It's time to roll up my sleeves and inject some hot opinions into this thread
>The only connection Pendulum really has with Drum n Bass is the two-step drum kick which, if you've come here from Jumpup, is monotonous garbage. But it's not just the two-step kick that warrants their inclusion, it's their particular brand of it: Very tight and punchy kick hovering in the lower midrange so it doesn't interfere with the bass, and layered snares that are so tight they have neither high nor bottom end. Everything is a super compressed screaming midrange bowl of gumbo soup with this music.

>That's what Pendulum genre is: The Michael Bay of Drum n Bass. 16 bars up, 16 bars down, bassline breakdown bassline breakdown, dook-chak two-step kick all night long. It's loud, obnoxious, occasionally impressive, but ultimately dull, soulless, and run off an assembly line devoid of any warmth or ingenuity. Every track is a carbon copy of each other. This is fast food DnB. It's not a culture, it's a mass-produced product.
exploitation. Drum n Bass is dead and Pendulum killed it.
