Now approaching 3 straight days of vibing to this song and this song only. I've had my mouse hovering over a purchase button for checkered Vans for more than half of that. Ska's back and thriving and I'm thrilled.

The scene never stopped (although it certainly diminished), but I admittedly didn't seek out the genre, let alone new bands. Shout out to the queer BIPOC that kept it going and are the reason it's becoming popular again.
I spent a lot of the last few years examining the bands I like and the white supremacy that rears its head in many genres I enjoy.
@Skatunenetwork's posts about ska and punk helped a lot. If your first thought when you hear ska is LTJ or RBF, follow them and start branching out.
