I see no reason to not migrate the two articles. To0n 06:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do. Ska-punk faster stuff like - AAA, Flatliners, Suicide Machines, Choking Victim. Ska-core heavier stuff like - older Bosstones, Capdown etc. I can't imagine the two sub-genres being merged at all. I'll find time or other people to fix this article soon. --Btl 20:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- It's getting obvious that nobody's going to expand this article or the ska punk article. It's silly to have articles that are just a few sentences. If they were combined, at least there would be some substance, and you could explain the differences between the two genres within the article.Spylab 14:49, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Spylab[reply]

- - I don't think "Ska-core" needs it's own page. If you look into the term "ska-core" it was made up by the Bosstones in the 1980's to describe their music because people around them felt the need to put a label on it. It appeared in their EP title, Ska-core, the devil and More. The other bands you're listing as "ska-core" are the same bands as the ones listed as "ska-punk" bands. You cannot say Ska-core is faster than Ska punk. Example is this, Choking Victim were just as hard, and as soft as Leftover Crack. The Suicide Machines have songs that range from classic pop tunes to full-on 2 min hardcore songs. clash77 - August12, 2006

- - - Yeah but, Ska-CORE? Like heavy heavy Bosstones or heavy Capdown as compared to light and whiney LoC and Suicide Machines pre-s/t (because we all know post-Battle Hymns, even Post-DBD is bullshit lame Suicide Machines), is much different. Seriously, merge them if you want, CV/LoC are the same band, never did they sound hard and heavy like circa Bosstones, Capdown, NoComply, Voodoo Glow Skulls. There is a difference, I'm just too drunk to put it into words. Ska-Punk, Ska-Pop, Trad-Ska, Ska-Core, Two-Tone etc etc. Much difference. Especially when it meant so much to establishing the Bosstones. ->Btl 02:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - I wouldn't consider CV/LoC light, they have heavier songs than the Bosstones ever did. As for TSM, they had some light stuff, but on every album they had stuff that got harder and harder with each passing album. I just think if you really want to separate these two items, dont list the same bands in each article, it doesn't jive. Early bosstones is all i would consider to be a "ska-core" type sound, after Let's Face It, they never got as hard as their early efforts. I would still just mention the "ska-core" label within the Ska-Punk article and call it a day. clash77 - August 13, 2006

I agree that there's not enough of a distinction to warrant two articles. Ska-Core is a subgenre of Ska Punk, and should be merged into that article. It wouldn't take much effort, since the Ska-core article barely has any content.Spylab 15:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Spylab[reply]

Merged

I merged Ska-Core into Ska Punk, copying and pasting some of the content there. It's rediculous to have a whole separate article for Ska Core, when there's hardly any content, and no full definition of what makes it different from Ska Punk.Spylab 18:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)Spylab[reply]
