Europe has good taste in music. Example: Almost anytime I watch Top Gear, I notice them using great songs that I recognize from my own collection that you almost never hear played here in the US. Stuff like Prodigy or Crystal Method, for example.

And The Allman Brothers Band for the intro music.

In Ireland "Dub" means someone who is from Dublin. If you support Dublin in Hurling or Gaelic Football you'll shout "Up the Dubs".

KAMOULOX !

Seriously, this thread looks like a juxtaposition of random words to me. Can someone translate ?

Hopefully I can explain without making things more confusing...

There's the DUB package manager for D: https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub

And apparently (although I guess I never noticed this) the meta-data
for each package is called a "record" (a common, albeit old, term for
a database entry).

But, turns out "dub record" is a pun (whether it's intentional, I don't know). Because "dub" is a type of music: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_%28music%29

So the dual meaning: "dub record" (matadata for the dub package manager)
and "dub record" (a vinyl pressing of dub music).

Being a pun, it elicited a groan ;)

(Speaking of things that elicit groans...)

There's a relatively recent derivative of the "dub" music genre called "dubstep" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep>. More recently, "dubstep" begat a derived genre of...random noises...called "brostep". The quintessential "brostep" recording person is probably "Skrillex". This is what Skrillex sounds like, along with the reaction it typically gets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Mti91l2Sc

That's probably one of his *better* tracks, actually. Basically,
take the random noises that radio stations like to stick between
songs and extend it to fill a CD. If you accidentally stumble upon the
beginnings of a beat or melody, cease immediately. That's basically it.
Apparently he won a Grammy for that.

Still, at least it's not Taylor Swift.

Slight disclaimer: It's not actually called like that, but Russel implied that this would make sense.

However, the loose resemblance of an audio cassette in case of the DUB logo and a 7" record in case of the vibe.d logo does fall in the same category I guess. ;)

But seriously, it's a pity that "record" is not an adequate name for a DUB package -- calling it "package" always makes for confusion wrt. D packages/modules. So if anyone has a better term that would be awesome...

Regarding the dub music genre, it has to be said that although it is the root for dubstep and in turn ... brostep, it's usually not really comparable result-wise and I have a strong desire to avoid putting the word "step" somewhere in proximity of "DUB" ;)

Oh right, and I certainly agree. A music genere (or subgenre), even if
originally derived from another one, is it's own unique thing, separate
from its original influences. Rock is considered to have derived, at
least in part, from blues and folk, and yet none of those are likely to
be confused with each other. "Musique concrete" was pretty
much *deliberately* random/arbitrary sounds, and not something I
personally like, but it gave rise to industrial, and in turn,
"industrial rock", "industrial metal", "industrial dance" which are
some of my favorites.

Of course, there's sooo damn many different subgenres and cross genres, etc these days, it can be hard to have any idea what's what.

Heh :) Shucks, and here I was hoping for a NeXT port!

So if I add DStep as a package in dub we get: dubstep :)
