This subforum is completely []necessary

Why would you all move to another forum with zero traffic? surely if you want to promote alternative views/music its better to be stuck below the main dubstep forum where people might actually check... even if it is by mistake.

THis. Also calling it room 2 just to make a difference is proper foolish.

The reason it works so well here is because it keeps all the wankerstep heads out, because they all probably think

‘ERR Y WUDAI WAN 2 LISKEN TO ELEKTRO BEATZ??? GIF ME CASPET & RUSK0BISCUIT ANYDAY.....x’

why change a thing?

the comparative lack of navel-gazing / obsessive pigeonholing is why i, and probably lots of other people, post here in the first place

i agree, it's quite nicely balanced here, leave it be.

this^ and maybe this forum belongs here because it does actually still have very obvious ties to the dubstep/uk underground movement....

at the end of the day the majority of people who come here are probably more than happy to continue to. The above reasons state why it's still valid/effective and it would be rude to just abandon this......I think that the influence that dubstep/uk "continuum" sounds have had can often be heard in the productions that are found in the music of this forum and so therefore, for a stranger stumbling upon here instead of the main forum, that would be an exciting an interesting discovery, but one where the tie/relevance to dubstep will in some way be hopefully acknowledged through stylistic or common ties.

It's often the case that art and social groups like to be too inclusive and protectionist. In musical terms this often comes across as snobbery. Creating a new forum would defo be too inclusive and counter productive.

I would argue that the public face of dubstep would be a little less varied and ummmmm "interesting" if this forum was no longer part of one of it's major publicity sources??

Social groups do come and go but it does seem rather daft talking about an alternative name or home when all the above reasons and points are taken into consideration. If a new place is gonna happen someone or moreover something will make it. Hope this makes sense?!!

house it is!

by calling it room 2 you are really limiting yourselves. this music should be room 1

[inferno]

or just stay as is

This is such a non-issue. Why not just ignore the name and continue to enjoy the high quality of music posted here? This forum and the posts here are pretty damn good, why fix something that isn't broken?

Genre names are for suckers anyways, just listen to the music and form your own opinions.

my thoughts exactly. it's a term like "future garage" that is inherently limited and pretty short sighted in it's use because it's very easy to outgrow the name. future garage isn't always going to be future and this music isn't always going to be room 2

wot do u call it part 2: who actually cares?

ha I was just actually thinking that exact thing

[SickMan D]

Didnt the admin name this subforum, isnt it really up to them... I'm not really down with the term 'future' for any kind of musical movement, it dates to easily. As long you understand the broad concepts of dance music surely you can understand the sort of music being talked about in this subforum?

House is a feeling.

He he

It's nice to see a long thread on this forum, but I find the topic inane and diverting. People are talking in circles on the internet again .
