Trip Hop

Trip hop is a music genre that blends elements of hip hop, electronic music, and downtempo, often characterized by its moody, atmospheric sound. Emerging in the early 1990s in cities like Bristol, England, it features slow, heavy beats, melodic bass lines, and samples from various genres. Artists like Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky are notable figures in this genre. Trip hop often incorporates introspective lyrics and a sense of melancholy, creating a dreamy yet sometimes dark listening experience. Its influence can be seen in various modern music styles, making it a significant part of contemporary music culture.
