Freestyle music, which emerged in the 1980s as a fusion of Latin, electro, and dance-pop influences, remains popular due to many people who grew up in the ‘80s and ‘90s still love the genre, and events, radio stations, and social media groups keep the music alive. Freestyle’s energetic beats and emotional lyrics make it perfect for clubs, parties, and dancefloors even today. Some current artists incorporate freestyle elements into their music, keeping the sound relevant. Live performances by classic freestyle artists like Stevie B, Lisa Lisa, and Cynthia draw huge crowds. Platforms like YouTube and Spotify have introduced freestyle to younger audiences. Since freestyle was heavily influenced by Latin rhythms, its connection to reggaeton and Latin pop keeps it linked to modern trends.
