Presidential candidate and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio wants you to know that he's a very cool dude.
In an interview on CNN's New Dayon Tuesday, in a segment called "Candidate Mixtape," the mayor discussed his musical taste. While de Blasio admitted that The Clash was his favorite band (fine choice, frankly), he also confessed his love for ska, the much derided music genre that fused with punk in the '90s.
"I love ska," the mayor said, in a moment likely to haunt his candidacy, or at least my life, forever.

In the mayor's defense, he does seem to have genuine respect for the genre. Later in the program, de Blasio mentions the Skatalites, an original and well-regarded ska band that formed in Jamaica in 1964.
The candidate also appears to have struck a real chord with host Alisyn Camerota, who proceeded to admit her own love of ska.
"There's a whole hidden ska happening inside me," Camerota admitted.
I'm not sure that I want to see what hidden, internal ska looks like, nor do I want to dig much deeper into de Blasio's passion for ska.
Twitter wasn't particularly impressed either.

It's unclear whether de Blasio's confession will help or hurt him in the polls, but his polling numbers are already poor. Just 21 percent of New York City Democrats want him to run for president.
Mighty Mighty Bill has a long way to go.
