Slackness

Slackness refers to vulgarity in West Indian culture, behavior and the music associated with these cultural changes, especially the decline of roots reggae music. Today, it also refers to a subgenre of dancehall music with crude, sexual lyrics performed live or recorded. Its form and pronunciation varies throughout the Caribbean. For instance, on St. Kitts and Nevis the terms "Slack" or "Loose" are used.
