Bloghouse

Bloghouse (also known as bloghaus) is a loosely defined scene and microgenre of house and electronic dance music that rose to prominence during the early 2000s. Initially emerging on the Internet, similarly to other early blog-related music scenes such as blog rock and blog rap. The style was characterized by its fusion of electroclash, house music, nu rave, electro house, electro dance, electro hop, nu-disco, French touch, new wave, and indie rock aesthetics.

The scene originally emerged from the early online musical blogosphere, with music being distributed through MP3 blogs, like Hype Machine and Hipster Runoff, as well as early social media platforms such as Myspace.

The bloghouse era went on to become an influence on the hyperpop movement, as well as an inspiration for the "indie sleaze" aesthetic, which was coined in 2021, to refer to the fashion and visual style of bloghouse-related artists alongside various other 2000s alternative music scenes. Notable acts include Justice, Crystal Castles, Uffie, Mstrkrft, Simian Mobile Disco, and Boys Noize.
