Glitch Hop

Glitch hop is a subgenre of electronic dance music (EDM) that combines elements of hip hop, glitch, and electronica. It is characterized by its use of distorted, glitchy sounds, syncopated rhythms, and heavy basslines.

Glitch hop emerged in the early 2000s as producers began experimenting with incorporating glitchy sounds and broken beats into hip hop and electronic music. Artists like Prefuse 73, Machinedrum, and edIT (of The Glitch Mob) are considered pioneers of the genre. It gained popularity throughout the 2000s and 2010s, with festivals and dedicated communities forming around the sound.
