What is House Music? Is it Dance Music?

I'm trying to figure out what house music is and what it sounds like. Can someone define to me what house music is and why a person listens to it or what type of style it is?

Answer:

House music is a style of electronic music that you tend to dance to. People a lot of times say that if you want to dance to it with your body then it is usually house music. It is also defined as electronic dance music.

It originated in the city of Chicago in the United States in the 1980s roughly. Funny as it may sound it started from the gay community mainly of African Americans and Latinos. From there it splashed out to everywhere and became super popular in no time.

From there on out it is been found in a lot of mainstream music and pretty much we mix to any style that you can think of. House music is one of the most popular styles of music worldwide it's just that people don't necessarily know that it's categorized as house music.

Do not hate on the style of music before you're educated on actually learning what it is because you might already of liked it and you didn't even know it yourself.
