Do you think reggae is dying?

[Ja sa bong]

I have been a bit concerned about what's going on with the reggae genre. Almost all the reggae artist's music I'm listening to are either dead or not in good health to produce new songs. The one's that still manages to release songs doesn't produce anything close to what we have seen in reggae years ago.

What's going with reggae? Are we witnessing the end of it?

You have a good point with your assessment because even with the way I go about playing reggae, I mostly play the old reggae songs and a few of the new ones. This means that the older songs had more uniqueness and makes more sense unlike what they sing now.

 

[Henry Smith]

Good old reggae songs are way better. I don't think that I have any current reggae songs which appeal to me. I haven't bothered about adding any of them in my Spotify playlist. They are all just full of garbage.

I'm not that much of a reggae fan, I can't really say whether the music genre is dying or not but I don't think it's going to die off soon. There are so many great reggae artist that won't let the music genre die.

Reggae isn't dying from the last time I checked, it's still one of most popular music genre. Younger musicians are not taking the reggae path which show they're helping to propagate the music genre.

Those who enjoy listening to reggae are very unique kind of audience because they don't normally like to mingle with other kind of music since they are practically different from what they enjoy in reggae music. For that reason, I don't think we are ever going to see the end of reggae music.

A genre that preach love, unity and justice won't die easily. Reggae can never die. It will continue to plant a significant impact and influence both individual and global. Even though it might not dominate the way it did in the past but it's still striving as a vibrant and influential genre.

A genre such as reggae is one I don't feel will ever die any time soon. I still hear about people who listen to reggae music new and old and I have always been a firm believer when I say that if there is an audience and a fan base for something, that will always keep something alive, that is how I look at reggae, it has an amazing fan base that will keep the genre alive.

Exactly! It's a unique kind of music genre which makes it something that is very special. If it is something that is very common like every other music genre out there, then there will be a higher possibility of it dying off if the musicians producing the music are not being very creative.

That's right. It will die off immediately but because if it's uniqueness and specialty, it's still dominating.

The creativeness behind the production of reggae music is something that makes it a phenomenal output that have a very lasting impression on those that enjoy that music genre. It's never going away.
