Neoperreo

Neoperreo is a Reggaetón subgenre that was established in the mid-to-late 2010s. The term ‘neoperreo’ was first coined by Chilean musician Tomasa del Real, who named her reggaeton collective after the term. Her parties, also branded 'neoperreo' events, were originally organized in Chile, but quickly spread all throughout South America, making them integral to the quick rise of the genre. Central within neoperreo is a focus on aesthetic and the idea of features that are emblematic for the genre, like (high) fashion, tattoos, and celebrating femininity. In order to realize this, neoperreo identifies as an apolitical, decentralized, inclusive movement, which aims to both empower women and make clubbing safer and less misogynistic.
