"House music" is a type of electronic dance music. It first appeared in the early 1980s in Chicago, Illinois. Some people think the name "house music" "was derived from" (came from) the name of a Chicago nightclub, The Warehouse, which was one of the first places where the music became popular.

The music is characterized by the use of "drum machines" (an electronic machine that produces the sounds of drums without using actual drums) and "synthesized" (electronic) "bass lines" (the low-pitched, simple melodies traditionally played on a bass guitar). The "rhythm" (beat) tends to be very repetitive, and in some ways the rhythm is more important than the melody. The "kick drum" (bass drum, a large drum that has a low pitch) is played on every beat, four times in a "measure" (section of music and a way of counting the number of beats in a song). House music has few or no "vocals" (singing), but when it does have "lyrics" (words that are sung in a song), they often "convey" (express) political messages.

Disco was influence by house music, which "dabbled in" (tried a little bit of) electronic music. House music takes some elements of disco music and makes them "fully" (entirely; completely) electronic and more repetitive.

Today, house music is "mainstream" (commonplace; accepted by many or most people). Famous "recording artists" (musicians) like Madonna and Janet Jackson have "incorporated" (integrated; adopted and used) elements of house music into their own performances.
