Bubblegum Dance

"Think Nyan Cat, on crack. Basically, it’s music that you cannot dance to without looking like you’re an 8-year-old girl."

A bit of History:

Bubblegum dance is a subgenre of Eurodance music. The genre is characterized by cute lyrics and happy sounds. Bubblegum dance, however, usually has a more pop sound than other Eurodance songs. The lyrics and style are often light-hearted, amusing and cheerful and are not intended to be taken seriously. Bubblegum dance is similar to bubblegum pop music in that they both tend to have fun, childish subjects.

The name "bubblegum dance" was chosen probably because of its similarities with the 1950s pop music, in which the female artists often appeared in photos with a big pink bubblegum balloon in their mouth and exaggerated, wide and colorful skirts. In bubblegum dance tracks, females usually sing the chorus, often in a high-pitched tone. Males often provide rap vocals, which are sung in low tones. Bubblegum dance music is usually described as cheerful, amusing, silly and childish. Euro bubblegum dance originates in Scandinavia, particularly in Denmark where a large percentage of bubblegum dance music is produced, the late 1990s and early 2000s marking the high-point in the genera's popularity. Bubblegum dance music can be seen as the transition point between the harder style of music that was popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s and the happy "teen pop" music that was popular during the early 2000s.

This genera of music has amassed a huge following in Japan, most likely due to its use in popular dance games such as Dance Dance Revolution, In The Groove, and the Dancemania series. Many artists, such as Smile.dk, Bambee, Rebecca and Miss Papaya, have gained recognition and fame through these games. As well as this, anime has a large bubblegum dance following, and many fans choose to use bubblegum dance styled music in their fan-made anime music videos (AMVs).

Opinion :D

Bubblegum Dance is certainly an interesting genre. It's very lighthearted and fun. Though, personally, I would not listen to theis kind of music in my spare time, it's definitely a style of music worth checking out.
