Why did the '70s punk scene love reggae so much? i've heard the john lydon (sex pistols, public image inc) say reggae was one of his biggest influences and that reggae was his favorite music, also bands like the clash said reggae was a big influence. i will say i have never listened to much reggae so maybe its just me but i dont really understand the connection from reggae to punk.

there was like some kind of underground cultural connections between jamaica and the uk vis a vis colonization. i dunno beyond that try reading wikipedia, the article on ska should be informative as ska is like the combination of punk and reggae iirc
because of typical leftist white guilt

just looked it up im pretty wrong i was thinking of third wave ska but the first and second waves of ska had nothing to do with punk rock
they are both repetitive styles of music
