nice round up of the state of things, Joe-- glad to see that, in the end, i think we can all agree that there's endless positive things that will continue to come from our little neck of the subcultural worlds.
And you excellently ducked-and-covered the bro debacle by coining "dudestep."
that, alone, is deserving of dancing corn:

In the old days, people used to write things that are even longer, you couldn't put them on your screeen but they had these individual bits you could flick through to jump from one part to another instantly. They were called "buks" or something.

Cheers for the comments, much appreciated.
Also if anyone hasn't seen it, here's another lengthy bit of musing on where genre names come from, with a few familiar folk popping up in it: http://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/dail ... /17/0/2070

Really fantastic article. I agree with pretty much everything said there. However, I do want to add this:
Dubstep (in America, at least) has an image problem. Speaking from my own experiences and talking to other people, I've realized this: Despite all this great, diverse music being made, to the average person who isn't a fan of a genre, dubstep appears to consist only of WUBWUBWUBWUB tracks and James Blake. Obviously, not everyone is going to like the genre anyway, but due the continuing success of "brostep" artists outside of the genres' regular listeners a lot of people are writing off dubstep as the worst genre ever.
Thoughts?
