Diva house, a subgenre of electronic dance music, emerged in the late 1980s and flourished throughout the 1990s. Characterized by its upbeat, energetic rhythms, diva house combines elements of house, techno, and Eurodance, often featuring catchy melodies, synthesized leads, and driving beats. Vocal styles range from powerful, soulful diva-esque delivery to playful, attitude-infused rap. Born in the clubs of New York City and Europe, diva house drew inspiration from disco, funk, and soul, while its sassy, flamboyant aesthetic was heavily influenced by the LGBTQ+ community and drag culture. At its peak, diva house became a staple of mainstream dance floors, with its anthemic choruses and unapologetic, dance-the-night-away attitude. While sharing similarities with other genres like Hi-NRG and Eurodance, diva house stands out for its distinctive blend of sass, sparkle, and unbridled energy, setting it apart as a unique and enduring force in the world of electronic dance music.
