I would say the opposite, most "good" house music, or house that is considered tasteful, doesn't have lyrics. It may have some voice samples, but nothing too distracting. There are obviously many exceptions to this rule, but you can generally consider most house music to be instrumental.
- HKH2 4y ago> most "good" house music, or house that is considered tasteful, doesn't have lyrics. I agree. > but you can generally consider most house music to be instrumental. If an instrumental is music without words at all (not even in voice samples), as far as I've experienced, Techno instrumentals are far more common; House instrumentals have always seemed somewhat rare.
- evanelias 4y agoI've been a house head since the 90s, and I would definitely not describe most house music as instrumental. Classic house frequently had vocals, in both the Chicago and especially NYC/NJ (garage house) styles. Most subsequent subgenres of house followed suit, whether using vocal samples or singing. Instrumentals are a bit more common in melodic house, progressive house, etc but even then there's still a lot of non-instrumental tracks. I completely agree with the sibling comment that instrumentals are far more common in techno.
