Aren't you describing ska-punk? I thought ska was a spinoff of reggae. (It sure sounds like reggae to my ignorant ears.)

Reggae is a spinoff of the original ska, which itself is a very Caribbean style coming from Calypso and jumpblues. Look for Desmond Dekker or Toots & the Maytals for some typical examples.

Today's ska is closer to punk rock with a sprinkle of horns.

What you are calling ska punk, old heads used to tell me thats 3rd wave ska. The reggae spin off, they claimed, was 1st and 2nd wave. I dont know for sure, and Iv seen contradicting things online since. I never really got it.

Reggae comes from Ska as I recall. The Wailer’s early work is Ska.

Yeah, and that's slightly different than dubstep-ska. That's where you drop the beat then pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.
