Ska Sucks
Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fucks
And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck
But the trend will die out with any luck
Rudy, A message to you Rudy [x3]

FUCK YOU RUDY!
Ska Sucks
Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fucks
And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck
But the trend will die out with any luck

Overall Meaning

Against All Authority's song "Ska Sux" is a punk rock song that criticizes the ska revival, a movement that occurred in the 1990s where young musicians re-discovered and popularized the ska music of the 1960s. The lyrics of the song reflect the band's contempt for ska music and those who listen to it. The line "Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fucks" is a direct attack on those who participate in the ska scene, and the line "And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck" is a dismissive statement directed at anyone who disagrees with the band. The song's chorus, which repeats the line "Rudy, A message to you Rudy" is a reference to a classic ska song titled "A Message to You Rudy" by The Specials.


Overall, the song is a critique of the ska revival movement that dominated the punk rock scene in the 1990s. The band seems to believe that the trend will eventually, and hopefully, die out. The song serves as a defiant rejection of the ska revival and the mainstream music industry in general.
