It made sad when I realised that the UK is no longer creating multiple new musical genres every decade.
- House Music: Emerged ~1983–1985 (Chicago). I was 1.
- Hardcore: Emerged (~1988–1992, UK) I was 5
- Jungle: Emerged ~1991–1994 (UK). I was 9.
- **Drum & Bass: **~1994–1996 (UK). I was 12.
- UK Garage: Emerged ~1994–1996 (UK). I was 12.
- Dubstep: Emerged ~1998–2002 (UK). I was 17.
I’m now 42 and there has not been anything “new” in electronic music.
My Soundcloud is full of new music I love. And within each genre, especially Drum & Bass, there is immense variation and incorporation of other styles - culminating with Goldie’s orchestral performance of ‘Timeless’
Of course there is huge overlap between genres (my mate correctly described early dubstep and just “slowed down dnb”)
