Basically, some people started incorporating gloomy aspects to punk aesthetics and music. Gloomy aspects from literature, film, tropes. Some were looking to express similar political sentiments but in a more metaphorical way, I suppose; that's my impression, that there was an added element of artistry/artsy there. Some were looking to add also subjective themes (madness, unlove, etc.). Example (Bauhaus - In the Flat Field).
This gave us post-punk and similar sounds in the very late 70s and mostly early 80s. You probably know some bands that were influential. Example. (The Cure - The Hanging Garden).
Anyway, the mohawk grew longer, blacker. Still teased, often shaved, but creepier. The leyering in clothing also became blacker or creepier (transparent layers, protagonism of the net layers). Theatrical and extravagant outfits emerged, inspired by the decade's fashion too. Example in music video A. (Alien Sex Fiend - R.I.P.). Example in music video B. (Specimen - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)
Famously, the night club called "The Batcave" started reuniting bands and listeners, and in the 80s many countries had similar venues. A little more aggressive or punkier sound persisted with a genre called deathrock. There was now post-punk, deathrock, goth rock, darkwave (inspired by the synth-driven genres of the 80s), etc. Example A. (The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia my Reflection) Example B. (The Frozen Autumn - Is Everything Real?).
The subculture was consolidated around these genres, and then the name "Goth" stayed, and then more communication and inspiration... And nowadays social media keeps many things alive through teachings in video and, I guess, text, like this one. Why? In part, because [context] a person that is new to all this world is called a "baby bat" and [/context] most Goths are protective and integrating of baby bats.
And that's it. There was a good deathrock revival in the late 00s and early 10s. Example. (Cinema Strange - I Remember Tendon Water). And today there's an obsession to bring back the original elements but it's all still very different (and often cliched, which I don't like, personally).
Yeah, after commenting that I considered that what some people consider goth is actually post-punk (the punk connection should be obvious), but then remembered goth rock exists obviously does not come from punk. Ska and emo though for sure, emo by ways of post-hardcore, by ways of hardcore, by ways of protopunk and you've already covered the ska lineage
I can't claim deep familiarity with that era, but I've never heard of punk being derived from ska. Garage rock, Velvet Underground, The Stooges were the progenitors of punk, and in neither those nor Ramones, New York Dolls, Suicide, or Sex Pistols can I hear any traces of ska. It's rather that these bands, Ramones in particular, were returning to raw energy of rock-n-roll and garage rock, against the fancy glam-rock.
Ska, reggae and dub certainly influenced post-punk, and in turn punk influenced the second wave of ska, both emerging almost simultaneously around '78-79.
Anyone feel to correct me if k get any of this wrong, but punk as a genre evolved primarily in a cosmopolitan London ( unsure how much other English cities contributed - someone else can comment) where working class locals and immigrants from countries from across the British empire that had immigrated to London brought their local music with them - first wave aka, reggae, rock and roll, dub(?) all influenced young working class londoners and influenced the development of punk which was firmly rooted in class consciousness, a diy ethos, and rebellion against the rigid classist system of post war England.
Everything you're talking about came later.
You might not necessarily hear the musical influence of some of these genres in the first punk bands that became well known, but the cultural impact of fans of these genres of music was integral to the development of a punk rock ethos that embraced working class solidarity, rebellion against authority, and diy.
The New York CBGB scene preceded the London scene, from what I can tell, and there was also the Cleveland scene. Punk seems to have been imported to London from NY by Malcolm McLaren, band manager and store owner, rather than working-class folks. Dunno who played punk in the UK before Sex Pistols.
UK punk was of course influenced by the rude boy and skinhead subcultures, but I don't think that manifested musically. Pure punk-rock doesn't quite have any of ska's danceable quality that can't be traced to rock'n'roll and garage rock instead.
Goth-rock started from post-punk, with Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees following the lead of Joy Division. Not sure what kind of goth-rock you mean that didn't start there.
Open question to the floor: what is the most "Ska" song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most stereotypical "Ska" a song could possibly be.
Edit: I've got some listening to do, thanks for the responses, keep them coming! I've never heard of half these bands, and while Ska isn't usually my thing I definitely vibe with some of them.
Commenting both to track these Ska recommendations, I fucking love Ska. But also to recommend Life Sucks...Let's Dance by Reel Big Fish, to my that song really hits the nail on the head in a cliché way. I constantly tell my wife, who reminds me I tell her that every time we are listening to it lol
AAA and Link80 are very much not "the most ska", they are very hardcore leaning ska, which is really a few steps too far from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.
AAA and Link 80 were my intro to ska in the late 90s. someone tossed 17 reasons, all fall down and question the answers in my lap and was like "this is your music, im sorry". so skacore is just where it starts in my brain. then it skirts around the gross pit of anything tim armstrong touched and moves to 2tone, then new tone.
little surprised JER and bad opperation didnt pop up in the comments here. but i suppose it's comment thread about ska in a shit post community, not a music specific one.
Nu metal is bipolar. Its either "the world is broken but ignore it with the help of a song that has no right to be this groovy" or "the world is broken and thats why im setting the whole fucking place on fire including myself"
Its either “the world is broken but ignore it with the help of a song that has no right to be this groovy”
Also, "I'm broken, here's a sad and angry song about it that has no right to be this groovy". Nu metal was/is big on introspection and personal tragedies instead of societal tragedies, though introspection =/= wisdom.
Uhh thats kinda hard to answer cause nobodys gonna be happy with it. Nu metal is a kind of contraversial genre because nobody agrees on what it is exactly and every artist seems to say that theyre not actually nu metal. My top five would be Korn, deftones, limp bizkit, slipknot, system of a down. The most famous is probably linkin park which you definitely know but they are kinda their own seperate entity. Rage against the machine is also kinda seperate tho still kinda nu metal. As for songs i recommend to get s feeling for the genre: Freak on a leash, blind, break stuff, change, be quiet and drive, aerials and eyeless.
Damn, I didn't realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don't even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!
Just different stages of grief. The world is broken. Maybe we can fix some parts of it but nobody is going to singlehandedly fix everything. Trying to fix it is the bargaining stage of grief. Being upset that you can't do anything is the depression stage. Embracing it is the acceptance stage. Can't change the world but we can change our attitude.

Weirdcore: World is broken so I've been slamming Monster energy drinks for 48 hours straight and now I'm delirious and hallucinating the nineties.

I don't know what the exact genre name is but Opeth's Eternal Rains Will Come comes to mind
D&D: world is broken let's adventure

Pop: I have a crush on a boy. World broken? Sorry, um... I don't follow the news.
Gangsta Rap: I'm the king of this 'hood, and don't give a shit about anything happening outside of it.
Country: My truck is my whole world, and the world is broken.
Classical: I will describe the great forces at play that are breaking the world using music.
Death Metal: RAARRRAOARAAAGHHH (booklet with the lyrics probably says "world is broken let's fuck shit up" )
Alternatively, “if you piss blood it's a symptom of kidney issues”.
That's my buddy's grindcore combo's name!

Re: the ska quote - There's a sticker at a venue here with Batman pimp slapping Robin as he says this that I think about a lot.
3/4ths of these are just punk subgenres lol
YOU'RE a punk subgenre >:(
YO MOMMA is a punk subgenre!
...
She's awesome!
I concur, their momma is mighty fine.
The three that are not punk itself. Emo and goth both came out of punk, and ska was fused with punk by the time of two-tone.
I'm genuinely curious how Goth came out of Punk.

Here's some Goth music from 'recent' years. (Lebanon Hanover - Gallowdance).
Another one. (Boy Harsher - Fate).
And another one. (The Cemetery Girlz - Broken Teeth)
More knowledgeable Goths, correct or add as needed...
Thanks, it turns out I didn't know what goth music was.
Thank you too, love this kind of random enlightening comments!
Holy moses, thanks for all that effort! Good read!

Ska and emo though for sure, emo by ways of post-hardcore, by ways of hardcore, by ways of protopunk and you've already covered the ska lineage
My understanding is punk came about at least in part of the first wave of ska, not the other way around.
Though I could be mistaken.
I can't claim deep familiarity with that era, but I've never heard of punk being derived from ska. Garage rock, Velvet Underground, The Stooges were the progenitors of punk, and in neither those nor Ramones, New York Dolls, Suicide, or Sex Pistols can I hear any traces of ska.

Post punk. And dub, glam, reggae, Krautrock.
“Mozart came from Gregorian chants.“
No Patrick, Goth and Emo are not
an instrumentpunk.Emo literally stands for "Emotive Hardcore", i.e "Hardcore Punk"
Goth music is rooted in Post-Punk.

Edit: I've got some listening to do, thanks for the responses, keep them coming! I've never heard of half these bands, and while Ska isn't usually my thing I definitely vibe with some of them.
None of these are stereotypical but I think I covered part of the range.
The Science of Selling Yourself Short, Less than Jake
Ghost Town, The Specials
Beer, Reel Big Fish
I know you too well to like you anymore, Reel big fish
Keasby Nights, Catch 22
A Better Place, A Better Time, Streetlight Manifesto.
For the 90s ska revival, I think Reel Big Fish takes the cake for most ska-ish ska band
https://youtu.be/NIGMUAMevH0
It's not the best ska song by a country mile, but it's definitely the most ska song. At least as far as third wave goes.
Definitely the first one I thought of. If you're going by most well known, and recognizably ska, then yes this.
surprised this isnt #1. Def the most stereotypical and well known ska song
for the lazy, it's The Impression that I get
Millie Small's ‘My Boy Lollipop’ from 1964 is the original ska song that made the genre popular outside Jamaica.
Of the second-wave aka two-tone ska: The Selecter's ‘On My Radio’, Madness' ‘Night Boat To Cairo’, The Specials' ‘A Message To You Rudy’.
Streetlight manifesto is probably one of the more popular ska bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOqenYis1iQ
Streetlight fucking slaps. I can't name a bad song of theirs.
We're getting a new album sometime totally soon, for real this time, and they still won't have a bad song
To me, madness - one step beyond is definitive ska
It's a cover, btw.
https://youtu.be/9NxMlG3M40k
Varies by generation of ska.
Which is a cover of Prince Buster's track from 1964.
Commenting both to track these Ska recommendations, I fucking love Ska. But also to recommend Life Sucks...Let's Dance by Reel Big Fish, to my that song really hits the nail on the head in a cliché way. I constantly tell my wife, who reminds me I tell her that every time we are listening to it lol
Modern Ska i'd say
Flying Raccoon Suit afterglow
We Are The Union Out Of Patience
Half Past Two Barrier For Entry
of the older stuff, a few greats i havent seen mentione yet would be
Against All Authority All Fall Down
Link 80 enough
AAA and Link80 are very much not "the most ska", they are very hardcore leaning ska, which is really a few steps too far from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.
AAA and Link 80 were my intro to ska in the late 90s. someone tossed 17 reasons, all fall down and question the answers in my lap and was like "this is your music, im sorry". so skacore is just where it starts in my brain. then it skirts around the gross pit of anything tim armstrong touched and moves to 2tone, then new tone.

Decent recommendations here, but I will always suggest the ska version of I Wanna Riot for playlist purposes.
I've always wanted to see a high school band cover this, and every year I just want that more.
Nu metal is bipolar. Its either "the world is broken but ignore it with the help of a song that has no right to be this groovy" or "the world is broken and thats why im setting the whole fucking place on fire including myself"
Also, "I'm broken, here's a sad and angry song about it that has no right to be this groovy". Nu metal was/is big on introspection and personal tragedies instead of societal tragedies, though introspection =/= wisdom.
As a former nu metal fan this definitely sums up the genre perfectly
Damn, now I need to learn about Nu Metal! Who do I listen to in the first batch?
Uhh thats kinda hard to answer cause nobodys gonna be happy with it. Nu metal is a kind of contraversial genre because nobody agrees on what it is exactly and every artist seems to say that theyre not actually nu metal. My top five would be Korn, deftones, limp bizkit, slipknot, system of a down. The most famous is probably linkin park which you definitely know but they are kinda their own seperate entity. Rage against the machine is also kinda seperate tho still kinda nu metal. As for songs i recommend to get s feeling for the genre: Freak on a leash, blind, break stuff, change, be quiet and drive, aerials and eyeless.
Country: the world is broken but so is my pickup
Those are the songs about fords.
Jazz: The world is broken and it's beautiful

Ska is what plays in a 13 year old boy's head when he finds an extra mozzarella stick.
Country: the truck is broken and there is an odd beauty in family parts.
family parts?
Noise: lol noise
Ska is basically: the world’s on fire, but we’re still bringing horns and a two-step. Honestly… fair.
World Inferno/Friendship Society. They got it all.
Damn, I didn't realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don't even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!
Yo I got a sax. We just need a bass player and we got a band
Don't forget us trombone players.
But what will the other 6 members of the band play then?!
spoons
do i look like i got healthcare?
Uhhhhhhh noye?

For your listening pleasure.
Where is the beauty in billionaires taking over the world and fucking everybody?

Industrial: The world is broken and has been for a while so let's go to the abandoned husk of the inner city, throw a party, and make insane music before it crashes down around our ears.
It all sounds so dated now... I used to listen to all this stuff.
These all represent the good old days to me. Almost like we were manufacturing our own angst because things were relatively nice.
IS there a variation of emo music where it's like "The world is broken, but that's okay - I'm fighting to deal with the broken parts"
These are the four stages of Rand al'Thor
