Bouncy house is a high-energy electronic dance music genre characterized by its fast-paced, driving rhythms (typically between 160-180 BPM), often featuring synthesized leads, catchy melodies, and simple, repetitive vocal hooks. Emerging in the late 1990s and peaking in popularity around the early 2000s, bouncy house originated in the UK and Europe, influenced by trance, hardcore techno, and Eurodance. This genre is known for its euphoric, hands-in-the-air quality, often featuring build-ups, anthemic choruses, and a distinct "bouncy" bassline. Bouncy house drew from the rave and club scenes, catering to a young, energetic audience seeking an exhilarating dance experience. While closely related to trance and hardstyle, bouncy house is distinguished by its more playful, accessible sound and emphasis on melody, making it a staple of the early 2000s club landscape.
