublime, would probably be so excited about this I'd have to revive him with Narcan.
@@jazzycup9274 He has very good taste in music! 😉 Prepare him for some of the most in depth stories on Sublime nobody has ever heard. I hope to really peel back some of the layers on the untold history of this band though contacts I have from Long Beach CA. This band has pretty much directed the entire path of my life choosing to pursue music, as i'm sure thousands to millions of more individuals who first heard Sublime.
I feel Bradley was one of the most talented and driven individuals to ever grace the music industry. You will understand more when you see this doc.
It truly is one of the most beautiful tragic stories ever told.
This guy was a musical genius and still pains me to this day that he is gone from this Earth not able to spend life with his family and create music.
Thank you for passing onto your friend, a fellow Sublime fan for life.
@@michaelkozma5929 Sublime is the best band ever! Cheers from Brazil! Look all the love Bradley found!
God damn this makes me feel old 😂
“Nobody knows Sublime….but everyone has the shirt.” Ughhhhhh you’re killing me kid! Lmao
Man, these songs all take me back to how fun the 90s were as a teenager. It really did feel like a happy time back then.
All these kids baffeled by aquabats, less they realize they were raised on yo-gaba-gaba 😂 also where travis barker started before blink 182
Kid: Nobody knows who Sublime is, but they wear their t-shirts.
Me: Only in your generation, kid. Everyone in my high school knew who Sublime was.
Ska is eternal.
Voodoo Glow Skullz, Operation Ivy, The Suicide Machines. All should've been included
At least they got lint in rancid
Yes!
" I like when they make it look like it was filmed on an old camera"
That's because they definitely did, and now I feel old as hell hahaha
