very now and than, a musical genres foremost poet or pioneer will come forth claiming the style is dead.
We've already seen it in punk, hip hop, metal, rock and opera already.
Stupidest thing even, that this seems to be some kind of "retro- cycle" that passes along every decade.
With the coming of styles like dubstep amongst others, purists are really keen on claiming that these styles are no derative or subgenre of our beloved DnB.
Better yet, they utter the words "DnB is dead!"
If your own creative impulses can't cope with a style any longer, why claim it is dead in the first place? Couldn't it just evolve into other (sub)styles?
No, kill your idols instead!
There seems to be no better way to start something new, than completely destroy any relations with the past.
How can a genre with high BPM rates be dead, while comparing it to the ever so low BPM rates of the ever so vivid dubstep?
Ofcourse, BPM rates are not a factor in this case, but people listening and enjoying DnB are.
There are still heaps and heaps of bass-heads still jumping their shoes to the sounds of d&b pioneers as Krush, Bukem, Dom & Roland and all others still producing.
Agreed that the old spirit needs to be revived. Still, it's no reason to don the old lass after that much joy she has given us.
Drum and Bass is dead? It seems ever so vibrant as it was in 1996!
