About
Big room house is a subgenre of house music characterized by its simple, driving beats, heavy kick drums, and stripped-down melodies often designed for large festival stages. It is known for its energetic drops and focus on creating a powerful, anthemic sound.
History
Big room house emerged in the early 2010s, gaining popularity through festivals and online music platforms. Influenced by progressive house and electro house, it quickly became a staple of EDM culture, spearheaded by artists like Swedish House Mafia, Hardwell, and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. It is criticized sometimes as being too simplistic and repetitive.
