Any music of any genre other than reggaeton and trap. Their "hit songs" rarely manage to survive more than 5 years in the collective thought of the masses, then they become "background noise" in nightclubs, supermarkets, squares and other meeting places, overshadowed by the disposable "hit of the moment".
You must not be outside then
In the communities where this music is popular, there are definitely a lot of classic songs coming out that aren't just background noise, and they actually turn up the clubs.
To people outside of these communities it might seem like they only survive 5 years, but if you're inside you'll recognize patterns in songs that keep coming up and that people listen to the most. That's what really makes them classics, not just random people on Lemmy deeming them as such.
Bad bunny, El Alfa, Tokischa, Chucky73, RaiwAlejandro, and Daddy Yankee have all been relasing songs that the community will remember for a long time and deem classics. Reggaeton is going through a second, smaller, golden age and it will be remembered.
Your comment sounds a bit racist ngl
I'm Latin American, I grew up in this, it's part of my culture, that's why I know where all this is going (about musical genres). I'm not an "outsider".
You have no idea what you're talking about, right?
