Who is this pulse demon?

It's funny because it looks like the cover of pulse demon (pic related) and typically when an attractive girl is posted people ask; who is this "semen demon"
what's some avant reggaeton

Somebody make a reggaeton-core. It's the only genre where I've literally found nothing redeeming about it. Maybe IF I get access to essentials, I'll be able to comprehend it more.

It's clearly a synthpop oriented reggaeton project, same as Don Omar did with a few singles that were into a kind of dark and robotic (some may say cyberpunk) aesthetic.
See: Virtual Diva.
>>64118588
Okay. I won't be mean today. I just have a hate towards this genre as I was forced to listen to it as a child who lived in the hispanic ghetto. I guess I'm okay with it though.
>>64118590
>dark and robotic (some may say cyberpunk) aesthetic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRBgZ4aMPio
holy shit this is
actually true, the ambience in that song is very dark and somehow mechanical. That Don Omar era was pretty advant for the reggaeton genre especially with the fact he obviously takes influences from bands like Depeche Mode

>>64117147
you can't take reggaeton seriously for the most part. reggaeton is part of modern Puerto Rican culture and i think it should've never left the island. it started as something very local and exclusive during the mid 90s, mostly as dance club music influenced by dancehall and the nigga gangsta attitude. it's a very young genre, which is why it overlaps so easily with other genres such as pop, bachata, edm and hip-hop, and why most of it is shitty and dumb. chances are you'll never really "appreciate" or understand it if you weren't raised within its community. only a puerto rican will recognize a true banger, however simple and ignorant it may be in essence. believe it or not, reggaeton is very different now from how it was 15 years ago. i would say it's definitely much more hip-hop oriented nowadays. there's even an emerging local trap scene, which consists of the very same reggaeton producers and singers that at some point did the infamous traditional reggaeton beat, doing trap almost exclusively (ñengo flow, anuel aa, almighty, kendo...). it's like listening to hit em up type lyrics over drake/future beats.

Tego Calderon is GOAT Reggeaton artist. Prove me wrong
Oh yeah....you can't! Loser.
P.S: Calle 13 used to be a close 2nd.
that chilean feel
>>64117147
>>64119415
i would say tego calderon, followed by calle 13, were the first artists to affiliate reggaeton with intellectual themes, rapping about politics and social issues, merging world music and a bunch of different genres with music that had always been very narrow minded, starting the very short-lived "alternative reggaeton". they weren't afraid to make something that wasn't intended to make money. if you're willing to dig through a lot of shit, you will realize that not all reggaeton sounds the same. this chart is a good starting point if you only know about the current singles that are on the radio. some albums are mislabeled but the cover should clarify that. there's literally thousands of reggaeton albums, and i could fill the chart with some other stuff but i believe these are good examples of what you would call "essential" if you were growing up middle-lower class in puerto rico during the 90s. the only artist that blew up around 2010 that i decided to include was cosculluela, but the ones that are the most popular rn are the new guys. you could also try the charts over at rym but it lacks a lot of info that you wouldn't find in easily in english

I don't get it.
If I listen to jazz, I can find a wide variety of different tones, textures and compositions.
If I listen to rock, there's an insane variety of potential compositions on the upper tier of the genre.
If I listen to electronic music such as Jungle/DnB, Techno, Ambient, etc. I will find an almost limitless potential for arrangement.
Where's the insane variety of reggaeton? Where's that one reggaeton album that blows all the haters out of the water? Where can I listen to some high level reggaeton?

That's the problem, this beaner genre is so repetitive and boring that it's not necessary do a shit thread about it.
>>64120128
I don't think the lack of musicality has anything to do with being from mexico. Rather, I think those who try to push it forward never release their stuff outside the country, and even then live in general obscurity.
>>64112585
>Balvin
One of the less imaginative of all this fucks. Also soft and spoiled compared to the vulgar harshness of say, Kevin Roldan.
Underwhelming even among the most boring musicians.

what did they mean by this?
>>64119996
You can find diversity in the first Calle 13 albums.
Reaggaeton is just a dance genre that takes influences from other dances genres like EDM, Dancehall, and other Latin genres.
Yes, Reggaeton can be pretty repetitive, but when it tries to implement different music styles into the genre it can be pretty refreshing.
>>64120302
Thanks anon~
>>64112460
choose one.
As much as I dislike reggaeton, I like this thread. discussing genres, especiallyy ones we don't like and don't know much of should be much more commonplace. Reggaeton is probably one of the genres to have suffered the most from commercialization. Maybe unearthing some of the better albums will bring some good to it.
itt: plebs who thinks their genre is relevant

>>64120302
>You can find diversity in the first Calle 13 albums
The funny thing is that those songs really separate themselves from the genre, only remaining the general delivery and attitude of the lyrics. But things like the use of kuisis (a geninely interesting idea, even if it was just for a brief intro) never influenced anyone that called himself "regguetonero". Instead, in the following years (!) the use of the air horn sound effect became dominant.
You people complaint about your plain pop. You don't know what is like to be a spic.

>The funny thing is that those songs really separate themselves from the genre, only remaining the general delivery and attitude of the lyrics.
Honestly that is the way that some reggeaton artists should go. They should distance themselves from the reggeaton common ground to explore and experiment with other styles while still mantaing the genre's feel. It is sad that seeing this happen is nearly impossible since the genre is so over-commercialized that it is difficult to discuss the genre in a serious manner.

This
People don't seem to understand how much dancing and social gatherings are ingrained in Hispanic culture.
It hasn't just affected reggaeton, but also other genres, from having any type of evolution. With most of central and south america, as well as Spain, there should be loads of artists being discussed, but every time I've ever started a thread, or seen a thread about Latin/Hispanic music, it dies quickly.
Women do it better, like always.

And this is how I became a fan of reggaeton. Pretty fun music that makes the girls get grindy and grabby.
ummm, do you guys like Moombahton?
I like this mix by DJ Craze: https://soundcloud.com/tandarecords/moombahton-forever-mixed-by
>>64121182
>other genres, from having any type of evolution.
Yes. Just look at salsa. A handfull of (USA based) artists maing distinct music (but by no means "experimental") and everyone else copying the formula of each decade.
And I like the general sound of salsa, but it lacks variety.
The great music of LA is the folk things that are not even spread in a whole country. Or at least thats how it is in Colombia.
Bambuco, Currulao and traditional Vallenato (spcecially the "paseo" variety) are rarelly recorded. Always treated as some kind of indigenous music that should be preserved in it's rather naive and rural form, and shown mostly in the universities for ethical study, rather than musical inspiration.
It's not surprising that the urban youth will rather learn how to rap or play an electric guitar than try and modernise actual colombian music.
>>64121654
Definitely understand where you're coming from, Anon. I don't know much about the Colombian genres, but I'm(originally) from Venezuela, and I definitely see a lack of evolution in Venezuelan genres as well, whether it be Llanera, gaitas, etc. Heck, i'm pretty damn sure even in the rock spectrum, La Vida Boheme is pretty much theo nly one there making any strides regarding rock music, but that's off-topic.
It seems discussion has shifted from albums/artists, to singular songs. Is that rally it for reggaeton? how about albums that borrow and draw inspiration from raggeton, but don't belong to the genre?
I love how this thread has more music discussing than most threads of /mu/ atm
>>64122389
I've noticed any time you don't make a thread about anything /mu/core, or a thread about a specific artist, it usually encourages discussion. I'm guessing this is because everyone already knows /mu/core, and they instead just turn into shitposting.
This is really what /mu/ should aim towards more often
Reggeaton is my shit boyz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-COhwHN16_E
Most songs sound the same but albums like Daddy Yankee's (Barrio Fino) or Artist like Tego Calderon, Eddie Dee, Vico C, and Julio Voltio do experiment with other sounds and create songs, while still reggeaton, do get out of the box.
Tego Calderon's Robin Hood one of the latest sample of reggeatons potencial.

Ok, that one had some interesting things. The lyrics and the video might not be masterpieces but are much more self aware than expected.
But, how do you differentiate this song from just Hip-Hop en español?
[spoiler]Too bad his way of changing r with l fucks everything up.[/spoiler]
>>64119415
Thanks. Will give a isten. Can anyone expand, or provide some a second opinion list? Getting as much context is definitely appreciated
>>64122781
That Tego Calderon song definitely does show a lot of potential to where the genre could go if more artists took chances. I found it at the very least interesting, which is more than I thought I would have said when I saw this thread.
>>64123023
It's about the time signature, just like salsa and cumbia that identify it, reggeaton has an unique tempo and rhythm.
Now, people in this thread have already talked about the youth of this genre, about 10 to 15 years younger than Hip-Hop, reggeaton needs to find a voice of conciousness, akin conscious rappers in the late 90's trying to tell different stories than the usual money, drugs and hoes. The artist I mentioned are the most prominent examples of reggeaton trying to expand the genre to it's true potencial, which is the voice of the people. This is not easy, hip-hop as an art form is rarely seen as an art form and only few artist, like Nas or Kendrick, have made a name for themselves as a conscious rapper.
Calle 13 is the closest the genre has gotten to a conscious artist, though the band denies any link they had with their reggeaton roots, I still consider them a conscious reggeaton group barely.
Only in time we will see a true artist that will both will be conscidered to be a reggeaton artist and the voice of the people.
here are other examples of reggeaton artist going out of the box:
Vico C - 5 de Septiembre
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szgPsYR70Ow
Julito Maraña - Julio Voltio
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gPqIvjKdOg

I also want to clarify that I am drunk and have been waiting to release the knowledge until the right moment, which happened to be now.
>>64119415
Barrio Fino should be Top Tier imoand Plan B's House of Pleasure should be up there (not top tier tho) because it's the prime reggeaton party album.

Reggaeton as a /mu/ thread. Who'd have thought it would have worked out so well? As someone said earlier, more actual music discussion than most threads
As much as I hate reggaeton, I think I hate its younger brother merenguetón even more. At least I got to grind girls asses in middleschool on that firstwave reggaeton.
