* '''Big Room House''' - Electro house that features sparse 4/4 beats played at a moderate tempo, high-pitched synths akin to Dutch and progressive house, long, drawn out buildups, and a distinctive, minimalistic drop where all instrumentation is reduced to a pulsing beat (often acid or hoover) and short synth stabs. Notable for abusing the BoleroEffect and for the (perceived) similarity in composition, especially in the drops. It is a divisive genre within electro house, frequently panned by music critics as oversaturated and lacking in originality (so much as to prompt a certain Swedish EDM duo, Daleri, to create a parody mashup of Beatport's top 15 big room tracks) and at the same time, loved by a good portion of the EDM community who thinks that [[ThreeChordsAndTheTruth the simplicity of the genre is its main appeal]]. Notable artists include Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, DVBBS, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, W&W, Ummet Ozcan, and Showtek. The record label, Spinnin' Records, primarily caters to big room artists.

* BoleroEffect: As with regular HouseMusic, however it is much more pronounced in electro house, with simplistic beats ultimately building up to titanic drops, and is pretty much ''the norm'' in big room house, though usually the drops that follow invert the phenomenon.
