what are you on about dubstep was great, and a load of the writing about it at the time transformed it into something that seemed genuinely exciting. its a bit hard to make a judgement about whether all that egging on was a good thing or a bad thing in the end, maybe it meant the music itself was always going to be disappointing and we were all going to be left with this slight feeling that we'd had the wool pulled over the eyes. but it was a fun thing to engage with at the time
weirdly skream holds up for me now, whereas digital mystikz who i thought were pure gods at the time feels a bit cheesy to me now. the jamaican thing is probably what's responsible for both those stages of feeling.
obs grime was the better cousin but that's because 00s grime is best music in the world everything else pales by comparison
