Alternative reggaeton is a sub-genre of reggaeton that emerged from the hip hop movement as a reaction to its repetitive and monotone dembow rhythm and the predominant stereotypical gangsta content that became predictable. The result was a complex sound derived from world sounds mainly rooted in Latin American folk music such as Puerto Rican bomba y plena salsa and tango and also other foreign influenced music such as rock en español.
