Forums - Music Discussion - Despacito is the first YouTube video to reach 3 billion views.

This song started in Puerto Rico. I went over there 2 weeks by the time it became popular and heard the song everywhere I went. It became so popular that the song was already in south america in no time which is the place where justin bieber heard the song. Justin bieber notice how popular the song was over there as well that decided to contact luis fonsi to make the remix. 2 months in and the song is still popular. The thing about this song is that it is very catchy. if you listened the song long enough, you will ended up liking it whether you like or not. it happened to me and apparently a lot of people.

I haven't accessed it a single time, but I was forced to watch on a friend house 3x in a row.

I watched the video for the first time a couple of days ago. I was pretty sick of the song and the JB Remix catapulted the song to new heights of popularity. I said "the hell with it" and saw the music video for the fist time.



Yikes. I was having a couple beers with friends at a sidewalk bar and this accordion dude a bit further down the road ONLY KNEW THIS SONG. This song. On accordion. For two hours. I never really cared for it, and now I'm certainly not going to start liking it.



I am constantly amazed how massive something in culture can become with me having zero knowledge of it. Well done to them, never heard of this song.

Normally I completely understand why some songs are as famous as they are, I'm even good at predicting which ones will turn into a hit (both songs and albums), but the success of this song in particular baffles me. I'm honestly still trying to figure out what makes it special. I mean, it sounds like other 9000 songs sang in spanish. Even from a melody standpoint the song is pretty lame and samey... it brings nothing new, it's not sang by a notoriously singer, it's generic, shallow and boring. I think I'll never understand.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee not notorious singers?!

 

LMAOOOO

If you need anymore proof that our culture is degenerating....

Those stupid millenials and their music! One day they're gonna bring back the antichrist!

Gosh, the past generations were so much better with their wars, genocides, famines, mass rapes, lack of education, poor hygiene, low life expectancies, sexist mindsets, and miserable lives. 

It has nothing to do with age...but everything with taste. Only a few years too old to be considered a "millennial" myself, most annoying word ever btw., but I'm proud that I grew up in a time where MJ, Beasty Boys, NWA, Nirvana and Rage Against The Machine were the 'hot shit' not Gangnam Style, this crap and EDM.



I understand that people dont like this song.

I understand that people dont like the video.

But shitting on Luis Fonsi is just hilariously dumb and uninformed.

He is one of the most talented artist nowadays that went away from his usual genre, which is romantic ballads, to do this song with one of the most famous reggaeton artists ever, and one of the pioneers of the genre which is Daddy Yankee.

Maybe this is the first time you heard about these guys, but trust me: They are HUGE, and really, really talented.



This song got annoying like 5 minutes after it came out :v

I can't help but read this on Trump's voice.
