This. I began thinking this about dance music back in the 90’s, a lot of the genres are only minimally different than each other. This is illustrated on discogs – a lot of releases will be several genres at once-- “speedcore, breakcore, gabber, noise, experimental.” It’s like a selling point to make people think it’s “all new” when it’s just a variation on the same thing. “We got a new sound, it’s called fartcore!”
Is this dubstep? Not exactly, but there are enough similarities, and yet it’s from 1999 and from the US.
