Why is "house" music called that? Can't I play it in my car?

Answer 1

Wikipedia did more than help that last guy?

Origins of the name
There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the origins of house music. Some claim that the term "house" derived from the Warehouse District in Chicago. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, underground warehouse parties became popular among the teenagers living in the area. One of these underground spots, attended primarily by gay black men, became known as "The Warehouse". The resident DJ at The Warehouse, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco, European synthpop, new wave, industrial and punk recordings. Club regulars referred to his mixes as house music.

Others, including Larry Heard, aka "Mr. Fingers," claim that the term "house" reflected the fact that many early DJ's created music in their own homes, using simple equipment such as synthesizers and drum machines, including the Roland TR-808, TR-909 and the TB 303 "Bassline". These machines became known as the "Acid Machines," and were used to create the "Acid House" sound.

Finally, it has been argued that Chip E., in his early recording "It's House" defined this new form of electronic music. However, Chip E. himself claims the name came from methods of labelling records at the Imports Etc record store, where he worked at in the early 1980s. Music that DJ Knuckles played at the Warehouse nightclub was labelled "As Heard At The Warehouse", which was shortened to simply "The House".

Answer 2

House, Freestyle or Latin Freestyle, also called Latin Hip Hop in its early years, is a form of electronic music that is heavily influenced by Hispanic (mostly Puerto Rican) and African-American culture. Performers such as Lisa Lisa, Marc Anthony, La India, Jellybean Benitez are direct products of this movement. Freestyle was originated as a dance in the urban scene of New York by the late 70's. The name "free Style" emerged as a result of the free style of dancing. The electronic music tied to free style emerged in the early 80's. It continues to be produced today and enjoys some degree of popularity, especially in urban Latino population centers. Another popular modern genre, Florida breaks, evolved from this sound.The music first developed primarily in - New York and Miami in the mid-1980s. It eventually grew to other cities with a Hispanic population which include Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Union City, NJ and Los Angeles. Initially, it was a fusion of the vocal styles found in 1970s disco music with the syncopated, synthetic instrumentation of 1980s electro, as favored by fans of breakdancing. It was also influenced by sampling, as found in hip hop music. In the 1990s, the electro and hip hop influences were supplanted by house music. Freestyle music based on house rather than electro is sometimes referred to as Freestyle-House.
