what does it mean/stand for?

 

The "ska check" represents 2-tone.

the dude, is a symbol which came to represent ska/2-tone music.

 

If you google image search 2-tone, you'll see what I mean. two tones - black and white. :teeth:

 

It later influenced what is known as Third Wave ska. Which is where punk influences came in.

So you get Operation Ivy (later Rancid), and a whole host of other bands.

then later you get Pop Ska, SkaCore etc.

I was once anchored off New York for 2 weeks on a tanker (think it was in 2000 or 2001), and found a yank station that alternated a classic Ska track followed by a modern track.

I was in my element.

 

The skipper thought I was bonkers as I was skanking around the ships bridge!

 

And an ex of mine refers to it as "Clown Music" :lol:
