“There are all the offsprings of people who are influenced by punk. It sounds completely different - but it's still rock 'n' roll.

“The techniques are all means of dealing with one simple idea: She wrote it. (That is, the "wrong" person--in this case, female--has created the "right" value--i.e., art.) Denial of Agency: She didn't write it. Pollution of Agency: She shouldn't have written it. Double Standard of Content: Yes, but look what she wrote about. False Categorizing: She is not really she [an artist] and it is not really it [serious, of the right genre, aesthetically sound, important, etc.] so how could "she" have written "it"? Or simply: Neither "she" nor "it" exists (simple exclusion).” WritingLooksMeanPersonsArtImportantIdeasArtistValuesSoundSimpleCasesWrittenSeriousStandardsFemaleCriticismTechniqueDenialGenreAgencyEtcSexismPollutionExclusionDouble StandardLiterary CriticismWrong PersonSimple IdeasCategorizing Book:How to Suppress Women's Writing Source: How to Suppress Women's Writing
“Basically, there were three aspects of dub that influenced dubstep. The most important was playing the instrumental versions of vocal garage tracks, which was a little like what dub was to reggae - the instrumental of a full vocal.The second was dub as a methodology, which, for me, is apparent in all dance music: manipulating sound to create impossible sonic spaces using reverb, echo and such. The third is the influence of the genre called dub. (It became a cliché actually, through sampling old Jamaican films and soundtracks, and adding vocal samples.)” LittlesImportantFilmThreeSoundSpaceImpossibleInfluenceAspectThirdsTrackVersionsGenreEchoesVocalGarageSampleSoundtracksReggaeMethodologyDance MusicJamaicansSamplingDubstep Author:Kode9
“I've always thought that "punk" wasn't really a genre. My band started in Olympia where K Records was and K Records put out music that didn't sound super loud and aggressive. And yet they were punk because they were creating culture in their own community instead of taking their cue from MTV about what was real music and what was cool. It wasn't about a certain fashion. It was about your ideology, it was about creating a community and doing it on your own and not having to rely on, kinda, "The Man" to brand you and say that you were okay.” MenRealCertainCultureSoundCommunityRecordsFashionHe ManBandCreatingOkayIdeologyBrandsGenreLoudRelyAggressivePunkMtvReal Music Author:Kathleen Hanna

“My music doesn't really sound like punk music, it's acoustic. And it doesn't really sound like folk music 'cause I'm thrashing too hard and emoting a little too much for the sort of introspective, respectful, sort-of folk genre thing.
