The Acid music genre is an electronic subgenre that emerged in the 1980s, characterized by its use of the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer and squelchy, acidic sound. The genre originated from Chicago's house scene and was popularized by artists like Phuture, DJ Pierre, and Adonis. Acid music is known for its repetitive melodies, offbeat rhythms, and hypnotic effects on the listener. It has influenced various other electronic genres such as techno, trance, and acid house. The genre's popularity peaked in the 1980s and '90s but has since experienced a resurgence with contemporary artists like Luke Vibert and Autechre experimenting with its signature sound.
