MB> Why do we need the term trip hop? We need it because the
MB>term hip hop is more or less synonymous with rap in the public
MB>domain. We need it because the genre *is* a step beyond rap/hip hop.
MB>The beat structures sound like hip hop but the music most definitely
MB>is different. The "i'm so bad" attitude is gone replaced with the
MB>facelessness of the idm/techno scene. Trip hop to hip hop is like
MB>idm to techno IMO. Its a more mental music with less front.
some more deleted..
MB>Trip Hop as term may be a goofy perversion, but is it any worse than
acid jazz?

Mark,
I agree completely and with your comments now on the record I will shut
the hell up about trip hop (or at least arguing about the name).
