It depends, Nathan would probably be able to explain it better, it has a reggae influence a lot of the time and hit here during the 70's/80's, and then you have Ska(ish) bands like Madness and The Specials

When I was about 11, was when the 2Tone Ska revival started. There was Madness, The Specials, The Selecter, The Beat, The Lambrettas, Bad Manners etc. I had a fishtail parka which was about 3 sizes too big for me.
