And I know how Glitch Mob is, a well. They are fun. My best friend, whom I went to see Banectar with, is super into this stuff, as in super-super, and every now and again, something stick! I also super love Bluetech, and I'm not normally into the more down-tempo stuff. Well, that was off-topic. I just don't want to go to work. @JimEJim:disqus  Which is why I said “dubstep-inspired” but, as someone who knows a tad about the scene but i still looking in from the outside: It’s EDM, honey. :)

It's like if we suddenly started calling some contemporary subculture "Macaronis," and then everyone who studies 18th c. culture would be screwed.

Living a simple lifestyle helps the world too, so I commend you for that. I'm not saying fair trade is <i>sufficient</i>, but when you do buy things from developing countries, you can do so in a way that makes a positive difference. I don't see how it's at all constructive to make fun of that. Fiar traid is not just for coffee. Living a simple lifestyle helps the world too, so I commend you for that.
