When I think of food courts and hi-jinks, there's only one god awful genre that comes to mind.

What is your Lowest Form of Music?
Gotta agree if you are talking about current poppy punk ska, but old 60's Jamaican ska is dope IMO. And I've got a soft spot for the 80's British stuff-The Specials, English Beat, Madness etc. For me it's Tejano, that mexican polka shit kills me!
I dunno about third wave ska, but you need to get familiar:
ska music is good when done right, 30 years ago.
as far as "lowest" form, in my opinion, music is just different notes. you get out of it what you put into it. if your objective is to make a pop hit and sell alot and have no one care about your shit next year, that's what you'll make. If you want to pour your heart and soul into a track that might not sell shit, but people will be checking for 20 years from now, good shit.
Punk Trash Heavy Hardcore Rock...or whatever you call it. People like Blue Oyster Cult and shit. You need to be sick to appreciate that kind of "noise".

I cannot stand 1980's synth-pop at any price, whether it's New Order or even some teenybopper act like A-Ha...yet all the new alt-rock bands coming out today like Office and We Are Wolves have that sound, and I like them quite a lot, so who's to say?
But I still won't be busting out with any Ministry...

Nope. Can't stand that shit.
I think what saves the newer bands like Office is that they sound a little more glammish. New Order and Heaven 17 and the rest, on the other hand, are just disco in new wave drag.

I don't have a "lowest form of music". Maybe this shows a lack of discrimination on my part, but I can usually find something worthwhile in pretty much any genre of music. I've even got a couple of Celine Dion 12"'s at home, for Christ's sake. I have to say, though, that while I don't actively dislike it, this strain of ska-punk which seems to be popular in parts of the US is kinda bewildering to me. It doesn't seem to have much to do with actual ska at all, and just sounds like an amped-up version of The Specials' punkier moments, which were always comparatively few and far between to begin with.
Anything that sounds like the Venga Boys feat. Crazy Frog on doublespeed. Trance, Hardcore Trance, whatever you want to call it.
Augustus Pablo and that "Studio One"-type output. There I said it. Perhaps recreational smoking would reveal some mental hook on which to gain purchase for further listening. But that's never been my thing.
Festival rock. Killers, Radiohead, whatever is being hyped to within an inch of it's life. If anyone tells me I am supposed to like something, it'll be the thing I debliberately set out to like the least. I can take some of the Fooeys though.
Rappers who are retarded. Mugs who parade "Cribs" around a gaff where your feet stick to the carpet and are unable to string a sentence together. Mugs who tell youth that criminal activity and non-contribution to society because you need 24" chrome rims are the only measures of success.
Really old Harlem World inaudible bootlegs of mediocre rhyming where everyone's raps seem to based on the same fridge-magnet rap sentence set.

i don't think you have ever heard an actual BOC song.
happy hardcore reggaeton trance drum machine merengue all new pop music from 1992 foward poser metal lite jazz cd 101.9 dentist chair and of course private press/rare glam redundo hkunt
good lord. This is so shockingly awful that i think there might be something to it. Once you pass a certain threshold of amazingly bad music i at least have to kind of respect it.
I can??t even imagine people honestly ENJOYING this music? I can??t even understand what drugs would be needed to make this bearable! Jeeeeez, imagining sitting down making a "best of" CD with this shit for your other gabber-loving friends, or even worse LIVING NEXT DOOR. It??s sonic torture for gods sake!
damn. this is it for me. I absolutely cant stand it.
Unfortunately most of the known world is all about it,
I know I know! Thankfully this kind of sound has quieted down a lot over here.
Check out that video though! Considering how much money this putrid slice of trance-vomit made when it came out I thought they would??ve been able to spend a bit more on a decent video, instead of some handheld camera bullshit farting about downtown Oslo!
This whole song, that "artist", that video is probably the worst example of conveyor-belt techno I??ve ever heard. ESPECIALLY considering how old that particular sound was even when it came out!

Please don't use that phrase--that music is not ska and neither is that two-tone trash from the eighties.
simpletons understand simple words. what would you call it pops?
ps- so a band call the "skatalites" isnt making ska music
But they opened for Rancid. This is why we hate.
2Tone = genius British music.
I got some Reggaeton on Fuentes. It's not bad.
and it's retarded cousin, Gabber.

DJ Tiesto type stuff. "Dreamy Synths" and sped up female smurf-vocals. Urgh!
