my coworkers won't shut up about turntable and mention dubstep a lot. im the other day:
how goes? I'm trying to pin down the genre of an artist, he goes by "Burial" -- electronic artist from the UK, have you by chance heard of him?Wiki says his genre is "ambient, dubstep, house" among other things, hard to pin down -- so was just curious.
i generally just keep quiet and act like i just listen to salsa.

Urgent and key question in this debate, what sort of profile do PENDULUM have in the US? Because I think it is now the law that every teenage boy in the UK must immediately get massively into Pendulum the moment he turns 15. They're like the new Green Day.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 17 August 2011 14:36 (twelve years ago) link
Pendulum = obviously not brostep but an important marker the the development of testosterone dance.

i have to say though, i had a job a year or so back where copies of kerrang were always around the office, and i was both totally surprised and not surprised at all that one of the Worst DNB Acts of All-Time had transmogrified themselves into linkin park 2.0

the Pendulum link would make sense to me, I can imagine yr Kerrang metal-listening teen digging Skrillex with Pendulum being your natural point in between. But I have no idea if that metal -> brostep continuum really exists, in the UK at least. And have only heard of Skrillex through here and HRO.

i've met nerdy crunchy d&b dudes and they are still dudes. and kinda clueless about anything other than a really narrow area of boring stuff. maybe they aren't fratboys or whatever. i dunno. the common thread is a love for tedious dance music.

This stuff is all very well if it actually does something interesting, but fuck me that MAgnetic Man album is as dull and predictable as hell. Plus I'm now allergic to Pendulum. Skrillex and Nero make me wanna take a potato peeler to my skin.

This all explains why I went to this Hessle Audio thing in London this year and it wasn't very good and I felt too old and it was all guys 10+ years younger than me in neon rimmed raybans and polo shirts.
