I always found the genre kind of hard to pin down, but thats just me. Like I really can't tell where the genre itself starts and where it ends.

True, you have Massive Attack and Portishead and Maxinquaye, but is all downtempo/ambient/illbient sounding stuff Trip Hop?

Do you fit stuff like Everything but the Girl and Goldfrapp and the like in the same genre? Hell, I can post weird obscure Japanese stuff that may be Trip Hop, but I dunno.

Can somebody more knowledgeable break the genre down for a playa who's American mind is stuck on music genres with "-Hop" at the end strictly having either somebody rhyming or DJing?

a style of dance music, usually slow in tempo, that combines elements of hip-hop and dub reggae with softer, more ambient sounds.

Trip hop music fuses several styles and has much in common with other genres; it has several qualities similar to ambient music and its drum-based breakdowns share characteristics with hip hop. It also contains elements of R&B, dub and house, as well as other electronic music. Trip hop can be highly experimental in nature.

I broads a lot of styles, to me if there's the drums and some chillout/downtempo sound can be considered trip-hop but yes it can be difficult to classify some of these music.
Post what you have.
