Grime emerged in East London in the early 2000s from genres like UK garage, drum & bass, hip hop, and dancehall. It is considered a hybrid genre that takes influences from various cultural and musical styles. While grime became popular in the UK, major record labels were slow to acknowledge it as a genre that could compete globally. Artists like Dizzee Rascal and Wiley helped bring grime into the mainstream media in the early 2000s. A recent TV comedy-drama called Youngers is based on teenagers in Southeast London trying to break into the grime music scene.
