You Will Be Glad To Know About The Short History Of House Music

By Kathy Bowman


Music constantly changes over years and most notice how, like fashion, it does have a full circle. Lately the music styles from the 1950s have been returning along with the 1990s style with vocal harmony groups and boy bands. Two types of music which may have never really faded are house music and dance music. The 2 are constantly played in nightclubs everywhere in the Uk, whether those nightclubs are popular, mainstream ones or just underground ones.

What most people usually do not realise is that house music was actually started in the 1980s in Chicago and it only slowly propagated all over neighbouring cities until it was finally heard worldwide. This form of music is definitely not a popular choice with many people and it can be very hard to get into the sound; it is surely nothing like its predecessor, disco.

House music has slowly adapted through the years and it is because of house that dance music was invented in conjunction with hard house and drum and bass. All the sounds are very similar with a lot of synthetic sounds and a lot of bass but there are some very slight differences. Most people go for only listening to the style of music when in a nightclub especially if they want to sing along with the music they tune in to at home; house music very rarely has lyrics and they can be very hard to fully understand if they do.

The study of this style of music has become extremely popular in schools all around the country since it has continued to develop into a wide variety of styles. It has meant that many children have been maturing listening and commenting on the music style and so have gained an admiration for it. There have been others that have found that the constant, fast-paced beat is very useful when it comes to fitness training. You don't have to constantly alter the tracks when it comes to a slow song while the music has no lyrics that can be off-putting when attempting to train; many listeners state that they can simply pull the plug on and 'just run'.

With the growing utilization of social media sites, more artists that write and play house music happen to be able to get themselves well-known. Sites like MySpace can download their tracks so that anyone can listen and it has helped to increase the population of listeners. Many people love social networking for this reason; either they will promote themselves or they can find a new band to listen to. It has also contributed to those working to get into the music style because they can tune in to a track without needing to buy a whole album. It saves a lot of time and funds, especially if the listener decides that that style of music is simply not for them.

House music and dance music are definitely not styles for just anyone, just like the pop or rock genre. Many people just have their own personal preferences in music genres and it can be difficult to get out of that circle. There is no shame in not liking a particular style of music or liking certain styles, everybody is different.
