pretty much because they cant write their way out of a paper bag, also because they cover so much awful "5 minutes, microwave career" bands and i dont really want something i love (dubstep) to be associated with them, (i.e. electroclash, shroomadelica) i'm not even kidding, they actually made up the term "shroomadelica".
any coverage they do give will be completely half arsed and badly researched and it'll give people a distorted view of what this music is really all about. in a years time you'll have stnuc coming up to you saying "what? you STILL listen to that shit? thats well 2007"

I was going to post there as to how strange it was that I, word for word, would've written pretty much the exact same reply as above, before I realised the irony that it was actually you jonny.

I fookin hope not.Make sure the bouncer dont let them in tomorrow.

NME can suck a donkey...

Not too bothered bout the NME getting on it, not the kind of scene where scenesters will last long I dont think.

Nothing wrong with

Slothrop" twat in tight jeans?

I don't think it's a bad thing for one scene to acknowledge the presence of another. Would you rather they did an article on how shit they think dubstep is?

How many dubstep magazines/sites/writers would write an article with dubstep producers bigging up 'tight black jean indie wankers'?

If it was monocultural surely they wouldn't be writing about it?

Isn't it a bit fascist to choose who can and can't dig dubstep?

Being proprietorial about anything is the most surefire way to stifle it's creativity...

All that I was here first stuff is a bit dated too - do people into dubstep for a year enjoy it significantly less than the folks who remember Zed Bias's tough stuff etc.....

I am no fan of the NME but at the same time you can't expect to own a scene - look at what happened to D+B - it went within and the music suffered massively.

I think Dubstep will remain being an exctiting genre if outsiders are allowed into the inner sanctum....

And I am not talking about retired/bored run out of ideas d+b producers either...

Aye, it's counterproductive to try and restrict access to a scene. Hopefully this is a sign of recognition on the NME's part that they've been banging on about the same old crap for years and are bucking their ideas up. I ain't holding my breath, mind.
