Aright, I'm gettin curious. Can anyone tell me when what waves of scenes came along... Like what rockabilly origionated from, and where it went, when ska came along, when the psycho scene started up (to some extent), when emo, metal, thrash, etc. all came into play... yeah. This is fun :D

I'm taking it gospel and jazz and hillbilly formed into rockabilly, and from that came rock n roll, then so on and so on... Anyone care to elaborate and stuff? with dates, names of biggest bands in a movement, etc... - Sat, 6 Dec 2003 6:49pm

Ska started in the 60's (Ernest Ranglin,Prince Buster , jimmy cliff...) 66 rocksteady showed up (The Paragons...)shortly after reggae came along. 1979ish Two Tone Ska showed up (madness, the specials...)in the UK and in the 90s ska came to north America (toasters, bim skala bim and tons of others to follow...). That kinda the info your looking for? I do believe its all correct but I'm sure someone will lemme know if its not - Sun, 7 Dec 2003 3:49am

not much. The earliest ska songs might be around 58-59 but they sounded a lot more like R&B than ska - Sun, 7 Dec 2003 5:19pm

The whole two tone scene (Specials, Selecter, English Beat et al) was actually the first ska REVIVAL (the second one was led by bands like the Bosstones). It seems that ska morphed into reggae as the pot got stronger and the music slowed down. - Mon, 8 Dec 2003 11:31am

Musical genres cannot be accurately represented as developing in independent waves, or even as a branching phylogeny: "Scenes" don�t develop independently, or as influenced from a single genera. The evolution is a complex reticulum of feed-back and feed-forward cyclic intercolalations, not even conceivable by the artists who initiated big movements, and especially by dumb little fuks like you or me. - Mon, 8 Dec 2003 12:38pm

My whole take on this situation...

If it's popular in Vancouver, it'll take 2-3 years to become popular over here (I witnessed the NiN craze :) - Tue, 9 Dec 2003 2:47am
