Sublime is a gateway drug to 3rd wave ska without wholly being it. They ware their influences on their sleeve in a charming way and those influences are diverse and only partly ska. They are as much a gateway to The Decedents, Operation Ivy, various punk and hardcore acts, ska and reggee without being a pure form of any of them. As someone who played in 3rd wave ska bands long before Sublime came out the groups that everyone aspired to be like in the the 3rd wave were more along the lines of Bad Manners, The Toasters and Let Go Bowling. @Yeollowoftops@ post with Sublime and Gwen is a pretty good example of the whole Rockin Ska that No Doubt and Sublime pushed. I think it's a branch off the tree.
