I'm only keeping this open because it's been really quiet in here lately. I actually deleted this thread the last time Ozzman tried it. Frankly I don't really see any value in this sort of shit. The only discussion that's gone on in here has been the retarded exchange that Southern Trendkill initiated (seriously, popularity = quality? :zombie. Everything else has pretty much "I think such and such sucks", followed by "OMG I can't believe you think that". Fucking awesome.
I approve of all the above-mentioned statements.

I feel gross for saying this, but this song is like crack. I can't make it stop.

One controversial opinion I strongly believe in that has nothing to do with personal taste is that trip-hop is a completely unnescessary genre.
The specifics of trip-hop overlap sufficiently with so many other genres that all the artists can be just as accurately described as something else.
This is before I go ahead and say the majority of the big players in trip-hop are shite, Amon Tobin being just about the only exception I can think of.
All this makes it that much more annoying that one of the bands I'm involved with keeps trying to classify themselves as the afformentioned redundant genre.

I agree. I also agree that trip-hop is a redundant genre. Electronic music has grown so much since the early nineties when it became popular that Portishead & Massive Attack are the only artists that I really associate with trip-hop anymore. Who else was there? Sneaker Pimps? lol. I always thought Amon Tobin was electronica/breakbeat.

Yeah I'd primarily define him as that as well, though he delves into what can be considered trip-hop now and again.
I wouldn't describe it as psychedelic hip-hop, although the name would suggest this would be apt. It generally has very little in common with almost any style of hip-hop.
wikipedia has it pretty well summed up - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip-hop

well yeah good point, the "trip" part of the name would refer to the certain feelings and sounds given off from the music, such as a very relaxing vibe coupled with smooth and pulsating electronic sounds,

"Brighter Than a Thousand Suns" is one of the best Killing Joke albums. Thats controversial cause half the fans hate it.

We used to play 18 & life "back in the day". Still not one of my picks for great pop metal bands.
