- Booty bass
The term "booty bass" can refer to several different, loosely related genres of music.
*
Miami bass - largely based in Miami and elsewhere in Florida. It is essentially the second form of Hip-Hop to come into existence, but wasn't known by the media until the 1990's, when the music had become stigmatised by explicit lyrics; includes performers like2 Live Crew *
Ghettotech - largely based inDetroit, Michigan , considered a fusion ofMiami bass with new school Detroit Electro, despite it not resembling either. The tempos are far faster than either genre, and it maintains the repetitive nature of modern post-rave global electronic dance music.*
Ghetto house - largely refers to later periodDance Mania Records recording artists. This is a brand of new schoolHouse music performers who loop often X-rated lyrics over House beats.*
Baltimore Club - Also known as Baltimore Breaks, this genre is popular mostly in Maryland, and the music genreGhetto house borrows many elements from it, with the exception of being based onHouse music instead of breakbeats.
