Grime
Grime is a high-energy electronic genre originating from East London, characterized by syncopated, off-kilter beats at 140 BPM, deep sub-bass, and sparse, minimalist production. It features aggressive, rapid-fire MCing with dense, street-smart lyricism delivered in British English slang.
Origin: East London, UK, emerging from UK garage, pirate radio culture, and dancehall influences.
Era: Early 2000s to present, with a peak in the mid-2000s.
