This is getting a bit tedious guys

Its annoying enuf hearing people argue whether its 'Jungle' vs. 'Drum and Bass'

Can we just get back to calling it music?

rant over

I hear there's this great new group from Australia called Pendulum. Have you heard them? They've got a tune called The Vault, proper heavy, being played out by everyone. Zinc dropped it twice at The End, sick tune, but it was on a CD, so I think that's selling out a bit - real DJs use vinyl innit.

Tbh honest, the music is getting too fast, and there's too many Americans on DOA that dress up in pyjamas, wielding shotguns. Reason isn't a proper sequencer you know, and it's all a bit too loud, but it's all good yeah, because Grooverider has bare dubs from Twisted Individual coming out on Prototype that he lost in Dubai.

Im really the only one who finds this type of labeling over the top?

To be honest I think this type of categorizing has a lot to do with killing underground music ...

People become so obseesed with their little sub styles , sub genres that they wont tolerate anything outside of it which is just downright silly ... " I only play dark techstep" or " I only play ragga" errr, right. There is so much good music out there you tit! Why limit youself based upon superficial labels ?

This type of pigeonholing can generally be found in all walks of music and life... "Im a punk rocker , therefore I only listen to punk music", "Im a hip hopper , I cann only listen to West Coast hip hop " This mentality just stupifies me

Aye, I Much prefer somebody describe me the different quirks & characteristics of a song and its melody or the off way the drum rolls than give me one word I need a dictionary to figure out. I'm kinda an old f'er man. I don't think it should always be this confusing, heh.

It's dope we have this wild-ass compilation of styles though! More to choose from!

I think you missed my point: your rant is old and done with

ajtonic wrote:

if that was your point then yeah i missed it... How anyone could extract that from that mess of a post is simply mind boggling...

ajtonic wrote:

I love variety too! Thats my whole point! Do we really need a new sub-style for every record that sounds different than the next???

There is only 2 types

Drum & bass, (even though most music has drums and bass in)
and
Gaylord Jazzy drum & bass

LOL .. Quote of the year

Cant agree with you though, I quite like my jazzy dnb!

I say theres only Drum & Bass or Jungle - everything else is nitpicking!

No, we don't need a style for Everything, just keep making'em.

Im not sure how Clownstep even became relevant enough to even have its own sub-genre.

I guess because for some god only knows what reason, loads of people started dancing to it in clubs. I guess its probably down to the drugs?!

knoeki wrote:

sub generes are okay, but sometimes it gets a bit ridiculous. if someone asks me what I play, I tell them "jungle/drum'n'bass". specific enough. I play pretty much any sub-style under aformentioned genres.

The tricky thing with subgenres is that everyone catagorizes stuff different

"this is clownstep"
"no this is jump-up"
"no dude clownstep is what liquid fans call jump-up"

seriously people, shut. the. fuck. up. nobody cares. It's great that we have them, but arguing about them is childish, pointless and pathetic.
