Agreed. Wholeheartedly agreed. I come to the ska section looking for, well, ska music, not garbage. Chalk it up to inadequate moderation on the audio portal end of Newgrounds, I guess.
The good news is, I'm pretty sure they're working on updating the moderator tools to allow increased flexibility for mods, which will hopefully include recategorizing and/or deleting content that doesn't fit. But, since you're a contributing, legitimate artist, and your content is ranked highly, and you've been on the site for 3+ years, it might not hurt for you to send a note Tom Fulp's way, letting him know of your concerns.
Good luck.

What is ska? I don't know what it is.

Ska originated in Jamaica as a mixture of Jazz, Calypso, and Mento. That's not what it is now. The majority of modern Ska bands can be described simply as punk/rock with horns. Emphasis on offbeats, Ska chords (top three notes of a major chord, I believe), upbeat tempo. It's great to dance to, listen to, do whatever to.
You want an example, try searching for 'Reel Big Fish' or 'Mighty Mighty Bosstones' on youtube, check out a music video or two. Sell Out and Take On Me are two personal favorites of mine, along with Royal Oil by the Bosstones. Hope you like!
