1990: A Space Trip hop

Trip hop is a kind of music which consists of down tempo electronic music. It was first originated in UK especially in Briston, It is one of the most famous cities in South West England and also its England's sixth and the United Kingdom's eighth most populous city.The city is famous for its music and film industries, and was a finalist for the 2008 European Capital of Culture. Since the late 1970s, the city has been home to bands combining  punk, funk, dub and political consciousness. Some famous Trip hop bands such as Tricky, Portishead, and Massive Attack are from Bristol.
The term "Trip hop" was first used by the British music media and press as a way to describe the more experimental variant of break beat which contained influences of soul, funk, and jazz. According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, this term was first used in 1989. Also Encyclopedia Britannica Online claims that the term was coined by Mixmag, a British magazine specializing in dance music. This magazine described  this kind of new genre in music as "Europe's alternative choice in the second half of the '90s", and "a fusion of hip hop and electronica until neither genre is recognizable."
Trip hop mixes many styles and has much in common with other genres for example it has several qualities similar to ambient music which is a drum-based breakdowns share characteristics with hip hop from United States. Other elements that it has contains the elements of house, dance and dub reggae.


Most of the Trip hop music that was made usually followed the idea of the slow tempo and hypnotic sound created by an electronic background and prominent string instruments. It is characterized by beat-driven music which, although its is instrumentally similar to hip hop, it varies much in style. Trip hop is characterized by a generally deep, atmospheric sound, and its influences vary, ranging from R&B and urban, to rock and jazz-styled recordings. Trip hop is often characterized by low-key productions, vocals being absent or sparse even though this is not the case for all Trip hop music and it can be highly experimental in nature.


It rose in the 1990s and not only in its native country, United Kingdom, but across the world as well.
Several Trip hop artists and bands, such as Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead and Morcheeba have received attention and chart success. Both on mainstream national charts and on the more dance and indie-based ones. Several outstanding artists and groups such as Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Björk, and Radiohead have used Trip hop in their music.
Trip hop also has several sub genres which have evolved over ages including Trip rock, which is a mix between Trip hop and Rock music, as well as Illbient, which is a dub based Trip hop with influences of ambient and industrial hip hop, all part of a post Trip hop which includes a wider range of styles and influences.

Massive Attack released their first album Blue Lines in 1991 and it was a huge success in the UK. Blue Lines was seen widely as the first major manifestation of a unequally British hip hop but the album's hit single "Unfinished Sympathy" and many other tracks were not seen as hip hop songs in any way.Shara Nelson, n R%B singer, featured on the orchestral "Unfinished" and Jamaican dance hall star Horace Andy provided vocals on several other tracks and also throughout Massive Attack's career.
They released their second album entitled Protection in 1994 and it was seen as an even more significant shift away from the Wild Bunch era.


Trip hop was near the peak of its popularity in 1994 and 1995 with artists such as Howie B and Naked Funk making significant contributions. DJ Shadow with the album "In/Flux" showed its mixed up bpms, spoken word samples, strings, melodies, bizarre noises, prominent bass, and slow beats, to the listeners.
Soon Massive Attack's dubby, jazzy, psychedelic, electronic textures, rooted in hip hop sampling technique but also it was used many other styles.

In 1994 Portishead released their debut album, Dummy. Beth Gibbons as one of the three members of the group led the singing also Portishead included sonic manipulators Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley. Their background was different that Massive Attach's in many ways for example one of Portishead's primary influence was 1960s and 70s film soundtrack LPs. Nevertheless, Portishead shared the scratchy, jazz based aesthetic of early Massive Attack and fragile vocals of Gibbons also brought them wide acknowledgement. In 1995 the album Dummy was awarded the Mercury Music Prize as the best British album of the year, giving Trip hop as a genre its greatest exposure yet.


We believe that Trip Hop won't have that much of an influence on the future.  Our reasoning would be that it is somewhat a subgenre.  A subgenre is a genre formed from another major music genre.  Even though bands like Bjork and Portishead are classified as trip-hop, not many listeners tune into it.  A genre originated in the early 20th century, Modernism , suffered the same fate that we think trip hop will suffer. Modernism is a type of music that is characterized by a desire for progress and innovation. It is dominated by a belief in science and technology but in music, this term refers into the significant seperation in musical language that happened at around the beginning of the 20th century. It created new understandings of harmonic, melodic, rhythmic, and texture aspects of music. But not many people liked this change, as it was too quick and extreme.
