Gym Class Heroes

Funk
FunkRhythm and blues

Gym Class Heroes is a Funk and Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Prince, Red Hot Chili Peppers, LL Cool J, The Presidents of the United States of America and will.i.am. Those roots explain a lot about how Gym Class Heroes arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Cobra Starship, Panic! at the Disco, B.o.B, Flo Rida and Fort Minor, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Styles P, Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is..., Daryl Hall and The-Dream, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 78 connections around Gym Class Heroes, reaching back through Prince and forward to Styles P. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
