Trip-Hop is a genre that blends elements of hip-hop with electronic music and experimental sounds. Originating in the early 1990s, it often features slow, atmospheric beats, moody melodies, and a blend of both live and electronic instrumentation. The genre is known for its dark, cinematic soundscapes and incorporation of diverse influences, including funk, soul, and jazz. Trip-Hop creates a downtempo, immersive listening experience, often characterized by its hypnotic grooves and introspective lyrics.
