Neo grime is a contemporary evolution of the grime genre that emerged from the UK's urban music scene in the early 2000s. While traditional grime encapsulates fast-paced rapping over frenetic, electronic beats, neo grime pushes into more experimental territories, often incorporating ambient, ethereal soundscapes and off-kilter rhythms. Artists like Mssingno and Pholo are known for blending emotive melodies and textured synths to create a moodier, sometimes otherworldly atmosphere that distinguishes the sub-genre from its more aggressive predecessor. Characterized by its genre-bending approach, neo grime integrates elements from trap, wave, and bass music, creating a space where producers can explore the fringes of electronic music while still resonating with the gritty, raw energy of the original grime sound.
