...the cheesy snare buildup in any and every commercial house/techno track. The bit that says to you "Now hold on everyone, 'coz in a minute it's all gonna go MENTAL!!!11". Gah.
I've got the Empirion album which I quite like and there's an otherwise good track that's spoiled by that.
What *is* reggaeton, exactly?
and the cheesy snare buildup in reggaeton is especially great when it goes into a doubletime bass kick that makes it hardcore!
I dont think instruments/effects sounds can get passe, what does happen though is they get over popularized and alot of people do a less good job using them so you associate the instrument with the more prevailant efforts. I reckon this applies to the guitar, 303, amen break whatever. It doesn't mean that that sound is any less good its just less commonly being used effectively.

I thought the -ton comes from the spanish suffix that means -ful
so "reggae-ful" or "reggae-like" but with the use of a spanish language ending implying a combination of spanish-speaking + reggae music

I reckon time-stretched vocals have been away for so long, they could make a nice little comeback.
