I didn't quite get what people were referring to when mentioning "grime
sublow" so I went a-searching
I found this on Rephlex's website
_________________________
Grime. Sublow. Dubstep. It's Music. Different people call it different
things, depending on when they discovered it. In the 80's, maybe it was
House, Techno and Electro. In the 90's it was UK-G, Drum and Bass, Breaks
or whatever. Now there are so many terms for it that the journalists can?t
pidgeon-hole it any more. This is a good thing - it's music. Moody music.
Multifunctional, multifaceted music created by Humans with Brains, Hearts,
Machines & Electricity. Music that?s great for dancing to in clubs, or
submerging yourself within your headphones, your car, your home, wherever.
It's instrumental dance music, but it's the perfect forum for the best MC's
and vocalists. We at Rephlex call it Grime to publicise to the people at
large, outside of the specialist world of it's producers. The purists might
debate the name, but while they do that, crews around the globe are uniting
in this strong & fresh dance movement. In this age of Information
Technology, people are able to easily find real quality that they actually
want, without being spoon-fed compromised product. Now, it is a time of
change and the soundtrack is Grime.

Sorry but what kind of BS is Rephlex spewing here?
One minute they call "Grime" just music and that we should forget about the
name just as long as journalists are thrown off the mark (which they
aren't)
Then they say
>>We at Rephlex call it Grime to publicise to the people at large, outside
of the specialist world of it's producers.
so they made up a f*cking name to to sell the sh*t to a whole new era of
people who don't want to identify with UK Garage or 2-Step or Dancehall,
etc?
Then they follow up with this statement
>>The purists might debate the name, but while they do that, crews around
the globe are uniting in this strong & fresh dance movement.
Who was debating the name? They're the ones who came up with a new one.
What the hell is so fresh about it? Sounds like a darker version of 2-Step.
The emperor is naked once more.
This is the best part right here
>>Now, it is a time of change and the soundtrack is Grime.
I thought it was "House, Techno, and Electro" in the 80s and "UK-G, Drum
and Bass, Breaks or whatever" in the 90's?
So why the new name chaps?
