From Wikipedia

Popcorn is a subgenre of dance music that originated in Romania in the late 2000s. It is inspired by Europop and dance-pop, featuring house and trance rhythms as well as fast tempos. The arrangement is characterized by the use of syncopated synthesizers played in staccato and brass. Instruments such as accordions were eventually also included in several popcorn songs, which were most commonly performed in English.
