More than 10 years consolidated
Despite the fact that this genre has been around for more than 10 years good consolidated As one of the most popular sounds in the world, the truth is that its musical proposal has not been very varied. However, it has given rise to other subgenres, such as trap.
Bad Bunny, star of this subgenre, has recently spoken out on the subject in an interview with a Spanish newspaper.
Reggaeton comes from the street, sometimes even criminals, but I don’t mean it in a derogatory way. And in the end they saw a light in that genre of reggaeton. Many were able to abandon that lifestyle and buy a house and car. I think that’s where that rejection comes from. But it doesn’t bother me, they say what they want, there is a whole world dancing to songs, enjoying life without prejudice, this is why hatred towards him will never be overcome, that’s like racism or homophobia . It sounds fucking ugly, it sounds horrible, I don’t know if I got up negative today.
