Bounce

Bounce is a high-energy music genre born in New Orleans in the 1990s, characterized by its infectious, repetitive rhythms, often featuring a prominent "triggerman" or "bounce" beat. This style is marked by its use of 808 drums, synthesized leads, and call-and-response vocal patterns, frequently incorporating elements of hip-hop, electronic, and funk music. Emerging from the city's vibrant club scene, bounce gained popularity in the early 2000s, particularly among African American youth. The genre's cultural significance lies in its reflection of New Orleans' unique cultural heritage and its role in the city's post-Katrina recovery efforts. Bounce's distinctive sound, which blends hip-hop's swagger with electronic dance music's energy, sets it apart from other styles, making it a staple of Southern hip-hop and a testament to the city's rich musical diversity.
