A Call for Respect to Reggae Dancehall and Its Offshoot: Stop Raping Our Culture By Fabian Stennett Reggae and dancehall are not just genres—they are lifeblood, spiritual inheritance, and the voice of a people. Born from the struggles and resilience of Jamaica, these sounds have echoed across the globe, inspiring movements, igniting revolutions, and influencing countless other musical forms. But in recent years, a troubling pattern has emerged: cultural exploitation disguised as appreciation. Stop raping our culture. Too often, outsiders cherry-pick the aesthetics, slang, rhythm, and vibe of reggae and dancehall without understanding—or respecting—the deep cultural roots they come from.

When dancehall is reduced to TikTok dances and reggae to background music for beach ads, we lose something sacred. Wh...
