A form of modern, relaxed, electronically enhanced lounge music. "Chillout" music is sometimes referred to as acid
jazz. It originated in the lounge scenes of
major cities such as New York and
Paris. First gaining its popularity amongst young, rich, often intellectual urbanites, it has begun to grow in popularity and spread on a wide scale. The genre includes a wide range of electronic interpretations of traditional music types such as
jazz, bossanova and easy listening.
The growing popularity of chillout music is slowly widening the influence of lounge scenes across the United States and abroad.
