The thing with Gen X and music is that yes we had grunge but we also had rock and funk and hip hop and rap and pop and house and trance and lounge and reggae and soul and Gregorian chants ffs.

es ist immer „techno tischtennis“ aber nie „pop girl ping pong“, „salsa schmetterball“ oder „reggae rundlauf“ 😔

OK Fred, replete with yagga yaggas, was initially a 1965 novelty B side by Liverpool pop trio The Ladybirds.
It was then turned into this reggae classic at Studio 1 by John Holt in 1971...

Ska, reggae, and dancehall all exist because Jamaica didn't enforce copyright laws until the late 80s, so calypso artists were free to do unregulated/pirate covers of American and British pop songs in their own idiom, which effectively created the aforementioned styles
OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?
Reminds me of how almost all the French dadaists and surrealists were WWI veterans of the trenches seriously exploring alternatives to conventional thought and language.

Over the years, something I almost always get asked in interviews is how I, a white guy, got into reggae 🤷♀️
I think they're expecting some kind of origin story, and my discovery of these "exotic" sounds, but the truth is much more mundane. Reggae was pop music in the 70s and 80s

I grew up as a white kid in South Wales in the 70s & 80s… on one hand, it’s a bit odd that I ended up being completely obsessed with reggae/dub/ska… on the other hand, you see old clips like this and it makes perfect sense…

Just realized on my trillionth listen to “Cannonball” that one of the things that makes it a perfect pop song is the little irritant in the self-referential “this reggae song” (no way is it reggae!). That’s how you grow pearls!

Un recuerdo del 2018: yo estaba pinchando una sesión de REGGAE. Se acerca una chica a la cabina: "dale un poco de marcha, no?". Sonrío cordialmente. Al cabo de un rato vuelve: "has puesto lo mismo". Le aclaro: "esto es una sesión de reggae". Ella, sin ironía: "¡QUIERO POP DE LOS 90!".

19 Nov 1979, #FrankZappa's 1 & only rock opera, Joe's Garage, was released. The opera mixed styles of blues, jazz, doo-wop, orchestral, rock, pop & reggae. It was hailed as a milestone & landmark album. The work also looked forward to his later crusade against the Parents' Music Resource Center.
