Comment on Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music

The Brostep entry alone is worth visiting the site to read.

Some of the writing is funny, some is distracting from its purpose. The Dubstep entry for instance spends most of its time bashing brostep and skrillex which is a shame as it glosses over the first few years of interesting music before it devolved.

It never devolved; the mainstream split off from the genre, which remains underground and still has a couple dozen labels actively producing music, as it has for the last decade.

The genre is actually evolving constantly and there's a fair amount of interesting material and new artists. But it's back to being a niche much like jungle is nowadays.

Not really. Bashing someone because they like a style of music is one of the lowest of low. inb4 it's just a banter

Yeah, but Skrillex! He's bashing the music, saying it's garbage isn't exactly controversial, it's ripe for skewering. And it's supposed to be his opinion; if you like Skrillex the site might not be for you

Same for McProg
