You heard it here first. The spectacular new term for the new wave of MC Garage with Roll Deep up front -- better than gabba garage of gutter garridge of whatever reynolds came up with.

Blipment! Use it, spread it, love it!

Explain its derivation.

B + Lip + Ment

From "Bashment" for dancehall raveup but with "blip" instead for the laptop skronk riddims. A play on "bouncement" which is what was getting pushed as the uk-hip-hop term.

I heart Chupa. And it's sure a hell lot better than 'bouncement,' that would have made me hurt people. Though I have to note that 'blipment' initially made me think of a combination of electro and Steve Malkmus, and does the world want that?

why not just Blippage?

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 9 January 2003 12:50 (twenty-three years ago)

or even Blip-pop

blip = too chlidish, trivial. blips are minor, easily skipped. 'laptop skronk riddims' shorn of vitality

We certainly need a word to describe music that's using the 2-step beat. I don't have a problem with it, but people I've spoken to abroad seem to associate 2-step with mainstream acts like So Solid.

No seriously everyone please go download the Dizzy & Wiley track 'Happens For A Reason'. Sick blipment.

Where?

There's not a jot of blipment on soulseek.

I hope the pirate MCs don't adopt this phrase, they'd blippetybloppetyblow it out of all proportions.

Soulseek, yeah. Just put it in your wishlist and wait for the blipmenty deliciousness.

Hmmm, that's sure gonna confuse my friends on BlipList : http://www.blip.alturl.com/

Blipment makes me think of those adverts in Max Headroom that make fat people explode.
