Why have white middle class kids turned grime from one of the most exciting genres in the UK into a living meme? Can't they just be happy listening to Oasis and Arctic Monkeys?
Some of them weren't even born when the genre was at it's best, yet they're acting like it's a new music revolution because the NME decided it's now cool to like black music.

Grime was always shit.

Is that Patrick Warburton saying "L" over and over?
As a white middle class guy, grime is one of those genres that are only enjoyable for me when the artists are somewhat self-aware & don't take themselves too seriously. I feel guilty for liking trash like Bizzle & Stormzy but something about semi-ironically putting on a trashy personality & playing trashy music for a bit of a laugh is really fun-in-spoiler-tags. Same goes for when metal bands like GWAR/SYL do it. I have shit taste though but there you go
