Grime music

Grime is a genre or urban music which first emerged in Bow, East London in the early 2000's, primarily a development of UK Garage, dancehall and Hip-Hop.



Grime is a popular with youths, particularly in London. It is made up of mostly young black males, who MC about issues and events in youth culture, for example violence, partying and relationships. It represents underground London, but gets negative press commenting on how the industry contributes to gang culture and crime.



Generated popularity for grime is generated on sites such as MySpace, where amateur and professional MC's can upload music for other people to listen to.
