Conventions of Genre: Trip Hop

Trip Hop is a genre of electronic music that originated in early 1990's England after stemming from Acid House music. With influences of Soul, Funk, Jazz, R&B, Dubstep and House music, Trip Hop music can be extremely experimental especially as the 'Trip' element is drug related and often music created under this genre attempts to recreate the feeling one is under the influence of drugs, colloquially known as 'on a trip' through the use of the lyrics, beat and tempo.

Known for it's melancholy sound, this genre tends to be female dominant.
