Not sure what BBQ reggae is but proper old school reggae, rock steady and ska was great. A real hard edge to it, meaningful but often intelligible lyrics and so much laid back energy, if that isn't an oxymoron. But as soon as the music producers got hold of it and turned it more mainstream, adding strings and background harmonies it became something else entirely. An improvement that made things so much worse.
BBQ reggae . You'll regret asking
I can’t wait for the day when SIX60 graduate to becoming hold music when you ring up IRD. Dave Dobbyn and Bic Runga will be quaking in their boots at the thought of being replaced.

What the fuck has that pile of shit got to do with reggae.
Nailed it!
I wouldn't call Six-60 BBQ Reggae. They're just another anonymous, crap boy band laughing all the way to the bank.
Although this example is more like Kiwi (BBQ) reggae I mean it has 'roots' in the song title. Rasta Maan

Simon Sweetman disagrees, hard to believe this is 12 years old
And it's getting (so much) worse. We're now at phase two of NZ BBQ Reggae - and phase two stinks. You thought the original BBQ reggae players were nothing special (and trust me, they were not) well Six60 is leading music listeners down to the end of the cultural cul-de-sac. And people are following in droves; happy to all just pile up. There's no indication that anyone will be turning away anytime soon. In fact this traffic jam will happily wave a hand out the window in time with the lurch of lazy trance vamps; heads will bob to the sway of almost adequate guitar playing. quoted text here

@paremata I must admit I haven't heard much of their
musicshit. My comment was more at your example. Although I only managed to listen to the first 40 seconds or soI tapped out when Chloe Swarbrick showed up in the video.

Reggae has spun off many innovative genres (Rocksteady, Ska, Dub etc) and influenced popular music through drum and bass rhythms from the likes of Sly and Robbie. That's before we get to the influences of Lee Scratch Perry.
No reggae = no Clash if you want to take things that far and british music of the sixties was heavily influenced by a cultural mix of jazz/ blues/ ska to form the brit version of R&B.
Six60 do not deserve to be mentioned in the same breath but alas, they took those same influences and turned them into music to drink Speights to. -

This new guy @paremata shares some really shitty music.
I miss that guy jegga.
How much cred does @paremata have though? At least jegga had breakfast in the vicinity of ABs.
He lives in the best fucken suburb ON EARTH so that’s a start
What have Liam Squire, Jerome Kaino, Joe Moody and Damien McKenzie done lately ?

The mild attractiveness is completely offset by the complete and utter dickheadness I’m afraid
