Funk is a genre defined by its infectious grooves, syncopated rhythms, and dominant bass lines. Emerging in the 1960s, it combines elements of jazz, soul, and R&B to create upbeat, danceable tracks. The emphasis is on rhythm over melody, with electric guitars, horns, and drums adding to the energetic sound. Funk music is known for its lively, celebratory mood, often encouraging movement and improvisation. Subgenres like funk rock and funk soul offer variations, blending funk’s signature grooves with other styles to maintain its presence in modern music.
