Corbyn’s successful digital campaign led to hundreds of grime artists showing their support for the Labour leader with the lights of MOBO award winning Stormzy<\/a>, who has over 890,000 followers on twitter ‘Digging what Jeremy Corbyn says’<\/a>. Grime is a genre of music that emerged in London in the early 2000s. It initially spread among private radio stations that had a small following before recently achieving a much mainstream recognition in the UK. Grime is recognized as a creative and innovative musical style but respectively, the idea that the music is the package of “youth making music for youth” is seen as the crucial factor for grime’s success.\u00a0With that as a key message and Labour\u2019s key aim to support the younger generation it was no doubt that the internet would bring together such an unlikely pair through their common ground.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The aspiring key objective that both Grime artists and Corbyn adopted was not to pressure young people with who they should vote for but to simply just vote!\u00a0This year\u2019s general election proved that you\u2019re vote really can make a difference with results showing that a record breaking 72% of young people turned out to vote in this year\u2019s general election. I mean, the election might not have given Corbyn the overall result he wanted but he should certainly be proud of that! In my eyes young people are the most important people when it comes to a general election as its their future Brits are voting for. So hats off to Corbyn to targeting the young audience, he even kept \u2018down with the kids\u2019 by regularly adding videos to the social phenomenon that is snap chat.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.blog.buprojects.uk\/2016-2017\/jessicamcmillan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/80\/2016\/12\/4064A23600000578-4511596-image-a-11_1494949915706-300x262.jpg\")
