a variation of electronic music that uses a 4/4 beat. It was developed by dance club DJs in Chicago in the 1980s. Its name probably comes from the fact that it was mostly played at wearhouses.
House music contains many different influences and styles that range from electronic to disco. There is funky house (close to funk music), electro house (close to techno), disco house (close to disco 70s style), and groovy house (flowy and groovy). There is also progressive house and hard house plus many more depending on the djs style.
The distinguishing factor between house and techno (which is what many people confuse it for) is that in house one can feel the kick/clap beat to it and the 70s disco that is in it. There are many different songs that are very borderline house/techno but before you sound like an idiot saying something is house hear for the funky/disco sense to it.
Although the popularity of house music has declined, there are many different djs and fans that are keeping the genre alive. Many shirts exist with things saying "i love house music" or "house music souldier".
If You really care and wanna take the minute to hear the difference listen to :
Daft Punk - Around The World (HOUSE)
Dj Isaac - Go Insane (TECHNO)
regardless its music and if you like you do and if you don't....

A genre of dance music popular at raves, often held in warehouses (hence the name). It's heavily eletronic, with a repetitive 4/4 beat (four-to-the-floor) and a lot of synth and bass. Usually not too many lyrics. Related to trance and techno.

the chillest, most relaxing, and best music you'll ever listen to... usually has a constant 4 beat combined with a rhythm and/or vocals, only the cool people listen to house

A type of electronic music with many sub-genres (e.g. hard house, Chicago house, disco house, etc.), generally sharing a dance-able beat. Named "House Music" after The Warehouse club in Chicago where it originated in the early 1980s.
The definition of the word is currently degenerating and being used to describe techno music, mainly by closet homosexual frat boys attempting to usurp the word to cover up the gayness of the reality of their listening to techno music.

Music that requires no talent and can easily be made by anyone with the right software as long as it's in 4/4 time and makes drunk people want to dance. Big in Europe because apparently after being home to many talented musicians the entire continent decided to give up.
House music is often lacking in the intricacies which make up other genres. Lyrics are often retarded and written on a first grade level with no more than two syllables so drunk girls can slur along.
The minimalistic nature supposedly makes it cool...it's really just easier for people to dance to....which is fine, just don't call it music.
Chicago is home to many great musicians...this is their fat bastard, unloved child.

house music is a type of EDM that is different to dubstep because it usually involves more singing than just a few words

A type of music that usually contains rythms and sounds associated with electronica as well as lyrics, although these lyrics are often repeated throughout the entire song so as to blend in with the background music. Given the name house music because people would listen to it while working/hanging out around the house. not intended to be listened to closely like Rock or Emo music.
