Donk
VBS.tv has posted an amusing new series of videos, exposing us to the world of ‚”Donk” music. It’s basically a super speedy, techno-driven, subpar hip hop generating from young folks in Northern England. The Donk scene smacks of a certain je ne sais quoi, that element of sheer trash which can only emanate from special people – like nightclubbers in Seaside Heights, NJ, or fans of House of Pain gone way raw. ‚”Everybody’s scared of it,” according to one Donk enthusiast. And I have to concur that I’m terrified.
VBS.tv calls it ‚”the absolute bottom of British musical culture,” but we’ll leave it to you to decide:
It’s just like gabber (or gabba), a style of techno which originated in Rotterdam (Netherlands) in the early 90′s. Gabber is one of the lamest exports to come out of my country of birth ever!
What we see here is just a bunch of small-town inbred retards on meth picking up on something that was put out of it’s misery well over a decade ago.
I know, it’s a harsh judgment call, but I’m making it.

PS What’s up with crunk?
Smacking down both Northern England and Seaside Heights. Well, kids will be kids…and when you get a bunch of people together that are late teens/early twenties, give em some booze, mix in some way to listen to or some way to “make” music – you end up with all kinds of crazy stuff.
