I would suspect that once the likes of the Wire and Boomkat-deriven shops stop enthusing over it so wildly and let it run its course, the genre might actually become interesting, because it doesn't really deserve the fawning it receives right now.
That's not to say there's nothing good in the genre, but the slavish drivel that is written about it by some people about it just puts me off. -----Original Message----- From: Thomas D.

Not that it matters, I think. nah, that is 2-step. it really has no connection in beat patterns, sound pallette, or feel to anything in the dubstep genre, it shares many of those things with 2-step records though. > When it comes to 'dubstep' I do not like it more or less than any other > music - I just like good > music.
