Epadunk, epa-dunk[1] or raggardunk[2][3] is a genre of music, often electronic, that has been associated with Шаблон:Ill and Шаблон:Ill in Sweden since the early 2020s.
The lyrics often focus on themes like alcohol, sex and driving A-tractors (a car modified to have a low maximum speed that can be driven from 15 years of age and which is often associated with rural Sweden).[4] The genre achieved significant commercial success in Sweden in 2022, with several songs among the most streamed on streaming services.[4] The musical style can be viewed as part of a wider lifestyle and culture where young people driving EPA-tractors/A-tractors want to show off their vehicles with accompanying sound systems.[4][5] In addition to electronic party music (including 1990s Eurodance), song by artists such as Eddie Meduza and Lasse Stefanz have also been heard blaring from these vehicles.[6][7]
Epadunk has been described as a cross between electronic dance music (EDM) and könsrock, a Swedish term for a type of Swedish rock music characterized by humoristic and irreverent lyrics that often include sexually explicit lyrics, toilet humor and positive descriptions of alcohol consumption and drunknness.[11] Among the precursors and sources of inspiration for the genre are the Norwegian genre russemusikk[4] as well as the so-called "fjortisdunk" (a derogatory Swedish term used to describe the dance music commonly listened to by young people) from the first decade of the 2000s with artists like Basshunter.[2][12]Dansband and hiphop music have also been cited as sources of inspiration.[4]
