Is it worth making?

Recently in conversation, the topic of reintroducing old styles (such as jungle into dubstep) has appeared quite a lot. The question arises 'why produce something that's already be done before?'.

My answer to this question......
New generations of music listeners and producers shouldn't be deprived of what others' have had before, once re-introduced it is never the same, and any contemporary stylistic convention can be found in old tracks and therefore the sound is never really truly 'new'.

What about the 18 year old dubstepper who has no idea of from the journey it came? These 'new' listeners could go back and play old tracks, yes, but in this environment where there is just so much information, artists, music genres and styles bombarding the listener, it takes time and energy to find paths that take you back (unless they have been discovered for you). And how do you know what to look for if you have never been exposed to it? Once a 'style' has been introduced into the new releases, it becomes a lot more accessible.

And once realized it has the power to be re-contextualized, developed and changed to create new and progressive sounds and styles. Contemporary conversations often revolve around the idea that in this day and age of mechanical reproduction, there is no original, once reproduced the original 'aura' (as Walter Benjamin called it) or feeling of the original is gone. But I tend to think every new track (even if the difference to another track is small) has the potential to lead to something else, and to transform what went before it.

The Dubstep sound/ genre... is it new? I'd propose that it isn't new but the context of the music and the way it has been labelled and grouped has created a 'genre' or feeling. Go back and listen to some of those mid-90s tracks .......... from before the birth of the category 'dubstep', tell me what you find?........... Dubstep?
