Reggaeton: the only genre of music I will write off completely as shit.
    #5656055 - 05/21/06 12:11 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Do you guys know about reggaeton? Or is this a phenomenon limited to heavily hispanic urban areas? I live in an area of Manhattan that his historically and typically hispanic so I have to hear reggaeton all the time and lemme tell you, it's the worst genre of music there is. Why? Becuase every single song has the EXACT same spine to it. I'm not exaggerating either. Every song has the same beat.

For some reason, it's this craze that has taken over NYC. Everywhere you go you hear Reggaeton blasting - even Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium. Frankly, it's starting to drive me pretty batty. Go gooogle "reggaeton" and download some shit to listen to. And I do mean SHIT.

I live in Colorado and we have a Hispanic radio station that plays that shit almost exclusively. The drums in every song are practically exactly the same. The same drum samples, and the same beat...I hate it! I write it off as shit too.

You have no idea what ive been thru living in PR.The same beat played over and over again like chinese water torture.Before Reggeton Puerto Rico was a cool chilled out place everyone was into reggae, rock, and surfing.Notice how reggae was popular yes that's where they came up with the name They couldnt even come up with a Fucking name!

There was a big article in Newsweek (I think Newsweek, I get alot of magazines) about Reggaeton and some dude who was the best artist out. He was talking about some new thing, Salsaton. Sounds like it might suck worse.

dude, i live 5 minutes from tijuana.
that reggaeton is a mexican version of getting your bump & grind on.
they should have named it mexiton and left reggae out of it.

needless to say i dont listen to the radio.

I live in the Dominican Republic and I can't get away from that shit. It's everywhere and I HATE it.

The Dominican Republic is a great place to live in many ways, but not from the point of view of music. Between Tipico, Bachata, Merengue, Reggaeton and the various flavors of other Hispanic Rap -- all played at bone-shattering volume -- it's enough to make a normal person go mad.
