Ghetto house is a raw and high-energy subgenre of house music that emerged in the 1990s, characterized by its fast tempos, minimalistic production, and explicit or repetitive vocal samples. Rooted in Chicago’s underground dance scene, it blends elements of house, hip-hop, and electro, often featuring pounding 808 drum patterns, lo-fi synths, and heavily syncopated rhythms. The genre thrives on its gritty, rebellious attitude, with tracks built for dancefloor intensity. Over time, ghetto house has influenced styles like juke and footwork, maintaining its status as a fast, hypnotic, and infectious strain of club music.
