Glitch Hop

Description

Glitch Hop is a genre that combines the rhythmic elements of hip hop with the digital, glitchy sounds of electronic music. It often features complex, syncopated beats, heavy basslines, and the use of digital effects to create a 'glitchy' sound.

History

Glitch Hop emerged from the electronic music scene in the early 2000s, influenced by the glitch music movement that focused on using digital errors and artifacts as musical elements. It evolved by incorporating the groove and structure of hip hop, creating a unique fusion that appealed to fans of both genres. Artists began experimenting with this sound, leading to its growth and popularity in the underground music scene.
