Grime?

I might be a little behind the times here, but I’ve recently discovered this new(ish) genre called Grime, which is intriguing me. My 10-second review of the entire genre: play a 45-RPM D&B record at 33, and run the output through Replicant and a big-ass plate reverb set to 80% wet.

That said, I am virtually certain that there are readers here who not only know about Grime, but make it (the music, not the kibble.) And you can illuminate us all on what the deal is. Who’s the big artist? Why are they good? What are the bullet points?

(It’s hard keeping track of all these electronic genres, I’ll grant, but at least I try.)

EDIT: I think that I was talking about dubstep. But maybe not.
