Why do white British people fetishise reggae so much

Jamaica has the limes which insures their survival not just as a nation, but as a people

>that pic
>one good looking girl
>one possible handsome lad
We are an ugly bunch of cunts. Don't know really it's pretty shit, dubs ok but it all sounds the same.

>>73286416
Huge amount of immigration which inevitably had a major influence on music

>>73286442
I really don't mind the genre at all and I like a good skank from time to time, but people seem to REALLY FUCKING LOVE IT to such EXTREME LEVELS, as well as ska/dancehall and that soundsystem style culture. and it's mental cause overall it does sound pretty samey at times that I'm surprised people lose their shit so much when constantly listening to it.

It annoys me in a way because it's like, you're a prick if you criticise it in some way (because it's all good vibes how can you dislike it? omg) yet they never leave their soundsystem comfort zone and are proper quick to judge anyone out of that scene if it doesn't fit their image and that

Saying that I'd rather hang out with that sorta scene, or any scene than the metal scene - which happens to be my favourite type of music, but the crowd is even more close minded. argh.

>>73286499
That happens in a lot of genres though, its not exclusive to sound system culture and who said eclectic for the sake of it is better?

>>73286558
fair play, it's probably just something that annoys me with music in general, but the fetishising of aspects of Jamaican culture does annoy me on a different level. generally though, the vibes of those events are still lovely

>>73286416
jamaica was a british colony...

>>73286452
the british "immigrating" to jamaica had a major influence on their culture also.

They all moved to Bristol

started trip hop, jungle, drum & bass, then they moved to London and started garage and grime

then they moved up North and started Desmonds

Just another thing, it's weird how there's a serious left-wing vegan student etc etc crowd, completely forgetting that Rasta's are die-hard homophobic Christians.. who happen to smoke weed and make good choons. uhhhhhh

>>73286416
Loads of people with Jamaican family in UK.
Loads of events that put on reggae in the UK.
Loads of people that love reggae in the UK.
Levi Roots reggae reggae sauce.

>>73286640
jungle is fucking sick tho

>>73286416
Basically because there was a lot of immigration from Jamaica into the UK, and a lot of Brits, especially the working classes who ended up with the Jamaicans, came to like it. It was a point of mutual appreciation between the native Brits and the immigrant Jamaicans.

Immigration then

>>73286442
I can't find the attractive people you mentioned anywhere

I hate this fucking country fuck patriotism seriously Britain's a shithole

What do you reckon /pol/ makes of reggae music

>>73286945
They'd just call it "degenerate nigger music" obviously

>>73286945

What did Roger Stone and Breitbart tell them to think about it?

>>73286416
The music is very slow so they are able to understand it, even with their inbred brains. It also contains a lot of bass which soothes teeth pain.

>>73287017
isn't it more like 'try to impress thy masters'-music?

only cute brit coming through

boy george

We can really thank Boy George and UB40 for the one-two punch that murdered UK reggae forever.

>>73287131
>this subhuman
>cute

>>73287112
I'm not ugly I hate this country because it's so hard to find other attractive people
I only had sex with like 5 different people because there's hardly anyone with the same level of attractiveness as me
Sometimes I have to compromise too

>>73287183
UB40's debut is legit great roots reggae tho. But Boy George was just riding the bandwagon.

>>73287131
She's disgustingly pale

Dude weed
Dude Bob Marley

And this is why 1st and 2nd gen Ska >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Reggae

>>73287379
>UB40's debut is legit great roots reggae

No.

>>73286499
>thinking in terms of genres

>>73287558
It is. Even if you're some kind of purist, you have to acknowledge that even the crustiest of roots artists like Burning Spear and Horace Andy sold out and went crossover at some point between disco and cock rock, not to mention all the British groups like Aswad and Steel Pulse except for LKJ. But that doesn't mean that they didn't start out making great stuff.

>>73287614

All of those artists are great and made great records before selling out and going crossover. UB40 never made great music, they were always a white new wave pop reggae band.

The only bigger laugh than comparing Horace Andy to UB40 is calling UB40 roots

btw, do people know that the most important parts on Bob Marley's albums were played by english studio musicians?

>>73287348
ur cool

>>73286654
Homophobia is more a Jamaican thing than a specifically Rastafarian thing. Like I'm sure being Old Testament loving Christians they are pretty down on little gay fellas but its not something that is ever mentioned in roots reggae like it is in ragga.

>>73287659
Cheers my dude

>>73287681
i am kidding you're a fag

>>73287647
It doesn't say so in the album credits that are available on wiki, at least.

>>73287647
The most important parts of reggae is the rhythm section, the drums and the bass, Aston and Carlton Barrett were not English.

Mind you, the whites who like reggae are more insufferable than any Jamaican could ever hope to be.
