Trip hop

Trip hop is a musical genre that originated in the late 1980s in the United Kingdom, especially Bristol.[3] It has been described as a psychedelic fusion of hip hop and electronica with slow tempos and an atmospheric sound,[4][5][6] often incorporating elements of jazz, soul, funk, reggae, dub, R&B, and other genres, typically of electronic music, as well as sampling from movie soundtracks and other eclectic sources.[7]

The style emerged as a more experimental variant of breakbeat from the Bristol sound scene of the late 1980s and early 1990s,[8] incorporating influences from jazz, soul, funk, dub, and rap music.[9] It was pioneered by acts like Massive Attack, Tricky, and Portishead.[10] The term was first coined in a 1994 Mixmag piece about American producer DJ Shadow.[11] Trip hop achieved commercial success in the 1990s, and has been described as "Europe's alternative choice in the second half of the '90s".[8]
