Reggae (/ˈrɛɡeɪ/) is a music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1960s. While sometimes used in a broad sense to refer to most types of popular Jamaican dance music, the term reggae more properly denotes a particular music style that was strongly influenced by traditional mento and calypso music, as well as American jazz and rhythm and blues, especially the New Orleans R&B practiced by Fats Domino and Allen Toussaint, and evolved out of the earlier genres ska and rocksteady.
Stylistically, reggae incorporates some of the musical elements of rhythm and blues, jazz, mento (a celebratory, rural folk form that served its largely rural audience as dance music and an alternative to the hymns and adapted chanteys of local church singing), calypso, African music, as well as other genres. One of the most easily recognizable elements is offbeat rhythms; staccato chords played by a guitar or piano (or both) on the offbeats of the measure. The tempo of reggae is usually slower than ska but faster than rocksteady. The concept of "call and response" can be found throughout reggae music.

Genres: Drama,I think that you've been mistaken
I think last night you were so uncool
I think that you point your finger
Because you've got nothing better to do
It's not your life
Why must you criticize?
Learn how to free your mind
You may find
You free up something that you lost inside
You heard the word, thought you'd spread it
You heard it hurt so you whispered it to
All the people who were begging for it
You took her thoughts and colored them blue
Man it's such a trip because old school we used to kick it
But now Drip hangs around and annoys just like the hic up's
'cause the story is always the same
You got something burning
In the back of your brain
Anger eats, defeats, and depletes
Keeps us going backwards on a one way street
Our emotions always seem to leave us blind
I fear that we've been mistaken
I heard last night you were so damn cool
I guess that we point our fingers at you
