Semi-protected edit request on 24 November 2023
Under the history section, please change "often mistaken for Reggae or reggae en Español, reggaeton is a younger genre that originated in the late 1980s in Panama and was later popularized in Puerto Rico." to "often mistaken for Reggae or reggae en Español, reggaetón was born through a genre called reggae. As reggae gained popularity, a Spanish touch was given by Panamanians; reggae en español. Subsequently, reggae en español music reached Puerto Rico and the teens from caserios and barrios influenced what was then called reggae into reggaetón.

Under the lyrics and themes section, please change "Reggaeton uses traditional verse-chorus-bridge hip hop structure" to " Reggaeton uses traditional verse-chorus-bridge hip hop structure, but it also uses terms specific to reggaeton. Due to this, specialized dictionaries are used to explain the vocabulary found in these songs. Defining these terms allows people to acquire an improved understanding of reggaeton themes and interpretations."

Under the lyrics and themes section, please change "like hip hop, reggaeton songs have a hook which is repeated throughout the song. Latino ethnic identity is a common musical, lyrical and visual theme." to "like hip hop, reggaeton songs have a hook which is repeated throughout the song. Latino ethnic identity is a common musical, lyrical and visual theme. Another common theme found in reggaeton is narco-culture. The lyrics and representations effectively tell stories about poverty in Puerto Rico and it holds the power to influence behaviors and decisions in some of its audiences. Reggaeton artists often include narco-messages in their songs because many confide and relate to the lyrics of the songs. Allowing for reggaeton to become more appealing to the consumers."

Under the LGBTQ influence section, please change "reggaeton has traditionally been male dominated and heteronormative, known to "reinforce the most unpleasant aspects of machismo" to "reggaeton has traditionally been male dominated and heteronormative, known to "reinforce the most unpleasant aspects of machismo. Often, the lyrics are used to gender, racialize and discriminate against particular communities."

Under the LGBTQ influence section, please change "new generation artists like Villano Antillano, Young Miko, La Cruz and others have been challenging the stereotypes and values traditionally associated with the genre" to "new generation artists like Villano Antillano, Young Miko, La Cruz, Lisa M and others have been challenging the stereotypes and values traditionally associated with the genre. Lisa M battled against the public's responses about her songs and encouraged her to behave more femininely, however, she disagreed with such views and maintained her right of expressing her personal opinions. Lisa M laid foundations for genres like reggaeton to flourish due to her courage of addressing the public."

Under the Latin America section, please change "in Cuba, reggaeton came to incorporate elements of traditional Cuban music, leading to the hybrid Cubaton" to "In Cuba, reggaeton came to incorporate elements of traditional salsa and Cuban music, to create a mixture of different influences on reggaeton. Which as a result, led to the hybrid Cubaton." Adv0620+ (talk) 23:40, 26 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: These are really well written and well-cited, but I believe you missed one last citation on the very last change suggested re: Cubaton. Add that and all of this is good to go imho. Thickynugnug (talk) 08:46, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

At the beginning of the 1990s, Jamaican dancehall riddims revolving around a "boom-ch-boom-chick" sound such as the "Bam Bam riddim" or the "Fever Pitch riddim" was the beat of Shabba Ranks' song "Dem Bow", which became known as the "Dem Bow riddim". The song's popularity resulted in the adoption of the "dem bow" name to describe the entire nascent Spanish language dancehall genre that would eventually come to be called "reggaeton". The name Reggaeton was coined by musical artist, El General, when using Jamaican rhythms. Nommo888 (talk) 19:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Lead paragraph
This introduction to the topic needs rewriting (a) to remove unnecessary repetition and (b) to stop contradicting itself about timing - the early versus the late 90s. yoyo (talk) 10:46, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
