Charva

Charva is a subgenre of UK garage that emerged in the late 2010s, characterized by its dark, heavy sound and often introspective lyrics. Defined by its prominent use of trap-influenced 808 drums, eerie synths, and melodic hooks, charva draws from UK garage's rhythmic energy and grime's sonic experimentation. Originating in the UK's underground club scene, charva gained popularity around 2020, particularly among younger generations. Culturally, charva reflects the genre's DIY ethos and the struggles of British working-class youth. Its unique blend of melancholic atmospheres and infectious beats sets it apart from other UK garage subgenres, and its influence can be seen in the genre's growing crossover with US trap and drill.
