trip-hop is a kind of British/European dance music. Its name comes from "Trip+Hip-hop" = Trip-hop. Because it originated in bristol, England, it was originally called "bristol hip-hop". Because hip-hop (in fact, a lot of music is based on hip-hop. I don't know what hip-hop is. Go and see the people who dance hip-hop. Most of them dance with hip-hop music.) The rhythm is slowed down (sometimes very slow), and some psychedelic flavors are added, such as gloomy and plump bass, slight but psychedelic synthetic sound effects, or samples of some records. Sometimes even the noise of records may be sampled "intentionally". The so-called "trip" refers to the psychedelic and dense drug "journey", so trip-hop is a kind of slow, psychedelic, jazz-like, confused break beat music with a little hip hop rhythm. Although it belongs to the dance music category, its psychedelic and confused characteristics have made it far from all the clear beat characteristics of general dance music.
