Skiladiko

Skiladiko

Skiladiko (or Skyladiko) is either a derogatory term to describe laiko or a decadent form of laiko.

The term is also used to describe the places on which this type of music is performed. The term derives from "skylos" (σκύλος) which means dog. "Skiladiko" refers dog-house, a term that referred to cheap or often unlicensed night clubs with a bad reputation on the borders of the city or town.

The term gradually became popular and is frequently used by Greek non-listeners of forms of modern bouzouki-dominated music that dismiss these types of music as oriental, under-class and of non-existent artistic value.
