Salvadoran hip hop (also known as "Guanaco", "Wanako", or "Guanako" rap/hip hop) is hip hop and rap music that comes from El Salvador. It is a relatively new style of music, when groups like Pescozada and Mecate formed in the late 1990s, which have grown to be acclaimed and famous throughout the world.^{[citation needed]} Because of the poverty, growth, war, bloodshed, dictatorship, gangs, and other things El Salvador has survived, their new generation has a different perspective of the world. They do not usually rap about regular hip-hop topics (such as prostitutes, money, cars, drugs, and sex), but rap about today's youth, generation, politics, and gangs.^{[citation needed]}
