haha. I can kinda see what you're saying. I have this impression that they are compulsive aggressive people that are really into cars and other slick shit like that.

they're into CARS? Oh god the horror! They must be stopped!
Not because they like the music, but because they are all assholes for some reason.
discuss.
i agree with thsi guy. every drum and bass night ive ever been to (and d +b seems to still be quite big in Bristol) is full of aggressive stoners. jerks.

It's not about drum and bass, or any instruments, it's about good music or bad music. But it's true that bass is the backbone of the beat, there is some hiphop tracks without bass, it sounds like something missing ...

I liked it for a minute when I first heard it in 1993 / 1994 - I guess when it became mainstream. Like all immediately rewarding, super catchy things, you totally loved it, then got sick of it real quick.
Are there other genres like this? Virulently catchy, then quickly played out?
a lot of kids in dnb are either a trying to dj it or be producers in it. it is rare that you find a casual listener and a lot of the kids take that shit too seriously
i like some drum & bass. maybe it's played or whatever, i don't really care. i find that d&b is much like other dance music genres that people deem flash-in-the-pan - there are only a few a handful of tracks that are good. the rest is garbage. but hey, i guess that's music nowadays.
i'm sure most of you folks can't get with it. it's not for most people.
but i kinda agree, folks who strictly listen to drum & bass seem a little scheisty or mentally imbalanced, but they tend to think the music itself is "intelligent". last time i saw some kids that came from some drum & bass night they looked like crusty punk meets goth meets 90s raver. definitely not the type of people i would lend a dollar to.

Being in France near UK where and when the movement was strong, most of "normal" people, and especially girls, moved away from it when d'n'b became more dark and harder, all the hardcore "baldhead style" Ed rush & Optical deviance of d'n'b killed the mainstream potential of it. Examples of former d'n'b lovers who jumped into more "sexier" and groovier new styles of music at the end of the 90s (I would say UK garage or broken beat) are numerous, the obvious example is Gilles Peterson. Most of people (men and women) who were deep into it basically stopped to go in d'n'b parties because it was packed with men-only ravers and junkies looking like Nosferatu. The evolution is pretty the same as HIP HOP in the 90s, when girls were fed up of gangsta rap and the sells and interest began to decrease. d'n'b just don't have (and probably will never have) a Timbaland or Pharrel Williams.

Didn't he switch to D&B because he thought hip-hop fans were assholes?

I know a lot of people in general, one or two of them are bound to be into something.
