Cheese (cheesy music)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cheese as a musical genre has evolved from the Northern slang usage of the word to mean kitsch. Similarly, Cheese (sometimes 'cheesy music') has become a useful byword or 'catch all' expression for a number of popular musical genres that are usually enjoyed with an ironic knowing.

Genres that will be looked upon as 'Cheese' are normally the most popular and may include records from the following:

• 1970s disco
• 1980s pop (from Stock Aitken Waterman)
• Commercial pop dance (for example, a lot of the output of AATW Records and Media Records could be viewed as this)
• Novelty records
