Dolly's Interlude

when i was working on some of my own songs inspired by this kinda music, i was scrolling through my yamaha DJX, which has loops in a bunch of different styles (detroit techno, acid house, jungle, drum n bass, etc.) and i stumbled on "handbag" and i was like wtf is handbag??  

so i googled it and read that "handbag house" was an alternate term for diva house/commercial house that developed in the UK and mockingly referred to how women at the clubs would dance in a circle around their handbags. naturally men were bothered by women acting in community to protect their belongings (and probably their bodies too) and also by the unapologetically commercial, accessible, poppiness of the music, which often had female vocals and was embraced by many gay clubs.  it was a term men used to shit on women, GNC femmes, queer men...and so let's take it back!! bc 1. this music is sick and 2. no one should ever apologize for being femme and over the top or for wanting to stay safe at the club and 3. what an amazing cunty genre name lol

#handbaghouse is unapologetically:
-femme
-over the top
-poppy/accessible
-LIT
