"Future garage" seems to essentially equate to making 90's Warp sounding shit with garage beats. NO THANK YOU

I would say there is one profound flaw in the initial premise of this thread.

King of the Hill is a great show, I hope we can all agree on that at the very least. : |

On the Coki front...His tunes have earth shattering sub. The mid-range he uses does in no way compromise that, and in most cases, compliments it. And that's what it's all about, right?

the first statement i agree with.
the second one not so much. i get the feeling that coki gets massive props when he doesnt necessarily deserve it. redeye ep is sick, i'll give you that, but the rest is just a bit shit innit. or am i on my ow there?

Yeah but that would be great if we could keep this shit out of the SNH ;-)

Yeah, like.... I think the Borgore take on dubstep is awful, but Clubroot represents to me the exact same mindset on the opposite side of the dubstep spectrum. It's like '80s adult contemporary music in a dubstep format.

"Brostep" and "future garage" are both rather awful to me. With exceptions like older Coki or Broken Note (if you'd call them that..) on one side and perhaps, Burial and Sepalcure on the other.
here's an idea... judge an artist and a track not a genre.

you might find you have more luck describing what you like and dont like.

cos writing off entire slabs of music with 'notable exceptions' just seems a bit silly...

I was merely drawing parallels between what people call 'brostep' and 'future garage', because most of the music that falls in either camp sounds like a watered down appropriation of something else to my ears.

Recognizing that, for example, most modern death metal sounds like same ol' crap to me, doesn't say I can't find beauty in individual bands, does it?

And weren't you slating modern hard/technoid drum & bass but a few weeks ago? Making Current Value a notable exception? Edit: nope, you were making Autonomic the big exception in the d&b spectrum. Same thing, though.
