Band Members: New Orleans became a hotbed for funk music in the 60s and 70s. By the late 1980s it had developed its own localized variant of hip hop called bounce music which, while never commercially successful outside of the Deep South, remained immensely popular in the poor African-American neighborhoods of the city through the 1990s. A cousin of Bounce, New Orleans Rap has seen commercial success locally and internationally.

Also, a form of southern rock or cowpunk has become popular across college campuses throughout the United States. New Orleans bands which helped originate this wave include The Radiators, Better Than Ezra, Cowboy Mouth, and Dash Rip Rock.
Cowboy MouthNotable members of the New Orleans music scene are Lil Wayne, Master P, Cash Money Records, No Limit Records, Djuan Edgerton, and Rickey Spearman.Heavy Metal in New Orleans has avoided the standardisation of the style by MTV and other Media. Bands like Eyehategod, Soilent Green, Crowbar and Acid Bath have incorporated styles such as Country, Dixie Rock, Punk and NWOBHM to create an original and heady brew of swampy and aggravated Metal.
