uk funky has bum fluff and a day or twos growth but dubstep/post dubstep has FORESTS.
the indie thing i was talking about is that a lot of this stuff (prepare for great generalisations) favours a kind of emo-ness over sonic brawn, shyness, a certain tentativeness, its sensitive, kinda withdrawn, self absorbed even, has an apparent braininess, its somewhat self conscious, 'subjective', etc etc. its just criteria you usually associate with indie. obv tho there are lots of exceptions. but this just seems to be the stuff that makes this music different.
