Industrial hip hop is a fusion of the dissonance and dystopian subject matter of industrial music with the rhythms of hip hop music. Industrial hip hop is connected to (and sometimes confused with) the more experimental variants of trip hop. It also anticipates many of the developments of dubstep. Illbient is also adjacent to, and possibly a subgenre of, industrial hip hop. Contemporary industrial hip hop is also closely connected to digital hardcore and breakcore. .
