The "swing revival" refers to a musical movement that began in the late 1990s, bringing back the energetic and lively style of swing music from the 1930s and 1940s. This revival was characterized by big bands, brass instruments, and a strong emphasis on rhythm, encouraging people to dance. During this period, bands like Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy gained popularity, blending traditional swing with modern influences. Swing dance styles, such as Lindy Hop and East Coast Swing, also saw a resurgence, with dance clubs and events celebrating this vibrant culture.
