they seem to be indicating that young black youths who go to house nights and dance a certain way are the cause of lots of trouble in the 'house scene' in london
which kind of seems a bit racist

one bit where they start goin on about 'urban culture' which is just a euphemism for 'black' and then the next bit they're like 'i know if i go to a pub it'll be full of white guys sniffed up shoutin at the football' etc. etc. so seems to be suggesting that its a 'black' phenomena

Fair enough, i haven't read that bit, but overall it seems to just be a piss take i think. No way can people care that much about the way someone dances

it came about cos ther is lots of heard trance and ice smoking here so u feel like u float in the dancefloor
grate subcultrue IMO
Skills there, music on the other hand..
I only mind it when it seems people are not even really listening to the music.
Also see a lot of wobbly feet nowadays, stripped down version of these nutters:
Nothing wrong with it of course, just seems like a bit of a hype.

PS: some of the tunes in those vids... ugh... how you going to 'jack' to those retartedly hard kicks
Such pride
Like UK folks on this forum don't look at the US dubstep scene and feel lucky to have what they have.
hahahahahahahahaha the amount of times i've seen this image in response to a pkay post hhahahaahahahahahaha

I wonder why people get so up in arms about this. I wasted some time going through the facebook group and its just comes across as dickheads filming people havning fun at nights and calling them assholes?
I cant say Ive ever seen anyone doing it at any nights ive been to but the house scene is full of try hards so its odd that guys dancing in flatpeaks are looked down upon by people wearing tea cosys.

Tbf i agree with you that you should just let people have fun, but they are so annoying. Its the whole attitude they bring as well, it just gives the place an aggressive vibe & there not just like hipster there like 'rudeboy' types from essex and london who have for some reason latched onto house. I wasn't there when it happend but i guess a bit like with garage.
I mean is there any need to shout fuck off at a tune

There is a middle ground between being too cool to move and shufflin contests though.
lol at the house bro story. Dunno why we look down on brostep so much, a lot of nights i go to now have house bros who wanna vest out and shout "fuuuuuck off" when they hear a banger. All the DMZ/Exodus nights I've been to in leeds are bro'd off it too.

I'm 20 man.
Yeah, i'm sure it has been around for ages and i get what im moaning about is petty, but Its not so much the dancing that annoys me it's the stereotypical guy doing it
I just hate aggressive vibes when you're out, i wanna be having a good time and not worrying about bumping into some steroid loaded, drugged up essex guy
Also man bags are fucking gay.

Fair point.
Its just comes across as both ends of the spectrum kicking off at each other when they are both as bad as each other
Yeah not really sure why everyone is suddenly bumming Hot Creations and that side of house, I guess its what is big in Ibiza and no doubt its being played on Radio one all hours of the day.

The heydays of DnB, Grime, 2-Step, Dubstep were always full of rudeboys bringing a bit of aggro, underground clubbing needs a bit of attitude....it's only when a scene gets watered right down to student nights that it all loses any threatening feeling and usually looses the balls that made it good in the first place.
