Dear I say...... dubstep?

So ive noticed that ”dubstep” has become the ”in-thing”. You hear it on the radio, artist like Skrillex (ugh) have won Grammies, its on commercials, etc etc.

Well what does everyone else feel about it?

Personally (I hate sounding like a hipster) I cant stand the stuff that people call music today but I especially can't stand DUBSTEP! because I feel like its just that wobble sound over and over. sure, it probably sounds awesome when you're on drugs (I speak from experience...sadly) but when I cant stand it now.

(sorry, trying to make topics here... Cut me some slack)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I won't call myself a fan or anything, due in large part to my complete lack of any meaningful knowledge of the genre, or strong desire to listen to it, but i do enjoy the music itself. I listen almost elusively to Heavy Metal so the intensity of "the drop" in dubstep keeps things heavy and familiar, while the simple dance beats are a nice change from the machine gun drum beats and busy fills i'm used to. There's a certain energy that draws me to it, and it's finally a genre i can stand listening to that a good number of my friends also like (something that up until now has been rare).

I'm also adamant about my avoiding the pop culture scene at all costs, and such have no real reason to hate Skrillex beyond the vague assumption that because he's popular he must suck. In my growing interest in electronic music in general i got a list of artists to listen to from a producer friend of mine who is just as picky about music as i am. Skrillex was on the list and I gave him a shot. I found that i don't mind his stuff. I don't love it, and it may turn out that as i learn more about electronic music i find reasons to hate him, but for now he has space on my iPod.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I kind of over exaggerated a bit.. I dont hate all dubstep but I dont know what it is but I just cant behind the really ”heavy stuff”. The constant overly grindy Wub Wubs just bother me after a bit.

I have come to like some of the lighter stuff that borders between dubstep and trance (I guess people call it ”chillstep”.) I dont know I dont try to keep up with how much the music has evolved in the last few year.

I personally have nothing against Skrillex, but his ”die hard” fans bug me because when ive tried playing the lighter stuff or mention a dubstep producer (skream, Benga, etc) they look at me when im smoking crack BC they just know skrillex and Nero lol

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I love a lot of sub-genres of electronic music. While I don't HATE dubstep, it's the only one I don't listen to outside of a party/club setting. It's danceable, certainly more so than any of the IDM I prefer over it, but generally speaking I find it average at best. I did have quite a laugh seeing Boregore last year but that was mainly down to ridiculous metal mash-ups he threw in there.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I've been to alot of parties but I don't know to dance to it other then the occassional head bounce.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've been intrigued by the dubstep phenomenon, if only because other forms of electronic music haven't seemed to enjoy quite the same level of general popularity. I don't own any dubstep music because it's not the type of stuff I really enjoy listening to in my spare time, but it has its good stuff and its bad stuff, and it seems to work fine in a club/dance setting. And to be honest, the dubstep routines on So You Think You Can Dance this season were pretty sick.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

When I've been places they play it I've always been quite surprised by how lively the crowd are - it's just the same kind of stuff you'd see with drum & bass, usually with a few mosh pits and occasional wall of death chucked in there. There's definitely some part of it that seems to appeal to the metal crowd; most of the people I know who are into it are into metal in a big way too. My ex really hit it off with some guys at a night a few years back because of a mutual love for doom, which they thought shared a lot with dubstep.

FELIPE NO

I used to reject dubstep mainly because the "in" thing, even though the sound appealed to me just about a little. However, as I tend to download electronic music in genre packs, more often than not I find myself listening to dubstep tunes that somehow made the cut.

Here are two that actually enjoy a lot:

Alex Mind & James Egbert - Ghost Machine (Original Mix)
Feed Me - One Click Headshot (Original Mix)

Most amazing jew boots

That feed me track sound slightly similiar to Knife Party's - Internet Friends.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Internet Friends is a pretty good track.

It's not my preferred Electronic music, but there are a couple of good tracks out there that I've taken a liking to.

I hate to say that out of all the Skrillex tracks out there, Bangarang is probably my favorite one. =/

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dubstep is awesome when it's done right. Sadly, in the same way that Pendulum killed drum and bass by commercialising it for the festival crowd, a lot of what people pass off as dubstep now is a poppy, watered down mess which can basically fuck right off.

Also, I see your spelling hasn't improved much over the years Furbs.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't listen to the radio (or any webradio) much at all, if any. I don't really watch television for music exposure. However, I have been exposed to dubstep through some groups, like Infected Mushroom's latest album has a dubstep track or two.

From the tracks listed here that I listened to I really enjoyed Internet Friends, a lot of the "lyrics" caught me off guard and were pretty funny. A lot of the elements of this genre remind me of VGM in a way, some of the wacky stuff anyway. I think I would enjoy this style more as part of a greater whole. I think too much of just this would be overbearing for me.

Ive been posting from my phone most of the time, so its annoying and slow so I kind of have given up on spell . Honestly, im trying to improve my spelling/writing but posting from the phone is hard to do.

I consider the commercialized dubstep as BROSTEP. When its just wubs and ”drops”.
