re: grime's cavernousness: to me, grime's core sound rests on almost out-of-tune, wobbly bass and really lurching rhythm patterns, best summed up by, say, plasticman or mark one. but i suppose that's more dupstep, in some sense. then again, in drum'n'bass, i always preferred tech-step, so maybe it's just me that's looking to define the genre by its darkest strains.
re: strawmen & 2005 in techno - obviously i can't say what you may have heard people saying, but i don't think i heard anything like that (aside from, yeah, a litany of complaints about the daft punk album); maybe i just hang out with shameless boosters, but everyone i know shared my boundless enthusiasm, in real and netspace alike. and judging by what i've heard so far, 2006 is going to be even better. if people were saying things like that, chuck, fuck'em!
