Reggaeton is a relatively new genre of dance music that has become popular in Puerto Rico over the last decade. Reggaeton was heavily infuenced by urban hip-hop music craze in the United States. As is the case with hip-hop music in the United States, reggaeton appeals primarily to youths. Reggaeton is closely associated with the "underground" movement of urban youth.
The explosion in reggaeton's popularity in Latino urban centers have prompted some to speculate that the genre will soon eclipse salsa, merengue and other pop music among Puerto Rican and other Hispanic youth. In part, this might be due to lyrics on issues and subjects of interest to those audiences: urban crime, sex and racism; issues which have similarly made hip-hop music so popular.
