Bhangra music originated in the 1980s as Punjabi immigrants in Britain experimented with folk music from their home country, combining it with instruments from their new host country. This new genre quickly became popular in Britain as it was influenced by rock music and moved away from simple Punjabi folk. Bhangra is typically performed in clubs or small rooms with many people dancing, even for songs about breakups. Locations for bhangra performances are usually next to a bar or DJ. For their coursework, students chose a dance song but could not afford an actual club setting, so they will perform it in their school's drama studio decorated to resemble a dancehall with flashing lights and props.

2. Bhangra music was invented in the 1980s by Punjabi
immigrants who took the folk sound of their home country and
began experimenting by altering it using instruments from
their host country. In a sense Bhangra music is one of the few
immigrant music genres of the world in that it is absent in the
home country. The new genre quickly became popular in
Britain replacing Punjabi folk singers due to it being heavily
influenced in Britain by the infusion of rock sounds and a
need to move away from the simple and repetitive Punjabi
folk music. It signaled the development of a self-conscious
and distinctively rebellious.
