When will this bachata garbage go the way of reggaeton?

> remixes of old 60s motown hits in gay boy 'sensitive' voice
> every song sounding the same
> it's like PRs and DRs are the harbingers of bad taste, and being a NY'er I end up encountering this shyt too often




I'm say no offense, but yes offense, why y'all gotta let this shyt thrive

Well, I personally think Bachata was much better in the mid-to-late 90s.
Once Aventura came around in the early 2000s, it started going downhill.
I like some Aventura songs, but they really are the ones that made it annoying and soft. Then girls started getting on acts like Prince Royce.

I do agree that I don't like spanish remixes of famous english songs.

Feel like merengue/bachata/salsa peaked in the late 90s if being in NY is an indicator. I dunno if the artists making music back then just face up and jumped on that reggaeton wave but when you do hear merengue/salsa/bachata, it's always some throwback 90s shyt.

I guess it depends.
In the 90s you really had Antony Santos, Luis Vargas and Raulin Rodriguez killing it.
And I guess to a degree Teodoro, Frank Reyes and Kiko Rodriguez. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of them.
Then it started getting a bit softer with Joe Veras, Yoskar Sarante, Zacarias Ferreira...then it got really soft with that Aventura and Prince Royce stuff. This new bachata damn near makes you wanna cut your wrist.
I don't listen to as much spanish music as I used to.
When I'm feeling really hickish, I'll throw on some old Tatico Henriquez tho (1970s). That's straight "campo" music tho, lol.
Or Luis Segura/Leonardo Paniagua.
As far as reggaeton and dembow...I never got into that stuff.
That music, to me, really does sound the same. I could go with some Don Omar because he was unique in a way. Maybe early Tego Calderon. But that's about it.

I listen mostly to alternative rock and hip hop...but not much of the new stuff.

Don't bachata go back to the 60s and 70s backcountry of DR?

Earlier than that.
President/Dictator Rafael Trujillo hated bachata music, and for decades it wouldn't be played on the radio. It was relegated to shady bars and brothels.

True, I was doing a little research for a book and had to read up on DR music so bachata in particular caught my eye. I read that it was mostly some lower class gutter shyt, but it makes me wonder why the subject matter was more so about love/heartbreak rather than politics or poverty given where this music was being made.
