I agree, I used ''dub'' because it has been referenced to as so. Apparently the proper genre name is dub-step, but again I don't really concur with that either. My point is that there are many artist who have come before that have done dark and grimey reggae music, especially the dub genre. It's not that I hate Burial's music I just hate it when people superhype things without background history and this isn't directed toward you jimbrim, its directed toward those who know little about reggae/dub/dj era and pass off Burial as this new sensation that has transformed reggae music.
That's all.
