[[House music]] is a genre of [[electronic dance music]] that originated in [[Chicago]] in the early 1980s (also see: [[Chicago house]]). It quickly spread to other American cities such as Detroit, where it developed into the harder and more industrial [[techno]], New York City (also see: [[garage house]]), and Newark – all of which developed their own regional scenes.

In the mid-to-late 1980s, house music became popular in Europe as well as major cities in South America and Australia.<ref name=unesco_4>{{cite journal | url=http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0012/001201/120152e.pdf | title=The club DJ: a brief history of a cultural icon | publisher=UNESCO | date=July–August 2000 | last=Fikentscher | first=Kai | journal=UNESCO Courier | page=47 | quote=Around 1986/7, after the initial explosion of house music in Chicago, it became clear that the major recording companies and media institutions were reluctant to market this genre of music, associated with gay African Americans, on a mainstream level. House artists turned to Europe, chiefly London but also cities such as Amsterdam, Berlin, Manchester, Milan, Zurich, and Tel Aviv.&nbsp;...

Since the early to mid-1990s, house music has been infused in mainstream [[Pop music|pop]] and [[dance music]] worldwide.

House music in the 2010s, while keeping several of these core elements, notably the prominent [[kick drum]] on every beat, varies widely in style and influence, ranging from the soulful and atmospheric [[deep house]] to the more aggressive [[acid house]] or the minimalist [[microhouse]]. House music has also fused with several other genres creating fusion subgenres,<ref name="allmusic"/> such as [[Eurodance|euro house]], [[tech house]], [[electro house]], and [[Jump House (music genre)|jump house]].

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, [[rave]] culture began to emerge from the house and acid house scene.<ref>{{cite magazine | url = http://music.hyperreal.org/library/history_of_house.html | title = The History Of House | access-date = August 13, 2013 | first = Phil | last = Cheeseman-fu | magazine = [[DJ Magazine]] | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130906062503/http://music.hyperreal.org/library/history_of_house.html | archive-date = September 6, 2013 | url-status = live | df = mdy-all }}</ref> Like house, it incorporated disco culture's same love of dance music played by DJs over powerful [[PA system|sound systems]], [[recreational drug]] and club drug exploration, sexual promiscuity, and [[hedonism]]. Although disco culture started out underground, it eventually thrived in the mainstream by the late 1970s, and major labels commodified and packaged the music for [[mass consumption]]. In contrast, the rave culture started out underground and stayed (mostly) underground. In part, this was to avoid the animosity that was still surrounding disco and dance music. The rave scene also stayed underground to avoid [[law enforcement]] attention that was directed at the rave culture due to its use of secret, unauthorized warehouses for some dance events and its association with illegal club drugs like [[Ecstasy (drug)|ecstasy]].
