Reggae was created a long time ago with famous ariest that brought the bad vibe into a very good vibe they changed the life style of everyone till now they are still  legends and it came from a rhythm and soul where it started was Jamaican folk music all the way back from slavery. It evolved into mento that was just an updated version. Mento was very asscoutic , mento was sung by old people , it was often sung with shakers. Scar music was very upbeat and fast. Rock steady was slower than scar music . Lovers rock was very slow and romantic so you can move to it . Djs used to put loud and big speakers on their trucks so that people can listen to there music. Dancehall is where you had artists such as elephant man , it was upbeat but not too upbeat and not to vulgar making it more modern, after that rolls your Bashment. Everything nowadays is pop fusion. Music was so influential that people would actually fight . There is always a dance to accompany the music. The music always develops over time, it first starts off all nice and clean then when you revisit the song it changes then it changed to all dirty and talking to negative things.
