One way to describe "cool" is the exact opposite of mainstream.
Not to say I don't agree with you, but you're hurting your own case. |

Is that whole Marcy rooftop party/Culprit LA/Wolf+Lamb sound still big? That stuff wasn't bad...

That's whats hot right now. DnB is the NEXT wave of hip. Fads can't stay cool forever. |
Yea like i said that slow boring marathon disco house seems to be the hippest genre still, but i swear its dying. "look at me i'm a girl wearing a fake mustache! its funny because its ironic! this will never get old!" |

system-j, thanks for the heads up on dnb. could've done without the speculative bickering though. id like to see girls dancing to 2011 dnb, wheres the youtube of that? At future sound of breaks and world of dnb in miami a couple years ago all i saw was 90's militant vibe still, with dudes wearing camouflage hoodies and candy raver girls. so its changed drastically in a few short years? |
There are still militant junglists, of course, but my whole point is that drum 'n bass has such huge variety to it. If you go to a neurofunk night you're going to get camo gear and aggressive male vibes, but there's so much more to it than that. There are a couple of regular drum 'n bass nights in my city that attract around a thousand people, a lot of them students.
I've no idea where the Youtubes are of girls dancing. I'm basing my conclusion on meeting a lot of girls who like drum 'n bass. I'm going to see LTJ Bukem next week with a girl I work with.

No I'm not. My whole point is that drum 'n bass is "cool" in every possible sense. It's cool in the 18 year old kid sense, and it's also cool in the genuine underground sense. Everyone went ing nuts when they heard ASC's podcast for RA last year. |

"Cool" is reserved for the minority. |

"Cool" is an arbitrary and intangible concept that can mean almost anything depending on context. |

Such a pity because Scotland once had it's own huge rave scene that was miles ahead of anything else in the UK at the time. |
Time to bust the beat for this jam and drop that beat again, THAT was cool :) |
