Grime originated in 2000 in East London and was pioneered by artists like Wiley and Dizzy Rascal. It was initially based on depicting the violence and hardship in the lives of artists from poor backgrounds. Over time, grime music videos have become higher quality as artists have more resources, and the genre has reached larger, more diverse audiences internationally and across age groups in the UK. Lyrics have also broadened beyond only violence and hardship to appeal to a wider fan base.
