I've explained to her what she needs to do and have been on the phone to her tonight and she's sent me links for the subcultures she's looked at which I'll post here.
Grime:
Grime draws from 15 years of dance music - from house through to jungle and the two-step garage sound popularised by So Solid Crew. It has its own culture, one that is almost entirely self-sufficient and bypasses traditional avenues of distribution and promotion. As well as specialist magazines such as RWD - born three years ago with a pounds 2,000 grant from the Prince's Trust and now the second largest dance music magazine in the UK - the scene also has its own version of MTV in cable station Channel U, which broadcasts roughly hewn homegrown promos for grime tracks alongside ultra-slick American rap videos. The pirate radio network is paramount in promoting and popularising the scene. In this culture, an appearance on 1Extra, Radio 1's digital urban music station, is about as overground it gets.
