Ska is a type of Jamaican music combining elements of traditional mento and calypso with an American jazz and rhythm and blues sound. It is notable for its shuffling, scratchlike tempo and jazz-like horn riffs on the offbeat.

Originating in Jamaica, possibly in the 1950s, it was a precursor to rocksteady and later reggae. It was the predominant form of music listened to by rude boys, although many ska artists condemned the violent subculture. It is also popular with mods and skinheads, with artists such as Symarip, Laurel Aitken, Desmond Dekker and The Pioneers aiming songs at these groups as early as the 1960s.

Musical historians typically divide the history of ska into three waves. There was revival of note in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and another wave of popularity in the 1990s, mostly based in the United States.

Punk rock is an anti-establishment rock music genre and movement that emerged in the 1970s. While the genre had been preceded by various forms of protopunk music from the 1960s and the early 1970s, the genre's immediate origins lie in a number of artists that emerged from the United States,[1][2] the United Kingdom,[3][4] and Australia,[5][6] around 1974 and 1975. As exemplified by bands such as the Ramones,[7] Sex Pistols,[8] The Damned, and The Clash, punk rock rejected many of the perceived excesses of 1970s rock music[9] and placed emphasis on music that was fast, short in duration, and simple, often accompanied by a political or social outlook. The punk rock movement also encompasses a punk subculture, involving youthful aggression, specific clothing styles, ideologies, and a DIY (do it yourself) attitude.

Punk rock became a major phenomenon in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s,[10] but its popularity was more sporadic elsewhere. Over the course of the 1980s, various forms of punk rock emerged in small scenes around the world, often outright rejecting commercial success or association with mainstream culture. By the end of the 20th century, punk rock's legacy had resulted in the formation of the alternative rock movement, while new punk bands popularized the genre decades after its initial heyday.

Ska-Core is a subgenre of Ska Punk, blending 1970s 2 Tone ska revival music with hardcore punk. Ska-Core was popularized by bands like The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Operation Ivy, Choking Victim, Leftöver Crack, The Suicide Machines, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Against All Authority.

I like the Bosstones and No Doubt, the 90's influence is big in my taste because that is really when I began to develop my own taste...not just what was fashionable at the time as when I was a kid in the 80's

Ska-core: example: The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Operation Ivy, Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, The Suicide Machines, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Against All Authority:
Not neccecarily straight ahead punk, but not neccecarily ska either. Somewhere inbetween. The beats are closer to a groove, or shuffle feel, and sometimes mimic reggae. Op ivy innovated ska core, but as with anything else, it continues to change.

Punk: example: Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Damned, The Clash, Bad Brains:
Punk is a f/u attitude. Punk to me is like 12 year old kids in a garage on saturday. Loud garage rock, cheap equipment, nothing but agression. The basis of the music is simple chord structure, more of a "rock & roll" format.

Third Wave Ska: Skatalies/Sublime
Both bands sound completely different but have similar qualities. More of a "mod" sound, keyboards, horns, a little more jazz influence and structure. More polished sound than punk.

*Original Ska is a type of Jamaican music combining elements of traditional mento and calypso with an American jazz and rhythm and blues sound. It is notable for its shuffling, scratchlike tempo and jazz-like horn riffs on the offbeat.

it all depends were your looking at, I believe punk came first in the 70's, followed by ska started in the 80's then ska-core branched off that.

ska has horns and it is known for the horns where as punk doesn't always have horn, usually for the most part a "punk" song does not, but that does not mean a punk artist does not use horns, look at Rancid, punk and have horns.

I dunno what ska-core is so i can't help you there
