Yes you do.
I'm not a big DnB head, just using the aforementioned Pendulous as an example of hypocrisy and selling out.

It happens all the time, though
whether it's pressure from the record company to sound more commercial or the artists moving away from the scene they started out in. Bob Marley is a good example; his records stopped selling in Jamaica pretty much as soon as he started using overdubs of rock style guitar riffs etc. Most reggae fans would call pretty much every track on "Legend" commercial shit.

Yeah, but you get the impression that Bob Marley actually would listen to his own music.
Whereas with Pendulum's junglist background, I very much doubt they would rate their own tunes. Changing one's style in itself isn't selling out- Primal Scream, for example, have changed style loads, but never done it to sell records.

I can smell fakery a mile off and it smells of shit.

Dunno
I always had the impression that a bunch of Australians making D&B records ten years on from when that scene was in any way fresh or relevant were a shower of spasticated shitcunts anyway. Still, fuck em, I'm off to create the first pubstep record. It's gonna be MASSIVE.

I'm almost certain
that Pendulum were or were in a metal band before going DnB. I'm prepared to stand corrected on that.

On another note, is your username a musical reference also? If it is, then it is an awesome one.

Just about every junglist I know started out listening to metal, and still do so.
And every DJ I know is into all sorts of things- but the metal stuff that Pendulum do is terrible. If the stuff that they did was good then I would have no beef with them. As it stands, what they did was stop making very good DnB and start making piss poor nu metal, all the while making out that they have 'grown out of' DnB when they make teenybopper, puerile shite.

It would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Metallist junglists?
What's this fuckery? All the people I used to go raving with at Speed, AWOL, Sunday Roast etc were ex-hip hop heads. Still, I suppose it explains why D&B got heavier and duller after the scene exploded circa 1996. Still, metallist junglists, well I never *lights pipe, shakes head*

Maybe it's a Scottish thing.
