don't be a spazmo - AFX isn't always drill'n'bass, but if someone didn't like drill'n'bass you would say "listen to aphex twin then!" so they would hear some quality! all the DJ KRUSH i've ever heard (i have 4CDs and several mp3s has been trip hop)

i like (some) trip hop, thought the term seems to be largely abused - and ambiguous, either that or i only like a small portion of trip hop!
dj krush is quite nice, though it can get a bit boring .. splitrmx by autechre i would consider some wicked trip hop (perhaps more down beat) ?

he's pretty good..a lot of range in his stuff..that's why I find it hard to tag him..some stuff is almost drill..but mostly downbeat..illbient..I guess trip hop without vocals and pop appeal is illbient..am I about right?

so many things get lumped in as trip hop...how can you compare dj shadow to coldcut? ooh, they both use downtempo breaks so they've got to be the same...

sounds good, fleamarket! i will check him out! :)
yeah trip hop is becoming too vague b3n, you're right -- but there are new terms springing up all over the place - i like the term illbient for instance - i know a lot of people think of a piano melody over some running water when the term AMBIENT is used :D

ILLBiENT, as far i understand it, is dark ambient, with an edgy suspenseful, terror-filled feel to it -- well probably the definition is a little more lax than that

Their lataest album 'the magnificent tree' is the best they have done so far.
(because they have a new singer?)
It is worth checking.

You know, I read the thread title and got kinda pissed, and went in to rebut, and then noticed that it said "I don't like trip-hop", not "I don't like Hip-Hop".
Trip-hop may seem boring to you, cause it is boring.

I personnally hate the term Trip hop used to classify music into a genre. There a very few bands/musicians that i would classify trip hop. The only person i can think of that fits trip hop is Beck. Trip hop is like a band with a singer/emcee, and DJ that doesnt want to be classified as RAP/HIPHOP, or for songs that are a wierd bpms like 108 bmp.
Ambient - Usually no drums or specific BPM.
Down Tempo - 60-85 BPM. Slow hip hop and certain styles of house can be classified downtempo.
Hip hop/rap- 85-99 bpm.
House/Trance-120-140 BPM Drum & Bass/Jungle- 160-180 BMP
Drill & Bass 180-200+ bpm
Experimental- 0-200+ bpm. Using uncoventional sounds. Doing something with sound that has never been done before etc.
Dj KRUSH, Dj Shadow- Hip hop
Portishead- downtempo hiphop, organic electronic.
Massive Attack- downtempo, hiphop, electronica.
Radio head- downtempo, electronica.
Funki Porcini- downtempo. Hip hop. Drum&bass, depending on the track.

but then again labels like ninja tunes go out of their way blanket labeling everything they have got as trip hop when a lot of it so obviously isn't..Coldcut for one..and Funki Porcini..though I did find it surprising that while so many were singing the IDM virtues of Amon Tobin and Cujo..I found a lot of it to be nothing more than beefed up trip hop..

I think some of you are missing the point. The genre is just so other people know vaguely what you are talking about. there are no definite boundries 'oh that tracks below 100bpm and has breaks must be trip hop'
I personally regard shadow as instrumental hip hop, as I do Nightmares on wax (later stuff) and see trip hop as the more playful stuff generally like coldcut, but it really doesn't matter.
and taxidermist...trip hop isn't boring, that's a stupid thing to say IMO

as far as I can remember, it was mixmag who coined the trip hop term for describing massive attack's music.
in my opinion it's just another way of saying downtempo hip hop.

I was being ironic..but I also laid out some fact..I think the problem with trip hop is that it became too big too quick got massively overexposed got entagled into the merciless maw of the flavour of the week..got chewed up spat out and stripped of any credibility..all a bit sad...because stuff by the likes of Portishead and Tricky is still kinda tasty..Massive Attack and Mezzanine killed it for me..and the Mad Professor guy..he blows..

right on, that list of definitions is silly because genres are very loose, overlapping, prone to change and a bit subjective.
how is this contro-j character? i have 'mighty mouse calls a bluff' and it's a nice tune.

yep everything that was hip hop but was not about gangs and hos and had prominent fem vox (back then it was rarer)..with a laid back jazzy swing to it became trip hop..and I mean everything..it became the domain of the hacks..

I agree, trying to label music is difficult and the genre name doesnt mean anything. Its the artist and their track, if its sounds good who cares how you would classify it. Just like it.
There are exeptions to everything. It depends, but i do think tempo has a lot to do with how you classify into a genre. Name a hip hop beat that isnt within 80-110 bpm ? Name a Jungle track thats slower than 100 bpm ? Some genres are defined by tempo and some arent.
I still think the name trip hop is lame.
