i sort of know what he's going on about. as a teenager in the 90s, music seemed to be a precursor to a more metropolitan, understanding society. if people could be a bit more open in their tastes and think about the culture they consumed, what it meant, etc, then why not open up politically as well?

although i think reynolds is more about music as an agent of change, whereas i'm thinking in terms as music as a sign of what's to come, the soundtrack running a bit ahead.

LOL @ this: "the characterization of dubstep as a kind of riddimatic and bass-ic comfort food for ex-junglists seems painfully on point. "

As ever, Simon Reynolds refuses to acknowledge that there are actually people out there who, gasp, didn't live through the 90s on account of being 20 years younger than him.

I still believe, and just when I'm mad, starving hysterically naked, dragging myself through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix.
