Breakbeat is real music for people who have over-dosed on the hyperactive and unnatural tempo of DnB, had enough of being bummed by mullet-sporting disco gays at Electroclash parties, can't stand the generic dross that is House music, who's ears have stopped bleeding from all the badly produced Rock n Roll and those diabetics in need of an insulin injection after gobbling too many sweets at the candybar called Trance Music.

You're informed, articulate, un-cliched, fashionable and street-smart. You like breakbeat

BreakBeat (sometimes BreakBeats or breaks) is a term used to describe a collection of sub-genres of electronic music, usually characterized by the use of a non-straightened 4/4 drum pattern (as opposed to the steady beat of house or trance). These rhythms may be characterized by their intensive use of syncopation and poly-rhythms, which are prominent in all music of African origin, including African American music although the actual instruments used in BreakBeat music makes it more closely related to Technoand other forms of electronic music than African or African-American genres.
