Garage house (originally known as "garage";[2] local terms include "New York house"[3] and New Jersey sound) is a dance music style[4] that was developed alongside Chicago house music.[5] The genre was popular in the 1980s in the United States and the 1990s in the United Kingdom, where it developed into UK garage and speed garage.[6]
