It ain't hip hop.

No doubt it's punk rock! We can include classic rock and such.
Rolling Stones being the best rock band in history!

Interesting. Never heard the term D & B before. Hadda look it up. Would Enigma be considered that genre? Liked the few examples I found and love Enigma for chill music times....

Uh, no. I guess there are similarities.

Here are some classic DnB tracks:







I changed my answer to DnB too. Didn't see it first time around.

UK is and always will be the king of dance music.

I nearly added jungle and dubstep to the list as well, but thought they were a bit niche.

And when I say dubstep I mean actual dubstep, not Skrillex shit:

I rarely listen to Dubstep but agree Skrillex is awful minus a couple of songs. UK dance music is where it's at, and generally we've innovated lots of popular music types. Grime doesn't really exist anywhere else but has been breaking into the US gradually. Dizzee initially, then Wiley and now Skepta.

Lots of quality DnB comes from the Netherlands now too.
