Analysis Of My Genre

Grime

In my project, I have decided to pick Grime music and this genre of music materialised in the ear;y 2000's. This genre is a wide range of a different mixture of music which includes drum and bass, UK garage and dance hall. Grime all started on Pirate radio stations in the UK such as Rinse FM, Deja Vu FM, Freeze 92.7 and Raw Mission. Since this genre began, it has grown very dramatically and it can now be accessed on many different online websites, and it also gets played on many radio stations.

The main artists which are associated with Grime music are: Skepta, JME, Stormzy, Bugzy Malone, Mo stack, Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, Giggs and Tempa T. 

Most Grime music is presented through the main artist giving direct content to his audience by singing directly into the camera. This is also normally all set up within one place when they are performing and they normally have their friends also known as "road men", behind them when performing. Most of the time the music produced comes across quite violently and the lighting of it is normally quite dark.

Representing of grime music has changed slightly over the years. In the past people would refer grime to a lot of youths which were deeply involved in violence. However, there has been a dramatic change of grime music due to it changing into more mainstream music.

The lyrics associated with this genre usually links to violence or the troubles of their lives. So these lyrics normally engage people which have had a similar lifestyle to them. However, a lot of artists now change their music slightly so it can appeal to a wider audience.

The costume within this genre is usually low-end street end clothing or a tracksuit.
