grime social context

In what ways does the emergence of Grime reflect the social context? [Urban London]


It is industrial and cold, representing its state. dos shutting and police car was what the rappers where listening to in their everyday life.

they did not care about american music, and tried the best to do their own thing. 
since they come from a violent place their music has violent lyrics. 
as they stopped singing and producing music for eve, their music  style started to change, and the culture started to be left behind. 
- recreation of mainstream nature of garage
- strong personal identification appeal (uses and gratification)
- grime reflected the underground of london
- emerged from disenfranchised youth in East London ( no one cared about no one . government does not care about us)
- pirate radio key element
now he is returning to the roots of grime
- lyrics often revolve around gritty description of urban life
- music described as aggressive
- area= violent
- grime rave were rare, as they were not allowed to be put on by the police
- the rise of grime was tied in the rise of trident in order to combat gang violence.
