Background
Epadunk har beskrivits som en korsning mellan electronic dance music (EDM) och könsrock (a term for a type of Swedish rock with sexually explicit lyrics among other themes).[11] Among the precursors and sources of inspiration for the genre are the Norwegian genre russemusik[4] as well as the so-called "fjortisdunk" (derogatory term for the music young people listen to) from the first decade of the 2000s with artists like Basshunter.[2][12] Även Dance band music (dansbandsmusik) and hiphop have also been cited as sources of inspiration.[4]
