Reggae is a genre of music, dancehall is a sub-genre within reggae. Dancehall has more of a hip-hop influence than traditional roots and one-drop reggae beats.

First there was Ska, out of which evolved Rocksteady, which in turn became Reggae, which has developed into a number of different styles: Roots, Dub, Dub Poetry, Toasting, Lover's Rock, Niyabingi (traditional drumming and chanting) and Dancehall (both Slack and Conscious).There are different types of reggae.
