 A

  It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music genre was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.

  To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture,  it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart,  until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and JHus led this year’s Mobo— “music of black origin”—award nominations (提名) in the UK.

  Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop,  from which grime drew influence,  it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop,  grime singers sing in dialects(方言) with strong accents,  giving a special flavor to their songs.

  Lady Leshurr,  known as the“Grime Queen” said that she once tried to hide her accent,  as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day,  she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music:  be yourself.

  Also different from the hip-hop culture,  which usually focuses on being rich,  grime singers pay more attention to social matters like the European refugee(难民) problem and the gap between the rich and the poor.

  Although still quite young,  grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016,  the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa,  beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However,  no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not,  one thing is for sure:  in grime,  singers always stay true to themselves.
