Budots is a Filipino electronic dance style that grew out of street dance culture in the Philippines, where DJs mixed fast, repetitive beats for dancers in public squares and parties. The sound travelled online through dance videos and short-form clips, with dancers using its bouncy rhythm for comedic and high-energy performances. Its simple, infectious loop made it easy to reuse in memes and edits, and it remains popular because the beat instantly signals fun, chaos and a dance party.
