Reflections on “Trench”
About 9 months after my initial Tweet saying “trench still sounds cooler than riddim tbh”, and my blog article detailing my suggestion for a potential name change, I wanted to take another look at the topic and reflect on the state of “Trench” as a name for the sub-genre.
Why Trench?
For the last decade, we’ve been casually referring to the more minimalistic and flow-focused side of dubstep as “Riddim”. However, many artists and fans have not been happy with this name and its increasingly loose definition and usage. Let’s take a look at the reasons, and how the name “Trench” can serve as a solution.
