The reggaeton beat is incredibly repetitive but what I think is funny that techno and house got no shit whatsoever for also using the same repetitive rhythms yesterday.
do you actually think the people that hate reggaeton are big house/techno fans?

Was going to give a detailed response to this nah fuck it. Yes. I do literally believe this.
As a Hispanic person who has been regularly exposed to reggaeton against their will for decades at weddings, bars, birthday parties, etc, using Bad Bunny as an excuse for how bad 90% of that shit is doesn’t fly with me.
He and J-Balvin have been pushing the boundaries of what this form can do sonically, but there’s a full decade and a half of pretty irredeemable garbage from that genre. Songs with hooks like “tonight is sex night” and “rakata” - the imagined sound effect a man makes when fucking. The hook to the big song everyone knows (Gasolina) literally translates to “she loves cum.” For every Bad Bunny, there’s a sea of Daddy Yankees and Wisin and Yandels.
A legitimate defense of the genre is how much reggaeton sound has influenced popular music internationally. Maybe as a result, reggaeton is being pushed somewhere better now and moving forward.
All that said, I went trap. Reggaeton should be out pretty soon though.
Figured this is what would get quoted, doesn't mean I hate reggaeton though. I don't actively dislike it (or any genre, really), but I do find there's less variation within the genre compared to others. I love house (techno not nearly as much), but house doesn't nearly give me the same feeling of "I've heard this before" as reggaeton does. Or reggae, for that matter.
White Stripes was a lot of blues, QOTSA is blues, PJ Harvey has done blues, Nick Cave is a blues singer, Spiritualized is definitely blues based. There’s tons of things that have blues elements that you never think of as being that.

none of these are blues artists. all rock is blues based though, that doesnt mean anything.

But if a rock artist plays a song/songs that is/are very squarely blues, I'd be of the opinion that could be included in evaluating the excellence of the genre overall.

i noticed the same, but was waiting and hoping that someone would seriously posit that "the four on the floor beat is bad, actually."
Wait till you hear about how breakbeat came to be.

Change reggaeton with hiphop and it's pretty much the same thing lol.
