I haven't found any ska fans lately? So, I was wondering if anyone here's gotta thing for it? Like the Aquabats, Skatalites, Voodoo Glow skulls, Suicide Machines, Mad Caddies, or any other ska-ish bands?

It's not DEAD! It still exsists just because it isn't mainstream, but even the underground krap is dying out, and it saddens me but I guess I am one of the few that like it anyways!

What is Ska exactly. Are there any well-known, or semi-well-known bands that fit in to this genre?

Would Sublime be considered Ska?

I though it was during the mid 90s amongst Grunge.

Gonna agree with those who questioned if Ska was ever really alive.
The sheer monotony of the genre, like "punk", would have killed it's appeal so long ago. I, too, went through a ska phase. Bosstones, RBF, Aquabats, FIF, early No Doubt , Sublime, Dance Hall Crashers, BO9, LTJ, etc.
i sure hope it's not dying...Ska music was great. Bands like Buck-O-Nine, The Impossibles, Less Than Jake, Goldfinger, and of course RX-Bandits made the genre great...sadly a lot of these bands have since broken up or are jsut not at the top of their game anymore...really great genre, i'm sad that it's not as prevalent as it once was
