Urban Hat€monger ?

It depends on how you approach it.

If I was to listen to a particularly good UK Grime album , which happens to be a trend at the moment. I'm not listening to it because i'm following the UK Grime scene. I'd be listening to it because it's something new that happens to be available that people are saying good things about. When I say 'people' I don't mean media & record company hype , I mean people who's opinion I respect and who are open minded enough to give any album in genre a chance.

I remember in 2000/2001 when the whole Garage Rock trend happened.
Now I happen to be a fan of garage rock , was before this trend started ,and I still am now that it's long since gone.
Did I follow that trend? Well i'll say no because most of the bands in that movement were total sh*t and I hardly listened to any of them.
So I would say that even though I listened to that music when it was a trend I don't consider myself to have followed it.
