i think some of the ignorance is racism and some of it's naivete.
for example, people calling brostep and complextro and synthcore "dubstep" when it really isn't.

the copycats never knew "dub" and of course didn't realise that true dubstep came from dub reggae.

the junglists could educate people about it, but that seems to be missing lately.
and corporate america never teaches anybody anything about music history unless it's an infomercial.

sorry if i sound too cynical.
but reggae and roots music are awesome.

i posted a message about roots music on dogsonacid (DOA) and they laughed at me not even knowing what it is.

certain people flock to ska and punk but they don't connect to the sources
that seems to happen a lot in pop culture--people forget to study the true roots
