Default Reggaeton

How did they come by the name reggaeton??? It bears no resemblance to traditional Jamaican reggae, from which I guess they coined the name reggaeton. Reggaeton is closer to Jamaican Dancehall music (also called bashment), much of which is presented in a rough, coarse, style and often ladened with sex and suggestions of violence. The wild party crowd seem to like both Jamaican dancehall music and reggaeton, but it irks mainstream folk.
Traditional Jamaican reggae would be people like Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Culture and others.
Wikipedia on Jamaican dancehall music: "Dancehall is a type of Jamaican popular music which developed around the late 70's, with exponents such as Yellowman and Shabba Ranks. It is also known as bashment.
The style is characterized by a deejay singing and rapping or toasting over raw and danceable music riddims. The rhythm in dancehall is much faster than in reggae, sometimes with drum machines replacing acoustic sets .It maybe the predecessor of Hip-Hop. In the early years of dancehall, some found its lyrics crude and bawdy ("slack"), particularly because of its sexual tones, popular among youths in Jamaica. Like its reggae predecessor it eventually made inroads onto the world music scene.
This deejay-led, largely synthesized speechifying with musical accompaniment departed from traditional conceptions of Jamaican popular musical entertainment. Dub poet Mutabaruka maintained, "if 1970s reggae was red, green and gold, then in the next decade it was gold chains". It was far removed from its gentle roots and culture, and there was furious debate among purists as to whether it ought to be considered some sort of extension of reggae music".

I think quite a few of us here can do that. In fact, I can post about growing up here in the 60s. Or get some anecdotes from my mother from her time at Miami High in the 40s.
