Basically, some people started incorporating gloomy aspects to punk aesthetics and music. Gloomy aspects from literature, film, tropes. Some were looking to express similar political sentiments but in a more metaphorical way, I suppose; that's my impression, that there was an added element of artistry/artsy there. Some were looking to add also subjective themes (madness, unlove, etc.). Example (Bauhaus - In the Flat Field).
This gave us post-punk and similar sounds in the very late 70s and mostly early 80s. You probably know some bands that were influential. Example. (The Cure - The Hanging Garden).
Anyway, the mohawk grew longer, blacker. Still teased, often shaved, but creepier. The leyering in clothing also became blacker or creepier (transparent layers, protagonism of the net layers). Theatrical and extravagant outfits emerged, inspired by the decade's fashion too. Example in music video A. (Alien Sex Fiend - R.I.P.). Example in music video B. (Specimen - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)
Famously, the night club called "The Batcave" started reuniting bands and listeners, and in the 80s many countries had similar venues. A little more aggressive or punkier sound persisted with a genre called deathrock. There was now post-punk, deathrock, goth rock, darkwave (inspired by the synth-driven genres of the 80s), etc. Example A. (The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia my Reflection) Example B. (The Frozen Autumn - Is Everything Real?).
The subculture was consolidated around these genres, and then the name "Goth" stayed, and then more communication and inspiration... And nowadays social media keeps many things alive through teachings in video and, I guess, text, like this one. Why? In part, because [context] a person that is new to all this world is called a "baby bat" and [/context] most Goths are protective and integrating of baby bats.
And that's it. There was a good deathrock revival in the late 00s and early 10s. Example. (Cinema Strange - I Remember Tendon Water). And today there's an obsession to bring back the original elements but it's all still very different (and often cliched, which I don't like, personally).
Yeah, after commenting that I considered that what some people consider goth is actually post-punk (the punk connection should be obvious), but then remembered goth rock exists obviously does not come from punk. Ska and emo though for sure, emo by ways of post-hardcore, by ways of hardcore, by ways of protopunk and you've already covered the ska lineage
I can't claim deep familiarity with that era, but I've never heard of punk being derived from ska. Garage rock, Velvet Underground, The Stooges were the progenitors of punk, and in neither those nor Ramones, New York Dolls, Suicide, or Sex Pistols can I hear any traces of ska. It's rather that these bands, Ramones in particular, were returning to raw energy of rock-n-roll and garage rock, against the fancy glam-rock.
Ska, reggae and dub certainly influenced post-punk, and in turn punk influenced the second wave of ska, both emerging almost simultaneously around '78-79.
Anyone feel to correct me if k get any of this wrong, but punk as a genre evolved primarily in a cosmopolitan London ( unsure how much other English cities contributed - someone else can comment) where working class locals and immigrants from countries from across the British empire that had immigrated to London brought their local music with them - first wave aka, reggae, rock and roll, dub(?) all influenced young working class londoners and influenced the development of punk which was firmly rooted in class consciousness, a diy ethos, and rebellion against the rigid classist system of post war England.
Everything you're talking about came later.
You might not necessarily hear the musical influence of some of these genres in the first punk bands that became well known, but the cultural impact of fans of these genres of music was integral to the development of a punk rock ethos that embraced working class solidarity, rebellion against authority, and diy.
The New York CBGB scene preceded the London scene, from what I can tell, and there was also the Cleveland scene. Punk seems to have been imported to London from NY by Malcolm McLaren, band manager and store owner, rather than working-class folks. Dunno who played punk in the UK before Sex Pistols.
UK punk was of course influenced by the rude boy and skinhead subcultures, but I don't think that manifested musically. Pure punk-rock doesn't quite have any of ska's danceable quality that can't be traced to rock'n'roll and garage rock instead.
Goth-rock started from post-punk, with Bauhaus and Siouxsie and the Banshees following the lead of Joy Division. Not sure what kind of goth-rock you mean that didn't start there.
AAA and Link80 are very much not "the most ska", they are very hardcore leaning ska, which is really a few steps too far from The Specials or Toots and the Maytals to be a good introduction to ska.
AAA and Link 80 were my intro to ska in the late 90s. someone tossed 17 reasons, all fall down and question the answers in my lap and was like "this is your music, im sorry". so skacore is just where it starts in my brain. then it skirts around the gross pit of anything tim armstrong touched and moves to 2tone, then new tone.
little surprised JER and bad opperation didnt pop up in the comments here. but i suppose it's comment thread about ska in a shit post community, not a music specific one.
Commenting both to track these Ska recommendations, I fucking love Ska. But also to recommend Life Sucks...Let's Dance by Reel Big Fish, to my that song really hits the nail on the head in a cliché way. I constantly tell my wife, who reminds me I tell her that every time we are listening to it lol

Uhh thats kinda hard to answer cause nobodys gonna be happy with it. Nu metal is a kind of contraversial genre because nobody agrees on what it is exactly and every artist seems to say that theyre not actually nu metal. My top five would be Korn, deftones, limp bizkit, slipknot, system of a down. The most famous is probably linkin park which you definitely know but they are kinda their own seperate entity. Rage against the machine is also kinda seperate tho still kinda nu metal. As for songs i recommend to get s feeling for the genre: Freak on a leash, blind, break stuff, change, be quiet and drive, aerials and eyeless.
Damn, I didn't realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don't even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!
Just different stages of grief. The world is broken. Maybe we can fix some parts of it but nobody is going to singlehandedly fix everything. Trying to fix it is the bargaining stage of grief. Being upset that you can't do anything is the depression stage. Embracing it is the acceptance stage. Can't change the world but we can change our attitude.

Basically, some people started incorporating gloomy aspects to punk aesthetics and music. Gloomy aspects from literature, film, tropes. Some were looking to express similar political sentiments but in a more metaphorical way, I suppose; that's my impression, that there was an added element of artistry/artsy there. Some were looking to add also subjective themes (madness, unlove, etc.). Example (Bauhaus - In the Flat Field).
This gave us post-punk and similar sounds in the very late 70s and mostly early 80s. You probably know some bands that were influential. Example. (The Cure - The Hanging Garden).
Anyway, the mohawk grew longer, blacker. Still teased, often shaved, but creepier. The leyering in clothing also became blacker or creepier (transparent layers, protagonism of the net layers). Theatrical and extravagant outfits emerged, inspired by the decade's fashion too. Example in music video A. (Alien Sex Fiend - R.I.P.).
Example in music video B. (Specimen - Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)
Famously, the night club called "The Batcave" started reuniting bands and listeners, and in the 80s many countries had similar venues. A little more aggressive or punkier sound persisted with a genre called deathrock. There was now post-punk, deathrock, goth rock, darkwave (inspired by the synth-driven genres of the 80s), etc. Example A. (The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia my Reflection)
Example B. (The Frozen Autumn - Is Everything Real?).

And nowadays social media keeps many things alive through teachings in video and, I guess, text, like this one. Why? In part, because [context] a person that is new to all this world is called a "baby bat" and [/context] most Goths are protective and integrating of baby bats.

Ska is what plays in a 13 year old boy's head when he finds an extra mozzarella stick.

Ska is basically: the world’s on fire, but we’re still bringing horns and a two-step. Honestly… fair.

Damn, I didn't realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don't even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!

hyperpop: the world is working exactly as intended and you should be as many levels of angry as there are genre influences in this track

Just different stages of grief. The world is broken. Maybe we can fix some parts of it but nobody is going to singlehandedly fix everything. Trying to fix it is the bargaining stage of grief. Being upset that you can't do anything is the depression stage. Embracing it is the acceptance stage. Can't change the world but we can change our attitude.

IS there a variation of emo music where it's like "The world is broken, but that's okay - I'm fighting to deal with the broken parts"

Industrial: The world is broken and has been for a while so let's go to the abandoned husk of the inner city, throw a party, and make insane music before it crashes down around our ears.
