House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the early 1980s

House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the early 1980s. It was initially popularized in mid-1980s discothèques catering to the African-American, Latino, and gay communities; black record labels such as Trax Records played a significant role in bringing it to prominence. By the mid-to-late 1990s, house music had become popular in Europe as well as major cities in South America and Asia. Since the early 2000s, house music has been infused in mainstream pop and dance music worldwide.

The structure of house music songs typically involves an intro, a chorus, various verse sections, a bridge, and an outro. Some songs do not have a verse, taking a instead. The term “music” is derived from House Nation (originally called House Music Party Line), one of the first distinctive styles of house music produced in Chicago. House Nation was founded by Frankie Knuckles, Chip E., and Mr. Fingers (aka Larry Heard).

House is a genre of electronic dance music characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a tempo of 120 to 130 beats per minute. It was created by DJs and music producers from Chicago’s underground club culture in the 1980s, as DJs from the subculture began altering disco tracks to give them a more mechanical beat and deeper basslines.

The genre was initially popularized by DJ Frankie Knuckles, who is often credited as the “Godfather of House Music”. He played an important role in developing and popularizing house music with his club “The Warehouse”, which was the first nightclub to play house music exclusively. House music quickly spread to other American cities such as Detroit, New York City, and Baltimore. By the mid-1980s, house music had also reached Europe, Asia, and Australia.

House music has since evolved and diversified, with subgenres such as deep house, tech house, and Soulful house

Today, house music has evolved and diversified, with subgenres such as deep house, tech house, and Soulful house. House music is still very popular in clubs around the world, and is often played by DJs who specialize in this genre.

Despite its origins, house music is now popular all over the world, with festivals and clubs dedicated to the genre
