Why is burial considered dubstep?

Just cause this is a burial thread, an hour into the mix comes a snippet of one of the long time coming Flying Lotus & Burial collabs.

I wouldn’t class burial as ‘dubstep’ and anyway the majority of his tunes are 120/130bpm which put them out of the traditional ‘dubstep’ boundaries but what really annoys me about ‘dubstep’ fans is that if a Techno/House/Grime Etc tune comes out on a ‘dubstep’ label it’s instantly classed as ‘dubstep’ , Even if it’s a straight up techno/house tune.

Funnily enough that's exactly what I like about the scene - the fans and people who run labels and club nights are broad-minded about music.

Burial's first lp was one of the things that inspired the development of dubstep. No one knew what to call it then, really and dubstep was just learning to walk at that point and they started playing in the sandbox together and they played doctor, peeking at each others privates and NOW THEY'RE FREAKIN MARRIED.

Dont you have some "whats the name of this sexy filthy tune?" threads to start or something?

Is it because this is what early dubstep sounded like or something? Ive only been listening to dubstep for a few months now, and i do think most burial tunes are incredible, but cant see how they are labeled as dubstep. they sound nothing like the majority of dubstep tunes. Does he want his tunes labeled dubstep? seems more like downtempo or some shit

is this guy for real?

i know! he doesn't know as much about dubstep as you! TURBOL0Lz

Listen mate, when someone asks a question you wondered about some time ago, that's the cue to jump in a prove how much you - YOU YOU YOU - know about dubstep by belittling them and avoiding the question in the laziest way possible. THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS!

no offense mate but you come across as a bit of a snob.
