I love ska's versatility, and I'm all for it being integrated within any genre: hardcore, funk, soul, jazz, pop, electronica...I guess it depends on how it's approached. There doesn't seem to be any singular musical definition of "ska-core"; bands such as Link 80 and Slapstick flaunted undeniable hardcore sensibilities yet were still heavily structured around ska and reggae beats, enough so that they'd deserve to be included in the sub-genre, where as bands such as Against All Authority or even, yes, Operation Ivy really straddle the line with their rapid-fire bastardization of an offbeat. I think there's only so fast you can upstroke on a guitar before it eventually circles back around into sloppy, choppy hardcore rhythms on clean amp settings. The importance of the offbeat needs to be withheld, but bands can still get heavy with it.

Like the person above said Their are many forms of ska so I can't really hate/or dislike any. I have always been a big fan of the skatalites but I find myself an even bigger fan of skacore bands such as op ivy some rancid, some nofx so as far as hating ska style I can't because that would just go against everything ska is meant for...( No hate )

Like juan said, check out Sektacore, they are a perfect example of what most define skacore as these days.
Since the term 'skacore' is just a label for the mixture of ska and hardcore music, it has actually developed many different sounds. British skacore and Mexican Skacore are completely different styles of ska although both use the same title to explain their hardcore influenced ska. I live in los angeles, and the skacore scene here is huge, Sektacore just played last week and Skacore Invasion 2010 was July 24th. There are major differences in the types of skacore played today: Bands like Mighty Mighty Bosstones (who are supposedly were the first to use the term in their 1993 EP), Op Ivy, and Rancid are said to play ska music influenced by hardcore punk but to my musical understanding i believe their music is more influenced by modern day punk rock like Bad Religion for example. When i went to europe for a huge punk/ska festival last year called Rebellion Fest, i was eager to see all the ska bands that i hadnt seen in the US. To my surprise, the people i was talking to all were refering to bands like Sonic Boom Six and Random Hand as 'skacore'. I asked them why they cosidered it 'skacore' and they said it was ska with a blend of the intensity, edginess, and anger of hardcore punk but did not have to do anything with the extremely fast tempos you here in most hardcore punk bands i.e. (bad brains, minor threat, kid dynamite). They said it also was influenced by that angry hip hop sound bands like Rage Against the Machine are known for. The last type if skacore i know is Los Angeles or Mexican Ska core, which uses both the fast tempos and harsh sounds of contemporary hc punk music. The significant differences i hear when i listen to this kind of skacore is that it is in spanish, and that the drummer raises his/her high-hat on the upbeat while playing a fast ska four on the floor type beat. Although it is interesting to see all the different of style of ska being played, names like 'skacore' are just labels and are subjective for the listener to interpret for themselves. I love all kinds of ska and think this is an interesting branch to explore (atleast with bands like Sektacore and La Resistencia)
