Is dubstep a brand name now?

Obviously Blackdown is one of the more visible commentators on the scene (such a bad word) but at the end of the day its only an opinion - act on it as you will, but I find its ultimately soul destroying trying to define something like dubstep, and anyway why bother. Its not as if you can stop people appropriating anything for their own gain if they feel that way inclined.

"the thing that's consistent is the subbass. in an ideal world anything goes on top of that."

I never knew there was a bbc documentary wiv Kode 9, I would have watched that instead of the 9th repreat of whatever on E4 most likely my name is Earl.
I think dubstep is anything that garage and d&b heads don't accept as their own, at the end of the day your not gonna get closer to dubstep than D&B or UK garage, otherwise if it sounds Jamaican influenced drum wise its dubstep. Like Kode says the other layers apart from bass can be anything. Don't forget "rave" is not an english term even though "rave music" definitely was. The term is Jamaican slang for an outdoor all night reggae/dancehall party, we all owe that little island a whole lot

agreed there is alot of pisspoor breakbeat around but if you look at what protocol X is doing there ain't nothing piss poor about it and I reckon is a lot closer to dubstep than breakbeat. Along with scarecrow there is a definite line of progression running through the storming camp.
