Grime

Grime is a genre of electronic music originating in the United Kingdom in the early 2000s. It is a fusion of UK garage, jungle, drum and bass, and hip hop, characterized by its dark, bass-heavy sound, and sparse, syncopated drum patterns. It was initially popularized by MCs in London who used the pirate radio airwaves to spread their music. In the 2000s, grime grew in popularity and eventually gained mainstream success in the UK and beyond. In the 2010s, grime experienced a revival and is now seen as an influential genre of music.
