One thing that has become extremely clear to me as I have done this Other People's Music project for years: even the most unpopular, critically scorned backwaters of music have been deeply influential and have passionate, generations-deep fanbases.

@etherdiver Bandcamp has a bunch of really excellent indie ska music and that's a genre that most people who aren't specifically into it tend to treat like a joke.

@Owlor I’ll always have a soft spot for ska!

Do you have any favorites at hand? Would love some recommendations on Bandcamp.

@jgarber The album Ordinary Life by We Are The Union comes to mind https://wearetheunion.bandcamp.com/album/ordinary-life
Ordinary Life, by We Are The Union

11 track album

We Are The Union
@jgarber Then there's Tape Girl, which mixes ska, alternative rock and electronic/chiptune together https://tapegirl.bandcamp.com/
Tape Girl

Tape Girl is a fun tapey, and cute music project created by Beth Rivera.

@Owlor OMG that cover of "Mr. Telephone Man"…!
