Reggaeton has nothing to do with reggae. If you actually listened to it you would see that it roots from latin hip hop and rap.
Frontean con cojones pero tienen miedo/ No son nadie si no tiran/ Me oyen y se arimillan/ andan friolentos/ mis liricas los cohiban/ tu eres guasa guasa/ tu eres guasa guasa, envuelve maza.

A whole genre of music that consists of one single beat, reggaeton is a first of its kind. Reggaeton is probably the only genre of "music" that contains "songs" that can only be distinguished from each other by the lyrics (when they can be understood). "Songs" consist mainly of the universal reggaeton beat, an angry puerto rican yelling about something, and an annoying air horn sound.
Note: This music genre will be short lived, so get as much as you can now. I predict that this fad will end in 4 - 5 months (which is not soon enough).

Most untalented piece of shit music EVER created, It's not even Reggae in the first place! has spread like a virus among many countries in Latin America and some parts of the US also, Not very different from Rap, in fact It's pretty much the same thing : No real instruments, Horny/Retarded lyrics, and some annoying beat on the background.

Puerto Rican / Panamanian spin-off of reggae music, being these two countries the main hubs of mass production / distribution of Reggaeton. It borrows a lot of graphical / sound cues from gangsta rap and mixes them down with percussive, abrasive variations of dancehall reggae. Melodies are usually minimal, there is a liberal use of samples from pop tunes and sound effects (siren, etc) and drum machines rather than analog percussions are used.
Reggaeton's lyrics usually are in the same ground as those of gangsta rap: Mentions of women -often in a sexual/misogynist sense- drugs, gangs, sex and double entendres abound, yet youngster-oriented radio stations in Puerto Rico and Central America somehow get away with it, broadcasting Reggaeton practically 24/7, given its big popularity across kids in the area.

- Stupid ignorant gringo who doesn't speak spanish: Reggaeton is a music that is only about degrading women, and promotes the use of drugs and alcohol. And all the songs are retarded .For example, Daddy Yankee has a retarded song and all he says is "I want gasoline" wtf is that supossed to mean
- Me: Yah,its probably true in some cases, but have u ever heard of DJ Playero? The Noise? Vico C? La Industria? Have u bothered in doing some research u dumb shit. And btw, when he says "Gasolina" he means sex, u idiot.

- I wont put a definition. Just get some of the DJ Playero's productions : Playero 40 and 41. And Vico C old stuff. Those are good examples of good Reggaeton. And please at least learn how to speak spanish before talking trash about reggaeton. Do yourself a favor and don't look like and idiot trying to make fun of something you don't even understand.
