The academic term for that rhythm that's in every single reggaeton song and everybody is quite tired of hearing.

Compare the clave rhythm, which also has origins in Latin music, and has imprinted itself in pop and electronic music.
Despacito, Mi Gente, Bailando, Shaky Shaky, and Chantaje are some examples of the tresillo in reggaeton.

Shape of You, Sorry, Cheap Thrills, and Instruction are examples of songs outside Reggaeton that use the tresillo.
