# [[Bouyon soca]]: A style of soca music from [[Dominica]]. It uses more prominent elements of [[bouyon music|bouyon]] music.
# [[Rockso]]: A futuristic-sounding, North American/Trinidadian 'mutant' style of calypso, focusing on a wide range of subject matter and 'flows' (delivery), song arrangements, innovative, bass-laden drum patterns, quirky sound effects, elements of 'extempo' (freestyle lyricism), and an urban music sensibility. It differs from groovy soca and rapso, in that it rarely, if ever, incorporates ragga soca or a reggae personality. It instead is characterized as a more modern update to calypso, and highlights the disparate personalities of the performers. Unlike soca, it is not seasonally focused, but is geared for year-round play. Its vernacular reveals its Trinidadian and North American soil.
#[[Groovy soca]]: Created by Robin Imamshah with his composition "Frenchman", this is the name of a growing style focusing on melody in soca, partly due to criticism of soca's ubiquitous 'jump and wave'-only lyrical and musical content. It features sensual vocals over mid-tempo soca rhythms, and very often, elements of [[zouk]] and ragga soca.
 
Soca has also been experimented with in [[Bollywood]] films, [[Bhangra (music)|Bhangra]], and new [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]] pop, as well as [[disco]] music in the United States.
