Why is reggae so shit? Is there a reason to listen to that crap

Idk

There are some interesting concepts in reggae. Firstly the culture may be interesting depending who you are. Also cool basslines, drum grovers and guitar deeding on what your thing is. Though 99% of reggae artists are shit the only decants ones I could name would be Bob M, Totes and Maytals and Bad brains and they're mostly hardcore.

Reggae's roots were a very new and interesting sound at the time, rhythmically completely unique with unorthodox mixing on the instruments. In reggae's heyday it often had a lot of political lyrical themes so that's pretty significant.

Nowadays there seems to be nothing going on musically; it definitely hasn't aged that well. The best reggae I know I mostly enjoy because the musicians are extremely tight and there's a lot of cool bass grooves. If you're into guitarwork or drumming there's not a lot going on.

I like dub a whole lot, so try that if you want a taste of reggae without getting bored. A lot of dub can be really interesting.

Hell of a lot more interesting than indie-rock.

I've never heard that song, so I'm just imagining that someone screams then says Frankie Sinatra. Is this accurate.
