    Took a long time to finally feature coffee-genocider’s ancestor’s Buick. Problem and solution is absolutely in-character for her.

    (Even though 2000 is a few years too early for Dubstep)

      Dubstep originated in the late 90s in London. Kathy’s greatn-grandmother is just a protohipster.

        Yes but no. Modern dubstep sounds very little like 90s or 2000s dubstep because Skrillex changed the definition of the genre.

        Really? Wikipedia says Dubstep started in the early 2000s. I had to check before posting because I wasn’t sure. Is it that Dubstep originated from something similar in the 1990s, or is Wikipedia just wrong?

          From the wikipedia article on dubstep under the subheading History - 1999-2002 Origins:

          The early sounds of proto-dubstep originally came out of productions during 1999–2000 by producers such as Oris Jay,[17] El-B,[12] Steve Gurley[12] and Zed Bias.[30][31] Neil Jolliffe of Tempa

          That could be almost two full years before the Millennium Gate.

            That reinforces what I originally said.

            I absolutely buy that Shannon was into underground music, already being a PC gamer, but modern dubstep wouldn’t be a commercially-printed album available to the mainstream for a while longer.

            …Now that I think about it, the most unbelievable thing about this is that her car has a working CD player. :)
