Techno: The world is not broken as long as we have drugs
Trance: the world is broken and I can see it in all its kaleidoscopic majesty.
folk metal: the world is broken, as foretold from by the Ancient Ones whom we celebrate with gut-wrenching melancholy
Breakcore: “the world is b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-brRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrR b r o k eeeeeeee n”.
Weirdcore: World is broken so I've been slamming Monster energy drinks for 48 hours straight and now I'm delirious and hallucinating the nineties.
What -core is "I haven't slept in a week for non-meth reasons so here's wonderwall" (I never learned to play wonderwall)?
I don't know what the exact genre name is but Opeth's Eternal Rains Will Come comes to mind
Death Metal: RAARRRAOARAAAGHHH (booklet with the lyrics probably says "world is broken let's fuck shit up" )
Alternatively, “if you piss blood it's a symptom of kidney issues”.
That's my buddy's grindcore combo's name!
"Ska is what a 13 year old hears in their head when they are told they are getting free mozzarella sticks."
Grunge: "The world is broken, and so am I. But there's nothing we can do about it so let's just fuck."
“Ska is what a 13 year old hears in their head when they are told they are getting free mozzarella sticks.”
I always think of this song by 7 seconds of love when I read that. Pretty much sums it up.

3/4ths of these are just punk subgenres lol
YOU'RE a punk subgenre >:(
YO MOMMA is a punk subgenre!
...
She's awesome!
The three that are not punk itself. Emo and goth both came out of punk, and ska was fused with punk by the time of two-tone.

Open question to the floor: what is the most "Ska" song I could send to someone? Like the most iconic or the most stereotypical "Ska" a song could possibly be.
Edit: I've got some listening to do, thanks for the responses, keep them coming! I've never heard of half these bands, and while Ska isn't usually my thing I definitely vibe with some of them.
None of these are stereotypical but I think I covered part of the range.
The Science of Selling Yourself Short, Less than Jake
For the 90s ska revival, I think Reel Big Fish takes the cake for most ska-ish ska band
It's not the best ska song by a country mile, but it's definitely the most ska song. At least as far as third wave goes.
Definitely the first one I thought of. If you're going by most well known, and recognizably ska, then yes this.

Millie Small's ‘My Boy Lollipop’ from 1964 is the original ska song that made the genre popular outside Jamaica.
Of the second-wave aka two-tone ska: The Selecter's ‘On My Radio’, Madness' ‘Night Boat To Cairo’, The Specials' ‘A Message To You Rudy’.
Streetlight manifesto is probably one of the more popular ska bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOqenYis1iQ
Streetlight fucking slaps. I can't name a bad song of theirs.
We're getting a new album sometime totally soon, for real this time, and they still won't have a bad song
Varies by generation of ska.
- first generation: "Keith & Ken with Byron Lee & the Dragonaires - Jamaica Ska" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhLjOgUXut8
- second generation: "Madness - One Step Beyond" - https://youtu.be/SOJSM46nWwo?t=29
- after that idk
One Step Beyond
Which is a cover of Prince Buster's track from 1964.
Modern Ska i'd say
Flying Raccoon Suit afterglow
We Are The Union Out Of Patience
Half Past Two Barrier For Entry
of the older stuff, a few greats i havent seen mentione yet would be
Against All Authority All Fall Down
Link 80 enough

Commenting both to track these Ska recommendations, I fucking love Ska. But also to recommend Life Sucks...Let's Dance by Reel Big Fish, to my that song really hits the nail on the head in a cliché way. I constantly tell my wife, who reminds me I tell her that every time we are listening to it lol

Noise: lol noise
Nu metal is bipolar. Its either "the world is broken but ignore it with the help of a song that has no right to be this groovy" or "the world is broken and thats why im setting the whole fucking place on fire including myself"
Its either “the world is broken but ignore it with the help of a song that has no right to be this groovy”
Also, "I'm broken, here's a sad and angry song about it that has no right to be this groovy". Nu metal was/is big on introspection and personal tragedies instead of societal tragedies, though introspection =/= wisdom.
Damn, I didn't realize I was ska until just now. I in fact have a trumpet and a coronet. And the first live show I ever got high at was Skankin Pickle touring Skafunkrastapunk. Somehow completely unrelated I ended up with their bass drum kick pedal about a year and a half later. I don't even listen to ska though. But the attitude is all mine!
trve black metal: bizarre rooster sounds

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Where is the beauty in billionaires taking over the world and fucking everybody?
In the cracks left behind where plants can still grow
A good kiss
Your baby's words
Lots of beauty to find, plenty of life to live
Sadness is rebellion
Country: the world is broken but so is my pickup
Jazz: The world is broken and it's beautiful
