It's not
incredibly false.
I'm not saying that bands try
not to sound ska but end up doing so, I'm saying that most of the time when horns and punk meet, they go ska.
Sure there are a lot of bands that don't sound ska, but for everyone that you can name, there are like 20 that didn't see anything
other than ska as an option.
