Is “guitar-driven rock band” a polite euphemism for ska?

Hey, I have a banjolele. But I also don’t have a valet, so maybe you’re onto something.

This topic does pop up regularly if infrequently. I recall reading some article in the 90s that claimed REM was responsible for saving guitar based rock. shrug.
What would be news is if the saxophone made a comeback in pop/rock. Seeing it pop up in 70s and 80s stuff these days it really stands out as a thing of its time.
