True, but I think as well its ok to, in any genre, have some reserved feelings for the stuff that's just not cutting it - and there's a lot of it out there. The way it presents itself it the production will seem shotty, the emotional angle will seem incongruent, it'll seem like the person making it over all doesn't have vision or at least doesn't have much of their own vision for what they're trying to do. Yeah, you'll have stuff that's underproduced in a stylized way and that's different, particularly when you can tell that it's an angle they're deliberately working and where the emotionality works well with it. For me though, seems like the genres that I gravite toward though just have the most of what I love, and particularly with drum & bass I can quite often turn on a d&b radio station and turn it right back off just because I can't stand what they're playing.
