Is DnB the new Punk?
DnB has certainlly inflitrated the squat/ free-party scene and its sounding more punkish and militant each day that goes by... its a shame that all the old ravers are so apolitical.
Maybe DnB could finally fill the void of proper rebelious musical youth culture!
Anyone come across any overtly political DnB acts DnB mc's?
yes
It certainly seems to irritate fans of "proper" music enough to count.
nope
breakcore is the new punk
or jungle at a stretch - not dnb tho, too many milesy's
breakcore
some of the gigs i've been to have had that thing where everyone there is into it, noone is posing
dnb is too big,
but it isn't the new punk, it's loads better than punk
yep I'd agree with breakcore
But what's the obligitary Breakcore uniform??
I had this conversation at a party and a guy said 'Drum n bass is more punk than punk ever was' I immediately dismissed his claims as bollocks but I definately thought that the more harder drum n bass was the punk of electronic music, but now the breakcore/mashcore whatever ya wanna call it scene has come about and is growing I feel this is far more the punk of electronic music. On the venetian snares entry in wikipedia it describes his work:-Originally Posted by ddraig

Although this quote is just about Venetian Snares' music I think it sums up breakcore nicely.Much of Venetian Snares' work seems reactionary to the often repetitive, confined, and streamlined tendencies of Rave music and Drum and bass, in much the same way that Punk rock challenged established music trends in the aftermath of Arena rock
Isn't grime the new punk as well
Yep, breakcore/mashup etc etc is more punk than dnb
It's better as well
breakcore is the new punk, some of us (not me) have known for years, but everyday new people realise.
breakcore is breakcore , DnB is DnB , mashup is mashup and punk is punk . By all means celebrate the similarities between attitudes/styles but let each one exist in it's right !
mashup doesnt exist in its own right, thats the whole point(
i've been saying this for years.
its the music that everyone loves to hate and it attracts a lot of old punks
too, which must mean something
but you get the point though , to say DnB is the new punk is doing a disservice to DnB IMO !mashup doesnt exist in its own right, thats the whole point
DnB isn't the 'new' anything. If it was the new punk it would be the equivalent of punk in about 1990.
Savage Henry was DJing at the DnB/breakcore etc night I went to on Saturday
I missed him though
yup.Isn't grime the new punk as well
and black is the new white etc etc
Surely drum and base can't be the new anything, it's been around for at least 10 years now..
I dint like to tell'em that....by my reckoning it's been about since late 93...Jungle is at least 3 years older than that too..
however theres a massive difference between todays jump up dnb like pendulum which is hitting the charts and the drum and bass of the old school! Music evolves and reputations/situations change
Punk was a musical revolution that inspired a generation and changed popular culture forever.
DnB was hardly the same cultural/musical force.
But some of it sounds great.
Thank God.
I was starting to worry no one was going to point this out.
if it's anything it's the new Jungle
I pointed it out bloody ages ago!
Well, I love D'n'B and I think punk is fucking shite.. not sure what that adds to the debate, but that's besides the point.
