Hyphy
Hyphy is a vibrant subgenre of hip hop that emerged in the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Characterized by its high-energy beats, thumping basslines, and catchy hooks, hyphy encourages wild, uninhibited dancing and a party-centric lifestyle, often reflected in its lyrics and music videos. Notable for popularizing phrases like "going dumb" and "getting hyphy," the genre's key figures include artists like E-40 and Keak da Sneak, who helped propel its infectious sound and culture into the mainstream.
