The slight jiggle "in the trunk" that a carribean woman has as she walks down the street. Imagine the 'double beat' sound of reggae, as correlating to a rump rising and falling, jiggling slightly because the woman has some extra fat there.
Bwoyy, gi'll got RIDDEM, derr!

What idiots listen to. A bad sounding kind of dubstep music that will trigger an extreme and violent rage that can only be satisfied by attacking the source of the horrible noise. Some people think they're cool for listening and talking about riddim, but they're not. Riddim is a great way to identify dumbasses, they will be talking about it.

If you witness someone talking about riddim like it's cool, please correct them by insulting their musical preferences and intelligence. If we all work together, we can get rid of this shit.

Riddim is a genre in Edm that has been blowing up thanks to artist like MONXX and Excision bringing light to it. Riddim is like dubstep , but worse on your ears. Usually riddim is off beat, repeats the same sound over and over again, and has a group of "head bangers" headbanging to the said off beats sounds.
