goofy sound design for sweaty kyles who drink monster energy, this is probably some type of tentpole for the bass music generation even though they forgot to put any brostep in it and hybrid trap wouldn't come for a while, it had some effect on the burgeoning neurofunk scene for sure, but mostly it's a classic drum and bass vibe going on with none of that Atmospheric liquid shit interfering, it's the evolution of the kemistry & storm mix.

despite these goofy descriptions, something about this is just so impactful and disturbing compared to whatever shit you listened to playing Roblox, maybe it's just the massive subbass put under everything, or it could be the designer sound design that made them stars back in 2005. still, tracks like diplodocus and even soul purge still have the dumb fun aspect going on, connecting them to the silly bass of caspa and rusko, and all of this is ahead of Skrillex's global gamer dominance, lending it serious gamer cred that neither Mountain Dew or Doritos can beat.
