Trip-Hop is a music genre that emerged in the early '90s, combining elements of electronic music, hip hop, and psychedelia. It is characterized by its atmospheric and often dark sense of sound, low-tempo beats, and melodic lines. Artists of the genre often experiment with different textures and sounds, creating multi-layered compositions. Significant representatives are Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky, who have left an indelible mark on the music industry.
