Nobody uses the term 'triphop' anymore,
The term is 'downtempo'.



I still use it, but then, I'm nobody. Not that I mind; a lot of 18-21 
year-olds voted for me in the last election.
 
Besides, I like the term 'triphop', it's the last holdout for jazz and it 
hints at psychedelia. If I start saying 'downtempo', people will think I'm more 
of an egghead than they already do. 'Downtempo' sounds like a magazine beaniks 
would have read in the 50's. AND it's just a fancy word for 'slow', and not 
all trip-hop is slow.
 
Uh-oh. Here come the genre name police...
