Popcorn is a subgenre of dance music that originated in Romania in the late 2000s. It is inspired by Europop and dance-pop, featuring house and trance rhythms and fast tempos. The arrangement is characterized by the use of syncopated synthesizers played in staccato, and brass.[1] Instruments such as accordions were eventually also included in several popcorn songs, which were most commonly performed in English.[1][2]
