This Whole Nu-Skool Vs Florida BS!

[matéo]

Ok it seems most Break lovers have already jumped this bandwagon(Hating Florida Breaks) I too was once like this. Anyways not everything that comes out of florida sucks and there is a large amount of Breaks which u may coin the term flordia for that are just domestic releases produced all over North America. I think that these subgenre names for music should be dropped. Why must we have a special word for the music we play or listen to. Is it that bad just playing "breaks" I understand that promoters etc. may need to varify what kind of music will be played but overall a djs mixtape will tell you what kind of variation of music he plays. Rennie Pilgrem coined the term "Nu skool" and from my understanding it was just a marketing ploy to sell the different type of sound he was breeding. People copied it and they to would coin Nu skool. Now we have this big Nu skool phenom when most of it does'nt even sound like the old TCR stuff that rennie and friends put out. It is obviously hard to tlak about this without contridicitng myself for example "I can't seem to stand Jump- up jungle" but then again jump up basically describes the kind of music which is played not like Nuskool, or Florida. Funky breaks, Uk breaks, Big Beat Breaks they all work for me but some of these genres just don't make sene. Anyways if you don't like a certain sound then judge it based on the elements which are in the tracks not by the term that is coined for it.

Im baked and not going to look for Mistakes so suck it.

The genre, "florida breaks" is stuff like tony faline, and huda hudia. Its for the most part cheese. Of course not all of it comes FROM florida, but thats the genre's name. There's nothing else it could be called. Its not a small sub genre either. Its BIG.

Why classify genres? Why classify different animals? Or plants? TO KEEP IT ORGANISED. Think about record shopping for example. It would be a bitch to find records in store if there were no sub genres. Not everyone likes florida breaks. Not everyone like nu school. Not everyone likes hip hop. This way record shopping takes about a quarter of the time.

One more thing. It wasnt a "marketing ploy" to coin nu school breaks the name that it has. It just makes sense. Its a new genre of breaks....different from all the rest.

If you really wanna think about it in depth Florida breaks is not a Subgenre. Its a name given to the sound to easily distinquish the difference b/w normal funky breaks or cheasy funky breaks. Florida breaks are Funkybreaks. Now does Florida describe the music which we are tlaking about. No. And some may say that funky breaks doesnt even describe it but what is more fitting? I would have to say funky. In drum n Bass we have jump up, Tech step, and a whoole wack of other sub genres that make sense. Or House we have Progressive, Hard, Funky, and the list goes on.
Can we not have a breakbeat scene like this. Can we forget about where the music is made and actually just describe it the way we hear it.

First of all maybe I didnt make too much sense while writing all that down but when i said Why do we have these stupid subgenres I meant Nu skool or Florida. I have seen breaks described as something other then these two terms and actually it helps me a lot better when searchign for records. And I mean who is the deciding factor when it comes to naming a breaks choon nu skool. Just becuz its from the uk and has a grimey bassline that makes it nu skool? Rennies sound was very different from what nu skool breaks is now. I don't really understand how most of the music out there can be called nu skool or should I say "Fool Skool"

One more thing. It wasnt a "marketing ploy" to coin nu school breaks the name that it has. It just makes sense. Its a new genre of breaks....different from all the rest. [/b]

It was a great way to sell his sound.

funky breaks is too braod of a term for the sound you're decribing..because theres funky UK breaks which have more of a nu skool influence, there are also nuskool breaks which are funky...how do you differeniate? other then to call em florida, or as i prefer "cheesey shit breaks"

i dunno man ive heard some funky tracks that would be called nuskool, cuz it has a funky grimey bassline, i didn't think it was possible but it is...or maybe i was just too high to tell.

[dfltr]

the one thing that ties all types of breaks together is that no matter what style it is, every time i hear it i think "christ, just hit 45 already".

kidding... Fluid and J-Mar put on a set that actually made me like some breaks.

man it never ends.........

i am in total agreeance with dave on this one,

[Sykonee]

Why is it so difficult for people to understand that Florida-nu-tech-2step-blah-blah-yakkitybore breaks is NOT a genre!? It's a STYLE of a genre of music. If it was a genre, then why doesn't it have it's own independent shelf space in every local music store? 'Nuff said.

^^^ also known as a subgenre?
