from an interview I did in a San Francisco rag in 2006

"The scene is still underground, so you don't have the hipsters or the big egos yet. Both will come — they always do. But the cool thing is, there's a place for them. As long as you don't have aggressive vibes, you'll be welcomed."

Plus, he says, death of dance music subcultures is an illusion. "There's still garage, there's still grime, there's still drum-and-bass," he says. "The music doesn't go away, it just goes in and out of the public eye. With dubstep, it's not going away — it's been around in other forms for at least six years; it's just that now it has an identity. If it disappears from the public eye, cool. It'll be like going back to your favorite bar after the "cool" people got tired of it."

the point being, this is an old tired discussion. music is music, lets just shut up about it and listen to it please.

Yeah read up on kode 9s theory about the hardcore continuum being like a virus.

fuck kode9, people say i'm negative but that guys seems to put down dubstep all the time, and he's the one playing shitty funky house at raves.

dubstep is way too established to just not exist in a few years. it'll be around forever now i reckon, getting better and worse along the way.

spot on mate, i like the guys music be he doesn't half chat some bollocks.

Alive and kickin man, 10 years from now, there will still be heads making Dubstep. There will be a lot less bandwagon jumpers and hangers on is my prediction.

this.
there's no dubstep scene whatsoever in my city tho, so im sure things can only get better for us few bassheads.

Bass will always be close to my heart(bass is the heart). I was raised on Miami Bass. This latest scene is just a logical progression.

i do reckon it will split into sub genres like house has, techno has, dnb has etc etc. but that's only a problem when people stop making/playing stuff because its not *insert sub genre here*

with dubstep being non organic i dont see how it can die. its a bit like asking "will table die?" to which the answer is yes it already has and no it will live forever. the question we should be asking is "how long before dubstep becomes an unstable surface to put our drinks on and we have to wedge some beer mats under its leg?"
