Who?

Urban Dictionary definition


For far too long, millions of reggae culture enthusiasts have embedded themselves into arguably one of the most potent cultures anchored by Reggae music. These individuals are usually called "Reggae Fans," but it goes deeper than that for this global audience. It's not just about the music, it's the entire culture birthed by the music. It's a way of life, speech, fashion, food, and lifestyle. We've branded these true Reggae Culture enthusiasts as 'Reggae Phreniks.' In its original spelling, Phrenic means "of or relating to the mind". This accurately describes the individual who eats, sleeps, and breathes reggae culture. It's a state of mind that goes far beyond the music. Tell the world who you are. You're a ReggaePhrenik®

ReggaePhrenik® exists to give the global Reggae culture community a brand they can truly call their own.

Our mission is to champion the passionate, the proud, and the underrepresented — creating a cultural home for every soul for whom Reggae is not just something they listen to, but something they live.
