Music genre, 'ouse arising (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

emo

'music genre' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

''ouse arising' is the wordplay.
''ouse' becomes ''ome' ('home' - homing is a kind of housing - said with a cockney accent, dropping the 'H', like 'house' was).
'arising' says the letters should be written backwards.
'ome' written backwards gives 'EMO'.

(Other definitions for emo that I've seen before include "Town and Court in Laois" , "music?" , "Serious type of rock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
