sort of garage style UK hiphop, with simple bassy music and
really pissed-off sounding london MCs

grime = uk crunk rap

i like some of it, but i am more into dubstep and
instrumental grime. some of the vocals are annoying as shit.

is grime just dubstep with lyrics? why not call them the
same thing if so

Exactly! It's getting to the point now where they'll
probably come up with different genre names for songs with
different melodies.

we should make up a different genre name for each individual
artist. then theres no way you can get confused

It's true Grime generally has lyrics, whereas dubstep
generally doesn't. I wouldn't say (although a lot would
disagree with me) however, that that is the only
distinction. I think Dubstep has more of a fixation with sub
sounds and generally more sparse drum patterns and a slower
sound overall (although the tempo is the same, it sounds
more plodding). I think there are a few "dubstep"
artists/tracks that are nearer to grime in sound (even
though they don't have vocals). For example I think a lot of
MRK1's instrumental tracks are quite Grimey in composition,
as are Iron Soul's (although his Kromestar alias stuff is
more dubstep).

As somejerk says, I think Grime has some elements of crunk
in it (machine gun hi hats and claps in some tracks, plus
the drum sounds themselves are quite crunky). I'd say most
dubstep lacks this (not that that's a bad thing).

I agree with that. I still like grime better.
