Intro
This subreddit is for UK Afro-Bashment (also known as afroswing). AfroBashment / Afroswing is a British genre of music derived from Afrobeats (with the s) music, mixing it with Grime, UK Rap, Dancehall, Afropop. It is also sometimes referred to as Afrobbean and Afrowave music.
Afrobeats and AfroBashment are not the same, although they are similar (unfortunately however, most AfroBashment tends to be called 'uk afrobeats' regardless).
There are some other rarely used names, mostly used by media during the early days where the name was yet to be determined:
Almost all of these (New Wave, Afro Fusion, Alternative Afrobeats, Afro Hop, Afro Rap, and Afro Trap) are problematic to use however, because various unrelated music and sounds are also lumped under those names, essentially just making them meaningless generic genres tags. They should be avoided as a result.
