There’s a common theme that runs through our genre retrospective features. Regular readers will know that around half of the genres we cover are known by names which the key artists dispute. From IDM to hair metal, name a genre and there’s a pretty good chance plenty of the artists involved won’t like it. This month we turn our attention to yet another hotly disputed and generally unloved term, trip-hop.
