Bashment music, also known as dancehall, is a popular genre in Jamaica developed in 1978 that blends reggae and grime with a fast, danceable beat. While dancehall gained popularity in the mid-1990s, it has received criticism for sometimes violent and homophobic lyrics. Bashment music is popular in the Caribbean and UK on private radio but not public radio, as record labels do not see it as competitive in the global market. The author chose to create a Bashment magazine to showcase the genre and artists in a more sophisticated light, addressing stereotypes, and fill a gap, as research found no existing Bashment magazines.
