Depictions in popular culture Д«udots first appeared in Philippine mainstream media in 2008 when Ruben Gonzaga, the winner of Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Edition 2, performed the dance steps on national TV. In contrast, they also acknowledge how the people of Davao City have reinterpreted a Western music genre and have remolded it to their own liking, as well as the flexibility of budots music in keeping itself relevant by remixing any popular song at the moment. Music journalists in the Philippines have criticized budots music for its lack of form, repetitiveness, DIY quality, and 'cheap-sounding' effects. It also has an element of virality, as its distinct repetitive sound and the craziness of its dance moves serve as the background of a number of Filipino internet memes such as Hala Mahulog! ('Oh no, it's about to fall!') videos and Taga-asa Ka/ Tagasaan Ka ('Where are you from?') challenge.

Unlike most dance music that is commonly played in nightclubs, budots is performed outdoors such as basketball courts. Д«udots is known for its high-pitched whistle hooks, as heard in this sample from Gahi by DJ Eclipse. Meanwhile, the budots tracks that do contain lyrics are written in any of the Bisayan languages. Instead, the energetic beats are held together with cheesy sound effects such as vinyl scratches or chipmunk laughter. Most budots tracks do not have the usual elements that make a pop song such as verses, choruses, and chord progressions. It also bears similarities with Eurodance, but without the melodramatic vocals, over-the-top piano melodies, and expressions of emotional vulnerability in exchange for lewd jokes and calls for rowdy partying. It features 140 bpm four-on-the-floor patterns, pulsating basslines, multiple percussion layers, distorted and repetitive vocal samples, DJ fills placed throughout the track and distinct high-pitched synth hooks that locals onomatopoetically refer to as tiw tiw. Д«udots music is characterized as a derivation from electronic and house music. Note the two 'error blips' at the 46-second mark.

The track was never officially released, as the creator screen-recorded his unrendered project on YouTube. Characteristics ДЄsukarap Choy / Sayaw Mga Choy by DJ Arjay contains three verses of uneven lengths, a single chorus, and two lengthy vocal hooks such as this sample. His music videos are incorporated with captions such as, 'Yes to Dance No to Drugs' or 'Yes to Dance No to Riots.' The genreвЂ“and its creatorsвЂ“have also become at the receiving end of cyberbullying. While local impression about budots is through its association with overt sexuality, gang wars, and juvenile delinquency, DJ Love has distanced himself and his budots mixes from such issues that plague Davao City. According to Vice, the budots dance compilation videos features ' Myspace-era graphics, free-wheeling dances, and the names 'CamusBoyz' or 'DJ Love.'' He also choreographed dance steps for his friends to perform on his budots music videos, which were uploaded on his YouTube channel since February 3, 2009. Д«udots dance was used to be performed with foreign electronic dance music until Sherwin Calumpang Tuna, an internet cafГ© manager who goes by the stage name 'DJ Love' or 'Lablab,' created a new techno music genre that would complement the dance using Fruity Loops, which locals referred to as ' bistik' (short for Bisayang Tikno, 'Visayan techno' ). Writer and musician Dominic Zinampan claims the connection between budots and the Badjao people remains inconclusive, as it is hard to tell which influenced the other. Despite its freestyle movements, the poses in budots dance are possibly inspired by the Badjao people who perform as street buskers, either through variations of the traditional Pangalay dance or their indigenous martial arts such as Kuntaw and Langka Baruwang. One of its characteristic moves features opening and closing the knees while in a low squat, the arms swaying and pointing at random. The style seems 'worm-like' or 'ragdoll-like' in nature, wriggling the hips while moving the arms and legs in slow movements. Д«udots dance has eventually made its way to unemployed bums who loiter Davao City. A budots dancer places his fist on his nose, similar to how 'rugby boys' sniff glue through plastic bags.
