In the decades since house music was born in Chicago, it has been bastardized, evolved, and shape-shifted into a whole new beast with more sub-genres and strange names that even rave historians struggle to keep up with. From witch-house to acid house, flute-house, and even lo-fi-microwave-hot-pocket house (OK made that one up but give it a year)—there's a lot to keep up with these days. Sometimes, it's easier to describe things using silly pictures than words, which leads us to our newest THUMP Short: Picture Me This.This year at TBD Fest in Sacramento, California, we ran around the festival grounds armed with only a dry erase board and marker, harassing festival kids, and even huge artists like Cut Copy, ASTR, Wave Racer, and more, to draw their favorite house music sub-genres. Needless to say, shit got real. Check out what happened above.
