Jersey club is a high-energy music genre characterized by its fast-paced, dancefloor-friendly beats, often between 130-140 BPM, and typically featuring a mix of hip-hop, house, and electronic dance music (EDM) elements. Emerging in the mid-2000s in Newark, New Jersey, the genre evolved as a unique blend of local styles, influenced by Baltimore club and Philly club music. Jersey club's popularity peaked in the 2010s, with its cultural significance lying in its reflection of the urban experience and youth culture in the Northeast. The genre's distinctive sound often features syncopated drum patterns, heavy use of 808 drums, and catchy, repetitive melodies, setting it apart from similar styles like Baltimore club and EDM. Vocal styles range from energetic, rhythmic flows to melodic, Auto-Tune-infused hooks. Jersey club's DIY ethos and internet-driven proliferation have allowed it to thrive as a grassroots movement, with a loyal following and a growing influence on mainstream hip-hop and electronic music.
