Is 90s Music Nostalgia Holding Us Back? A "greatest hit" from the archives. Nostalgia is a dead end. The future is an open road. If the music you want to hear doesn't exist yet... create it. Save this for when you need a reminder to invent the future

Music w/ HEART? It's more likely than you'd think! Maybe not on the radio, but we're all living through this together, musicians included. If you know where to look you'll find a new fav band for every day of the week & more on the weekends

The real test: would you trust the crowd, or your own eyes? Nonconformity isn't punk. Discernment is. Save this reminder.

Why Music Gatekeeping is a Waste of Time! Life's too short to argue on the internet about what's "real ska." Reposting this as a reminder to spend less time arguing and more time discovering. Tag a new, cool band that deserves more listeners.

Wtf is "genrefluid"?? This was one of our most-loved posts, so we're bringing it back. When your identity is fluid, your art should be too. What does "genrefluid" mean to you? Let's talk in the comments.

SKA POP TAKEOVER. This is your sign to ignore the critics and go make your thing. Your art is desperately needed.

calling out 90s ska bands? yeah, for not still making da freakin muzic 💃 this also goes for anyone who thought about starting one and didn't. no time like the present (':

Radio music's the tip of the iceberg. They don't let just anyone on the radio, you know... probably for this exact reason.

Future ska is taking over. If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. This applies to art, too.

More theory = Better Ska. The eternal debate: does theory help or hinder creativity? We think it's all about the execution.

Looking cool is cringe. Real rebellion is a quiet and consistent choice.

SKA MISFITS? You'll fit right in. What two genres (or subcultures) do you feel stuck between?

True sci-fi would include ska. If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you. This applies to art, too.

PUNK TEST: 90% FAIL. A friendly reminder that the path of least resistance is rarely the most interesting one.
