EDM Subgenre: House

House music is probably the most common and mainstream form of EDM floating around these days. It originated in Chicago in the early 1980s, in 1985 it began to spread towards other major north and south American cities and Europe. Later it came to Australia. In the early 90s house music started to be fused with pop and dance genres worldwide and it can still be easily seen in the top 40 today.

House music has a very wide variety of sub genres within it, the ones most found these days would be:
Electro House
Deep House
Tech House
Progressive House

Although it is probably the most popular EDM genre by far still above the still rising Dubstep movement I have found that two to three months after discovering a few of the genre that there is very little creativity in the genre, especially in the new Big Room House (all credit to Martin Garrix for making this genre what it is now) with very similar build-ups just a different melody and a generic drop which sounds almost the same in nearly all of the songs.
