crunk

Atlanta club sound

Crunk is a style of Southern hip-hop that emerged in the late 1990s, characterized by heavy bass, shouted vocals, and repetitive hooks designed for clubs.

The word blends "crazy" and "drunk" (or "chronic" and "drunk").

As an adjective, crunk describes a state of wild excitement or intoxication: We got crunk at the party.

The term peaked in mainstream usage in the mid-2000s.
