Skiladiko (or Skyladiko; Greek: Σκυλάδικο, "doghouse") is either a derogatory term to describe laiko or a so-called "decadent" (Greek: παρακμιακό) form of laiko, a category of popular songs with a heavy Middle Eastern influence.
The term is also used to describe the places in which this type of music is performed. The term derives from "skylos" (σκύλος), dog and "Skyladiko" means a doghouse or a kennel, a term that referred to cheap or often unlicensed night clubs with a bad reputation on the borders of the city or town.
The term gradually became popular and is frequently used by Greek non-listeners of forms of modern bouzouki-dominated music that dismiss these types of music as oriental, under-class, and of non-existent artistic value.
