Defining House Music
House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the 1980s. It is characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat and a typical tempo of 120 to 130 beats per minute. House music was influenced by elements of disco, post-disco, acid house, and techno.
The genre was initially popularized in Chicago clubs such as The Warehouse and Trax. House music quickly spread to other American cities such as Detroit, New York, and Los Angeles, and then to Europe, particularly the United Kingdom and Ibiza. By the early 1990s, house music had become the dominant form of club music in Europe. In the early 2000s, house music experienced a global resurgence with the advent of electronic dance music festivals such as Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival.
