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.
The fact you're posting about it on Sup Forums means you're part of the problem, faggot Why would you care about grime outside of select releases from Dizzee, Ghetts & Wiley anyway? Grime is inherently subpar.
I've only heard good hip hop from 4 countries: the US, Canada, Chile, and Ireland. The UK should stop, if they had it in them they would've figured out how to do it by now.
I personally feel privileged to be old enough to remember when most grime was cringeworthy, low-budget shit you saw on one particular music channel. The irony of it being gentrified by 14-year-old girls from Kent is hilarious.

my god... 'boy in da corner' was nearly 15 years ago..
besides, a complaint about 1 scene applies to anything once social media is thrown into the mix...nothing is exclusive

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

Grime has always been nothing but aggy shite even since back in the days of Sidewinder and CHAMPAGNE BUBBLEE.
I was about at the very start, I hated it then, I still hate it now.

Yes. White people ruined everything. Now everyone sit in your little fucking corner and never venture out and never learn anything and be content staring into up your butt. Fucking faggot.
Grayson Gonzalez
yes... yes it is

sit down
allow Asa & Sorrow to rectify your broken eardrums
I'm all for building bridges between races and all that shit, but when you see a middle class white girl suddenly start dressing and talking like she's road, there's something utterly cringeworthy about it.
Just like how it's cringeworthy to see middle class white kids wearing Adidas and talking like Liam Gallagher because they listened to The Courteeners for the first time.

Grime was never good, buckaroo.
The entire genre has only ever produced three decent tunes.

David Davis
Pls give examples of good Irish Hip-Hop, I'm from Ireland and never heard any good Irish Hip-Hop
Jeremiah Flores
The whitest thing is actually believing that grime hasn't been as successful as you might have liked for any reason other than the fact that 99.9% of it is really, unlistenably bad
