the interesting discussions we had about new music mostly came from Barty. UK drill, Brooklyn drill, rap out of Atlanta and the new wave of dancehall. That to me is acceptable. I think if we'd have talked about gqom or 'deconstructed club' I would have had some sort of attack. I agree with third form here. That kind of club culture is diseased, decadent and despicable.
Yeah tbh I could have posted a bunch of stuff that stuff at the time but I've never been a really active poster and I kind of knew it would get mercilessly destroyed by you and others, which is nothing against you or anyone else and says more about me — I'm guess I'm not a Datwun, Continuum or Barty that is just going to keep chipping away at it. Although funnily enough I think a lot of the criticisms might have ended up sounded like Datwun's complaints about Hessle/UK bass, not that it would have made them unjustified, or that I couldn't have articulated a bunch of criticisms myself.
Gqom though was the real deal and to me is one of, if not
the, musical high points of the past decade. Before everyone started ripping off Distruction Boyz the levels were just insane. But it wasn't easily shareable in a forum context as the music mostly lived on Kasimp3, Whatsapp or filesharehost links in Facebook groups.
