the dubstep thread

For real...not liking electronic dance music (and yes, that "wide spectrum" all fits in there) doesn't mean you have a narrow music taste...

Do you realize how wide of a spectrum there is between dubstep and trance? You basically just said "I hate any music created electronically". This is funny. This excludes "song-based" electronic music (e.g., Passion Pit, Phoenix, Foster the People, Madonna (last 10 years), Cut Copy, LCD Soundsystem, etc.) and a good portion of hip-hop (the influence electronic music has had on hip-hop over the last 2-3 years is undeniable...it seems like every third song features a beat by David Guetta).

So, really, you don't like all types of music at all. Indeed, you like very few types of music at all. Ryan Adams may be the only artist you can listen to at this point. Haha. Luckily for you he puts out an album every 3 weeks. Unluckily for you, 75 percent of all those albums is garbage.

Nice post, buddy.

So because I don't like anything that resembles that type of music you try and make out to be narrow-minded.

You should take a Xanax buddy.

You probably think Japanese and Koreans are the same, too, huh?

Shocked you don't have a slew of irrelevant statistics to somehow justify your usual moronic position.

It's funny, you would think that my OP slammed that style of music and anyone who listened to it. I said to each their own, didn't mean to slap the glowsticks out of your hands.

Take her easy. I don't care what you think about dubstep. Your sarcastic meter is broken, and now you've said things you can't take back. :pepper:

I realize that I'm very late on this, but I am just now discovering dubstep. What's embarrassing, is that I am a DJ, myself. I do high school parties and wedding receptions...stuff like that.
I just had a bunch of kids request Skrillex at a middle school dance, so I had to look it up. I wish I would have known enough about this to have gone to his show in Knoxville last week. I bet that was awesome.

I can't stand dubstep. Maybe it's fun to get stoned to, but it's horrible overall imo.

It's really terrible music, but sometimes you don't want to listen to music. Sometimes you want to listen to.... whatever dubstep is.

I'm really surprised Nerd-Vol hasn't seen this thread yet. He's all about the wobble wobble fart stuff.

Artists like Skrillex, Flux Pavilion get categorized into dubstep but really I don't know if it's proper to call it dubstep. The genre is so fuzzy now thanks to it's growing mainstream success but I guess that's what happens when the lines were fuzzy to begin with. Ask anyone who is familiar with the history of UK garage or UK bass and they will probably categorize Skrillex, Rusko, Doctor P and the like not as dubstep but as "brostep". But really though "brostep" is just a way for dubstep enthusiasts to avoid the shame of having to be associated with all the recent heavy emergence of dubstep listeners. It's not brostep, it's dubstep because people largely perceive it as being dubstep. So with that said...

Some classic dubstep artists that I still love listening to:

Burial
Rustie
Horsepower Productions
Skream
Benga
Coki
Shackleton
Kode 9
Digital Mystikz
2562
Nit Grit

Then for some "brostep"... :)

Skrillex
i SQUARE
Borgore
Dubba Johnny
Doctor P
Bass Nectar
Torqux N Twist
Nero
Tiborg
etc

What about it is a remix? It's just a crappy dubstep song with 2 or 3 sound bytes from FtP stuck in awkwardly.

The first minute of the song, I would classify as a remix of FtP, but it's anything but dubstep. From that point on, the song is pretty bad, IMO.

Actually, the first minute or so of the song I rather like.

You really don't need to explain yourself. You made it clear in your first post that you did not like it. And in your second post you made it painfully clear that you do not understand the definition of a remix.

A remix mixes the song with other beats. The first minute of the song is some sort of techno remix, but not a dubstep remix. Then it transitions into a completely different dubstep song, with a short 10 second clip of the original song stuck in there at one point. It is definitely not a remix.

Dubstep hurts my brain to think that people thought it was a good idea. How is it so mainstream?

Okay, cool, but you are still wrong. It fits the bill as a remix. And if you have listened to more than a dozen electronic remixes then you you should already know this! The transitions in the song are not difficult to follow. Notice the "bass drops", "rewinds", heavy sample use, and the wobbley bass? All common in electronic remixes. Now as to whether you want to categorize the remix as a variation of dubstep, brostep or techno, that is for you to decide.

Saw Bass Nectar last February and he absolutely melted the ***** speakers. It was sick.

Rusko is playing here next spring but I'm not terribly impressed with him.
