KOT Share Their Two Cents on Gengetone Genre

Kenyans on Twitter went online to express their opinions on the new genre 'gengetone' and its future in the industry. This comes after the genre has been described as morally degrading. Here are some of the mixed reactions;

#Gengetone is some unique genre of music with very good beats but the message is just off... Too much vulgarity in their songs makes it hard to listen to as a family.

1. Sisi hupandana, panda panda

2. Banana, ninayo bas tunabakana ?

2. Pigwa finger na kidole kimejaa mangoto ?

The story of #gengetone is simple, for 2 and a half decades a small group of people have controlled Kenyan music in conjunction with events and media companies then boom young kids took over without warning and they can't take it, propaganda newspaper articles not working too
