Description
Freestyle is an electronic dance music genre that emerged from Latin communities in 1980s New York, featuring synth-heavy beats, drum machines, and emotionally charged vocals about love and heartbreak. The sound blends disco, electro, and Latin influences with catchy hooks and romantic lyrics. Its cultural impact was strongest in urban Latino and Italian-American neighborhoods.
