One of the biggest contributions of reggae music is the theme of a good attitude even in times of struggle. The harsh conditions during the times of colonialism in Jamaica led to poverty, crime, oppression, economic shortages, racial discrimination and homelessness. Reggae music acted as an audiotopia for both the musicians and listeners - a way for them to release their pain.
