Micro-music Genre - Links to the origins

The only information I can find on fidget house of in the previous article that I had read from the Guardian, and multiple platforms which charts between artist premiered on other genres I could, in particular, find any more information about the origins of fidget house. The only comments on fidget house made in other places are Wikipedia in which it is described as vocal snippets pitch bent dirty bass lines and freestyle synth stabs over glitchy 4x4 beats.
The term fidget house was coined by DJ/producers Jesse Rose and switch, "as a joke, which is now gone a little too far" indicating why there is an much information about the genre itself. The genre has technically been made out of two DJs which deem themselves as part of that. Therefore other DJs try to hop on and make themselves different and exclusive sub-genre in themselves from the main electro house genre, thus making them stand out more.

Is it possible for the data stand out in a genre that doesn't particularly exist?

Rather than considering the history and origins of something which doesn't actually exist and was created by two DJs, I've decided to look into the history of the house itself and the subgenre of the electric house. My brief will still be based on the idea of fidget house, as I kind of enjoy the investigation into something that doesn't particularly exist but is emerging as something now because of how much it has been spoken about within the industry.

House itself started on Chicago's Southside in 1977. In a club titled the warehouse house music got its name the DJ Frankie knuckles who open the warehouse mixed old classics with new Euro beat pop. The club became legendary where many of the experiments were tried, it was also where acid house began.
House was the first direct descendant of disco in comparison to disco house was deeper and warmer and more designed make people dance. Although house music originated in America it was not based on an American style of music. The music it was mixed with came from European pop hits.

The roots of house music:

House music was created by African-American community, musically house music evolved in Chicago and New York from African-American music traditions like gospel, soul, jazz and funk as well as Latin salsa. Spiritually and aesthetically, it developed in the US hours the need of oppressed people to build a community through dance. Later in the UK out of the need of young people dissatisfied with the meaningless materialism of Thatcher's England, to build an alternative community of music and dance house music and acid house was taken to the streets. House music was perceived as negative by many although its aim was to unify people of all races, backgrounds and sexual orientations. According to Frankie knuckles, many people could not and still cannot deal with the fact that house music started in gay clubs and other alternative venues.

Has music came to England in the late 80s via party island of Ibiza. In 1986 three house records appeared in the top 10. It is said music was popularised by British you invented acid house and then brought this modified version of house back to the United States.
