i was listening to portishead and one of my classmates asked what genre it was. i said triphop and we actually started to argue about this, cos his idea of triphop was something totally else. so what the hell is triphop then? i know its a vague term but i can't imagine anything more trippy-hoppy than portishead. |

i know that site but it really does not explain imo |

Think of stuff like funki porcini, portishead, some massive attack etc. I don't know the definition, but I'd say repetative, slow(ish) chilled out hip hop with more laid back vocals than normal rapping etc. I know that's a crap definition, but it's the best I can come up with at the end of a long day after 5 1/2 hours sleep... |

yeah trip hop is also a mystery to me. A few months ago I went to a local record store and bought BOC - MHTRTC. At first I couldn't find this record, turns out it was categorised as trip hop (???) I know bands like portishead, air and massive attack are usually called trip hop. But BOC?! What the hell! |

i think it has to have some jazz, elements to it i would call it IHH; inteligent hip hop |
||||||||

|
|
Yeah, good point- there often seems to be jazz elements to it... |

you know, aphex twin, photek and squarepusher are in the trip-hop section at the local virgin... so... ' _ ' |

hahaha Photek triphop?! hahaha, that's hilarious. |

HMM that truly is strange. but BOC was something my classmate (who said portishead ISN'T trip hop) would catecorize under the term. i know genres are silly but they are a good way to explain music. and air is generally called about anything from progressive rock via synth pop to trip hop (and that is great). there was actually a headline in a finnish progrock magazine: "AIR - if this is not progressive rock then what is?" |

Air is a great example of lounge/trip hop imo. |

aphex, squarephusher etc all in the dance section in my local virgin.... but thats enough about my girlfriend. har har har. i thought the term 'trip-hop' came from a reviewer in a magazine trying to describe portishead. but i could be wrong. |

lots of bands have jazz into them now..portishead and tricky were the pioneres and used samples then bands i see it as 50's music turned electronic |
||||||||
|

|
|
...say that to an air fan who is into progrock :) personally i'd put it to trip hop too. |

Trip-Hop: Yet another in a long line of plastic placeholders to attach itself to one arm or another of the U.K. post-acid house dance scene's rapidly mutating experimental underground, Trip-Hop was coined by the English music press in an attempt to characterize a new style of downtempo, jazz-, funk-, and soul-inflected experimental breakbeat music which began to emerge around in 1993 in association with labels such as Mo'Wax, Ninja Tune, Cup of Tea, and Wall of Sound. Similar to (though largely vocal-less) American hip-hop in its use of sampled drum breaks, typically more experimental, and infused with a high index of ambient-leaning and apparently psychotropic atmospherics (hence "trip"), the term quickly caught on to describe everything from Portishead and Tricky, to DJ Shadow and U.N.K.L.E., to Coldcut, Wagon Christ, and Depth Charge -- much to the chagrin of many of these musicians, who saw their music largely as an extension of hip-hop proper, not a gimmicky offshoot. One of the first commercially significant hybrids of dance-based listening music to crossover to a more mainstream audience, trip-hop full-length releases routinely topped indie charts in the U.K. and, in artists such as Shadow, Tricky, Morcheeba, the Sneaker Pimps, and Massive Attack, account for a substantial portion of the first wave of "electronica" acts to reach Stateside audiences. -- AMG do what you want with this... |

Trip-hop grew out of Bristol- Portishead & Massive Attack. Keep it local! :) |

mixmag claims to have coined the trip-hop term when reviewing some portishead release. imo, what most people call trip-hop is just music with slow and dubby hip-hop beats, so it's just a form of hip-hop. boc makes hip-hop (don't let the fact that pdiddy isn't rapping on their records confuse you). |

When I think to trip pop I think to Massive Attack. But also Portishead, Tricky, etc... |
||||||||
|
|

morcheeba are considered trip hop but imo its music that feels great if you get stoned-if the music itself doesnt :) |

Just like to say massive attack(the best!)started trip-hop. Remember Unfinished Sympthany? Tricky was an ex-Massive Attack vocalist,Mushroom. Tricky also shares the same album name as the Sugarbabes,angles with dirty faces. Don't get me started with massive attack.I will flood these pages with useless and of-topic,random facts.... |

you're really confused with mushroom and tricky situation aint ya? check that out and start posting about massive attack then :) and mushroom definitely isn't vocalist |
