The term had been current for a while: Rockafeller Skank by Fatboy Slim was 1998.

I always though that was an ironic title, seeing as Skank and Skanky have always had a pretty strongly negative connotation in the southern UK dialects. Fatboy being a Brighton resident at the time, and pretty trendy, I assumed it was along the same lines.

Or Red Dwarf's "Rastabilly Skank", 1988.
