House Music: The Trend

Historically, we can notice the continuous and notorious increase in popularity of what before was considered to be simply a music created by computers. What was once popular just in Europe has now found its niche in America.

In the past few years, what was once dominated by rock, reggae, blues, R&B and soul has opened its doors to what is now considered one of the most popular music styles.

The house music is basically an electronic dance type of music which initially originated in Chicago back in early 1980s. It is during the same decade that the music got popularized among the African-American, the Latino American and the gay communities. The music gradually gained popularity lead by the infamous House Music Tour. The popularity spread through the United States before spreading to the world.

The origin of the word 'House Music' might trace the roots from a nightclub in Chicago by the name 'The Warehouse'. The club existed between 1977 and 1983. This was a dancing spot for the gay black and the Latino men who frequented the place for disco dances. The name is believed to have been derived from a sign written 'we play house music'.

The House music has been influenced greatly by other kind of music. The visible elements include those of funk and soul infused varieties of disco. In general, the house music basically mimics the disco percussion. This has is evident especially when considering the continued use of the bass drum on the bears.
