serious question: when and where did house music stop being cool amongst black Americans?

[AlainLocke]

Some of that stuff is good.

My thing is I solely use youtube to find new tracks to play out for dj gigs so i find stuff thats good and stuff that sucks everywhere. Kind of like when i first got into buying records from 1999-2002 and really spent time looking for new tracks.

I like mixing deep soulful sounds with minimalist clicks and cuts and mixing thpse chicago and detroit deep house and 90s nyc house records with newer style european tech house records.

I like Future house, but that's rooted in Deep House which is rooted in Chicago House...

I like some MicroHouse stuff..

I need to get into DJing though...that's some good money...

What demographic you mostly spin for?

The parties I've played here in BK have been predominantly white with some black and spanish people in the mix.

Ive just been playing some lowkey loft parties. Gonna be doing some rooftop parties again very soon in Bushwick.

I want to spin some shyt...but I think most people where I am at wanna hear some Trap

 

[Vinny Lupton]

Plus @Poitier the big difference

Trap is 3×4
House techno is 4×4.

The snare on trap hits at every 3rd note.
And is usually 130-140bpm.

none of this is true. trap is 4/4 and the bpms are 55-65bpm
the snare is on 2 and 4 like 95% of modern music
lack the ability to count beats crehs

Someone has probably already said it but when the homarsexals and cacs started listening to it

the crossroads of house +R&b +HipHop

I still love this song.

Man I love that late 80s house sound. this shyt is official

nah, they were always there. 3 of the iconic djs/pioneers of House were gay

 

[Brock Landers]

Funny how stuff like this always come back around, I remember being absolutely with the house radio station on GTA San Andreas. Even as a younger kid I was introduced to mainstream house music yet today's "deep house" is a clear representation of the stuff that came out way back then.

Slightly unrelated but I feel like a lot of those early african american electronic artists are underappreciated or damn near ignored when it comes to the influence they had on hiphop and electronic music in general. Cybotron and Man Parish in particular get no love from even the most ardent backpakcers.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

The fact that cats are calling House "cac" shyt when if anything it was popped off by the black gay scene in NYC after it left the midwest.

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

When did people stop wearing corsettes over dresses? Things change tempted to neg.

Wow, this post was wayyy dumber than the OP

Has House/Techno EVER been that big amongst black ppl outside of Detroit and Chicago ?

Damn I'm getting school.

Do anyone know the earliest house song???

The one that blew the doors down was Jamie Principal's "Your Love", the Frankie KNuckles mix. Somebody else posted it in this thread, but it was like a bomb

Chicago house is my lifeblood man!
Larry Heard especially.

Ask Kanye about this one

Spoiler

House never stopped being cool amongst aframs but the truth of the matter is, it was a heavily regional afram music along with techno (detroit) and garage (new york/jersey). It was never a music that permeated all of afroamerica so if you weren't from those places, the muisic probably didn't touch you as much.

Nah, house was mainstream for a while, bruh

Spoiler

From like '89-'92, there was a lot of house music influenced R&B on Black radio

House music stopped being "cool" when we ceased dancing as key
social activity.

Up until about the 1990s, dancing had always been synonymous with partying for
black folk.

Soul Train was just a televised version of the way black folk would party.

The strip club replaced the dance club.

This is SUCH an underrated post.

When Black men stopped dancing (thanks to Hip-Hop)

I aslo lame the radio for conditioning people into listening to just "1 song". And people not listening to house music loud as fukk with a good ass dj seemlessly transitioning and blending two or 3 songs together.

Underrated post as well.

DJs used to have these great mixes on radio and now it's just 3 min. pop songs

I never found house using enjoyable. In Brooklyn all we listened too was reggae,soca,hip hop and r&b. I grew up thinking house is white people shyt. Thus why I found it corny

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Nah, house was mainstream for a while, bruh

most people that heard those songs outside of the house/techno/garage hot beds, didn't even know that was house music but as I mentioned before, alot of songs that people grouped as R&B was house based back then. The majority of black america outside those hotbeds were not aware of the underground clubbing scene and the music that came with it.

 

[eufemism]

What are some good albums to get into house music?


I like Daft Punk but that's about all I know of the genre

Are the woman fine in them parties? Might pull up to expand my music horizons. All the clubs and parties I go to have trap and drill music and I like them but shyt gets a little too hectic.
