Im getting sick of seeing constant knocking of genres of dnb. At the moment it is jump up which is always getting caned. I think its ridiculous that people are so quick and narrow minded to say an entire genre is shit.
I can understand that maybe the quality has changed recently. It can be seen that jump up is not diverse as it once was. But isn't that because we have more sub genres than ever before?
I think its narrow minded to say that jump up is completely shit now. To say that means you are saying all the jump up in the past is shit. Is Roni Size shit?
In my opinion all these sub genres are only useful when buying records and even then I think they can have a negative effect. Surely if its a good tune it doesnt matter what style of dnb it is. Do you think artists and producers think "I am only going to make jump up or liquid tunes from now on". I doubt it. I reackon it comes down to whether they think its a good tune or not regardless of style.
I think there are only two genres, jungle and drum and bass. Long live both of em.
