About Jumpstyle

Jumpstyle is a subgenre of electronic dance music that emerged in Western Europe in the late 1990s, particularly in Belgium and the Netherlands. It is associated with a distinctive dance style commonly referred to as jumpen.

The genre developed within the broader European hard dance scene and became commercially prominent during the mid-2000s. In the 2020s, it experienced a revival through a microgenre known as "Yabujin-core", pioneered by Lithuanian rapper Yabujin.
