Wtf it only took like 4 months it took see you again like 2 years
I have somehow never heard this song. I guess I'll keep it that way for contrarianism's sake, but why is it so popular?
-Spanish is a romantic language
-reggaeton is taking over the world
-easy to remember the hook (des-pa-cito)
From personal observation girls love the intimate dancing that goes with reggaeton and guys love to get in that
I say listen to it, you might not like it but at least be familiar with it
It's probably going to be outnumbered by the major hit of the next summer.

and I live in a third world country where most people can barely speak english, not even spanish.
I don't fucking get it anymore. There's literally nothing special about this song. At least gangnam style was a little "quirky" and fun by normie standards but this one is just shit. It's literally just catchy. It's like normies are getting dumber and dumber by the day. Everything has become commercialized beyond saving. Shit's depressing
Wow I finally decided to listen to it. It's just shitty reggaeton, nothing special about it at all.

>It's literally just catchy
Catchy is good.
/mu/tant contrarians will deny this, but psychologically, catchy music is good.
>>74370614
Catchy is good, but not when it's literally the only worthwhile thing about a song.
A 4/4 beat with nothing else is catchy. Doesn't mean it isn't lacking and basic.
I really don't get this one. I just don't find it catchy. I'm all for catchy music, but I don't see what's catchy about this one. What is the catchy melody?
>>74370614
Only the pretentious would argue that being catchy is a bad thing in music.

the only reason Baby and Despacito got so many views is because their target demographic doesn't know how to use spotify or other music apps (or to juat buy the song).
they just play the song over and over again on youtube. Gangnam was at least visually stimulating and fun to watch
