I mean it's more cringe to see middle class people pretending to be down with a proletariat they have nebulously defined, which ultimately is the endpoint of being disillusioned with the hardcore continuum. that's why i only ever cared for it as a trajectory and not an ontological theory.
drill isn't really working class music either. it was ultimately lumpen. undisciplined, a product of thatcherism. break down the solidarity and organisational capacity of the working class by expanding the lumpen proletariat, drag more people into the informal and criminal economies to prevent them from winning back what they deserve through collective organisation. it's actually closer to the middle class atomised consciousness than this forum would like to admit. dog eat dog. it's just that consciousness is seen as legitimate for the middle class and criminal for those sections of the decaying working class which are forced into a position of being the scum of humanity.
as for the spastic rhythms comment, well, you don't really have standing legs to moan about the 2step lock grid nature of post-96 dnb if all along what you wanted was genteel breaks in an ltj bukem stylee, because that style has always been out there. fact is there is loads of very spastic jungle from 93-95.
I get that defending the charts at all costs makes you seem in touch with the proles but we all know thats a middle class hoax isn't it. it's like 20th century marxists stuck in a timeloop crying for a pure authentic proletariat. they will never ever find such a thing.
As for the aut in autechre and incels, you can go on baiting them all you like but childhood projected ableism is not a good look is it. this goes back to, once again, the self-recriminating anti-intellectual tradition in middle class British public life of dismissing anything that one can't comprehend with bewildered contempt.
It seems to me yyou guys feel the middle class guilt more than I do. I just don't share the same irreverence and don't try to hide my insecurities in some weird ham-fisted constepated attempt.
