Without ‘Cultural appropriation’ we wouldn’t have Ska, think about that, think about it long and hard.
That’s not cultural appropriation…you shouldn’t use words if you don’t know what they mean…
and besides the white boy ska that OP is referring to is a shittier take on actual ska and Jamaican music. like, super shitty.
Was that an argument for or against cultural appropriation? Because the recreated ska is horrendous.
‘Recreated’ ska?
If you weren’t there, Britain was transformed into a mail order version of The Wailin Wailers album cover almost overnight, though it probably didn’t know it at the time. Before the birth of the woeful sports casual, the working class dressed up for the weekend and the easily attainable and striking evocation of mid 60’s Jamaica was too irresistible for those who founds punks sartorial alienation just that bit too alienating.

That’s from the “about the band” portion of The Specials’ website (who you invoked as real ska). Absolutely, 100% appropriation/recreation of an era— sound and look included— in Jamaican pop history.
and thank you OP for providing us with a prime example of why cultural appropriation is a fucking problem
b/c everyone thinks the white version of whatever white people are stealing is THE original
you didn’t even fucking know ska originated in Jamaica
thank you, oh wise and white one
