There needs to be some gatekeeping here. Three responses to a Barty provocation thread gives you access to a vicious counter-nuum thread. Stroke Luka's ego enough in dematerialism and you get to see Simon's most scandalous musical faux pas.
no this isn't true. as in, yes it is true, but that's conceding too much territory to the dubsteppers. dubstep as a distinct halfstep template was a 2005 thing. I've said this before. mind you facts don't matter here but had jammer not been a cunt post-dubstep would have never happened.
i also think those dark garage records are great but sometimes u wanna go too west london in this regard, also why you're not into dillinja...

like blissblogger was done with grime by 2005. you were done with grime by 2005. post-dubstep was a 2009 thing. those 4 years in between just don't exist for you luke. in fact funky was a reactive move when you come to think about it. people started talking about slowing things down and housifying the dubstep trad. i was too young for stratford 2004 but i remember that much in 2009 m8. don't get too hung up on the obsessive male feminist version of historiography.

Are you saying you want to live in a post-post world?

The "post" thing often strikes me as lazy, it can feel like sidestepping whatever something actually is in favour of what it isn't. I guess it's as valid as anything else, but the idea of everything being defined in opposition to what came before and having no qualities of its own is a bit grim.
It reminds me of Fukyama's now ridiculed idea of the 'end of history' in that it feels as though you speak it into truth. Once you start branding everything 'post-whatever', you kill everything because it means there's nowhere to go but sideways and around, you're forever floating around something rather than moving beyond it. It's why I don't see anything in something like 'metamodernism', it all just feels like postmodernism now. You can't get away from it. You can't put the lid back on the box.

this forum just looks like an extension of the techno twitter/pious leftbook contingent 'sharing' music 'with' each other wtf

So much the better. The interaction I had with the admins preceding my ban was pretty schocking to me. My first experience with "SJW" culture, a term I never thought I'd accept, but now I understand.
