So presumably what your saying is that 2-step IS a cultural force?
Yer avin a barf aintcha? So going to a nightclub in yer beamer dressed
in moschino, ordering champagne and partaking of a few lines of the
white stuff is doing something that is a 'cultural force'?

I listen to the pirates every weekend and don't hear any musical
techniques that haven't been employed by d&b producers. In fact, speed
garage was more adventurous on this score because the extreme
syncopation that characterised a lot of the genre appears to have
mainly disappeared from the 2-step scene.
Please put me right and name some if you think I'm incorrect.

Lets face it, this is the sort of over-analysing bollocks that helped
to destroy d&b - lets not do it to 2-step as well.
