So I was playing Pacman recently and I suddenly realised something;
You spend your whole time in a darkened room, munching pills and listening to ******, repetative music.

Reminds me of a Drum and Bass club near where I live. I guess Pacman still prevails as the better pastime (unless you play that obscure japanese version that was banned for causing epeleptic seizures) as you don't spazz-out and faint in a gutter somewhere.

Actually, in Drum and Bass's defence...


...Nope, sorry.

I assume drum and bass clubs are just dance clubs heavy on the beat and light on everything else? Never heard the term before.

Drum'n'bass is a style of electronic music that comprises mostly of drums, and, well, bass.

And yes, I find it really **** too, but it's really popular in the UK and has been for ages.

Quite prevailent in Bristol in the UK.

A usual night out at to a Drum and Bass club involves taking an unspecified quantity of coke, E or ketamine (or a cocktail of all three), drinking the cheapest drink you can find, mong out in a dark room listening to horrendous music, then come home and continue to snort lines of various white powders untill 6 in the morning.

Personally I would rather ********** with a cheese grater.

D&B is one of two divergent paths that hardcore music took. As hardcore evolved, in Sweden it took on hyper tones and became known as "gabber" or "happy hardcore" -- super fast paced, speeded up voices, general cheesiness. (I freely admit that my iPod is soaked in gabber.) In the UK they rebelled against gabber and tried to restore hardcore to its darker nature, and began to emphasize the heavier rhythm elements instead -- hence "drum and bass."

D&B is also has no shame and steals from every musical traditional across the globe, making it more eclectic than most new age music in some respects.

Argument for Drum and Bass music.

Edit: The song actually starts at 1:05.

A. You mean the vocals start at 1:05.
B. OH GOD THAT ******* BEAT.
C. This is clearly an argument against D&B.

Pendulum doesn't count as real DnB - it actually uses melodies (and in fairness, I don't mind This song by them.)

And I absolutely love Hardcore, or more what Happy Hardcore evolved into in the last 5-10 years (in england at least). People like Styles, Breeze, Hixxy, Ultrabeat etc. I haven't heard much of the 90's proper Happy Hardcore.

Although I heard some amazing trance in Melphina's (I think...) Solo serket video. Think he's either Dutch or Swedish. This.

Which part of Bristol? I live in Clifton, which I think has regular chav hangings, ot at least it should for the bloody rent price. Nice european-cafe culture type thing in the village centre though. And the corrie tap.

Wasn't there some type of "Bristol Sound" that was all the rage for 5 minutes in the 90s? Was this it?

I concur. Druggies ODing = Natural selection.
In fact, chav gun crim should just be dissmissed as natural selection and left alone (unless they start venturing out and shooting humans).

Back when everyone in Britain was still rich by EU standards, DnB was a good way to accumulate wealth for us Mainlanders.

What is this? Give an old joke a home week? I saw that on t-shirts back in the '90's.

Anyway like all genres of music, theres some good and some bad. I find drum and bass pretty fu'cking good....sometimes. But then again I've got a really good stereo and i smoke some really good pot too.

I have The Album from Ultrabeat and I like a lot of Styles, Breeze, and Hixxy mp3s. I like 'em all. D:

"Real" DnB is... eh. I don't typically seek out that genre. Back in my IIDX days, I didn't mind a few of the loosely DnB tracks like Photongenic or Karma. A lot of them were crap, though.

It was referred to as "Jungle" during it's very brief popularity in the US. Prodigy, while not really of the genre, was the most frequently referred to group here in the US.

Wait, people besides me on alla know who styles, breeze, hixxy, and ultrabeat are? Holy sh*t.

If you like them, you probably like Happy Hardcore and UK Hardcore. In which case I'm inviting you both the the best rave evar to happen on the US east cost in a long time. http://www.raversonly.com/index.php?showtopic=7149&st=0 Scroll down past the thank you things to get to information about candyball 7.

All of what you just said reminds me of a song I was just listening to, I'll try to find it again and upload it for you, because it almost matches what you said word for word.
