Etymology
The term 'gig' originally emerged in the early 20th century, deriving from the jazz and symphonic music scenes. It was initially used to describe a musician's job or performance engagement, particularly in the context of casual or smaller venues, as opposed to larger concerts. Over time, the term gained popularity and became widely synonymous with any musical performance, informal or formal. The word 'gig' itself is believed to have roots in the slang of jazz musicians, where it represented a short-term job or engagement. This shift in connotation reflects the transient nature of many musicians' careers, often moving from one performance to the next. As the music industry evolved, so did the meaning of gigging, extending to various genres and styles, ultimately encompassing the entire live performance culture.
