Hi-NRG

Hi-NRG is a high-tempo, energetic subgenre of dance music that emerged in the late 1970s and gained popularity through the 1980s, known for its driving beats, pulsating basslines, and soaring synths. Often characterized by its upbeat and infectious rhythms, Hi-NRG became a staple in nightclubs, particularly within the LGBTQ+ community, and influenced the development of later electronic dance music styles. Its exuberant sound and relentless pace make it perfect for dancefloors, with iconic tracks like "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" by Dead or Alive epitomizing its vibrant spirit.
