that may or may not be true. I just don't like the trend... just like the cheap Chinese buddha machine nonsense where every trainspotting electronic musician sampled it. All hate is welcome, so long as it is expressed in words. |
||||||||
|

|
|
i never listened to all the dubstep.. i know i loved burials stuff though.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but that wasn't hate directed at me! how dare you be civil! |
||||||||

I was curious of why it drew in so many people. EVEN IF IT IS A TREND, SOME OF IT IS PRETTY DAMN GOOD |

maybe in the uk, but dubstep is still alive and well. it seems to be coming up more and more in the bay area and i'm hoping to be part of it, and there's some great tracks coming out almost every day. |

Its like any other musical trend. Your not going to hit gold 100% of the time, but there are some classics out there. |
||||||||

It always excites me when men with a bold and pioneering spirit imitate one another relentlessly for years on end. |

I really like dupstep because I like the way the bass vibrates through me. The shuffle is hot too. |

No it isn't really, it's still going strong from what i have seen when i have been out and about. |

|
|
dubstep or xltronic? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just listen to real dub, come on! like aba shanti i |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is also a good alternative. |
||||||||

I'll enjoy a song until you put another cheesy scarface sample in it. Then I'll gut ya like a fish. |
||||||||

nice to see the variety of responses on this. and I am thinking of syncing some Das Efx with that Aba Shanti stuff larn the UK guy mentioned. I am also thinking I might be mildly retarded; then again, thats what it takes to make a new sub-sub-sub genre anyway. |

i just got back from burning man decompression in san francisco and i can guarantee you that dubstep is very much alive and well in the bay area, and kids are finally learning how to dance to it :P it's actually merging very nicely with the glitch hop scene which sf has been fostering for a while. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

your entry was nullified by the fact that you mentioned burning man. LEAVE WICKER MAN OUT OF THIS! hmmm, well, dubstep does have it's place and even though I don't go for that subgenre, I hope it doesn't fizzle out. and San Francisco seems to be all about the freaky stuff anyway, so I wonder if that is the primary resource for the lovers of such music... and even though I am the polar opposite of everything that is "burning man", (you know, I'm like those freaky conservatives you see doing psychotic things in liberal films) have you ever posted your details about burning man, hedphukkerr? I'd love to hear any non drug induced experiences. |

if you buy the cream of the dubstep releases it is 2 per month at most. let's be generous and say one a week. so if you buy the cream of the dubstep releases over one year you have 52 records. Make a DJ mix of em and you will get one enjoyable mixtape's worth. So it's fair enough as a genre but it is not being pushed far enough quickly enough or in enough directions. It should sound like squarepusher vs king tubby or something. Plastician does good mixes where he almost has 3 tunes playing at once, the mix is more than a sum of its individual parts. i'd love to hear some real high end effects and extrapolations of some of the tunes... most of the people are either smoking too much weed or snorting too much coke to get it where it should be. but it's still good enough, plenty of heaviness if you dig deep, like most genres. |

well my reasoning for bringing up the "trend" word was because dubstep is unavoidable in every hipster garage online mag as well as even the crummiest of message boards. as a felllow music maker, dubstep has my support as a legitimate genre, but much like "IDM", I hope most of the fans, crtics, and scenesters burn in hell. teehee. and it does seem like a genre too cracked out for it's own good... perhaps that is why it is extremely simple, slow, and repetitive... for the neanderthals? imagine dubstep with layered and changing complexity. then again, those wishing to really experiment never gain much recognition until they're dead, with some exceptions of course. |

I meant to say "garbage" instead of "garage". either way, the word "garage" is idiotic enough. |

dead in the sense of not being underground anymore? its definitely not dying as a trend. i used to enjoy dubstep, but its the same as every other overhyped genre, the interest just fades and then the good things will pop up if there is something to it. personally, im not a big fan of the wobbly basslines, i only like a select few and they do a good job of disappointing me with their recent releases. there are, however, some artists that never rarely to deliever - artists such as 2562, Martyn, Burial, Boxcutter, Vex'd, Broken Note, Shackleton and Appleblim & Peverelist (to some extend). there is hopefully a bright future, i can see this merging into something more experimental.. and i thank dubstep for bringing back the bass. |

At a night out some dude comes on and suddenly plays dubstep for over an hour long, and i thought it was good until after 20 minutes. Only burial rings my ears a bit but the rest i just can't give a damn about, i'm not interested in it. |

its a trend defining music a trend |

Aphex Twin is a dying trend. |

well, that was a well constructed post. maybe you shouldn't smoke so much, you would probably be able to put a few sentences together. |

10 years ago it was breaks and trip hop. I remember how sick of drum n' bass I was, every mainstream jerk had to have a little amen cut running over their track or have an EP of breaked out remixes. There were so many compilations with people you never heard of cutting up the same breaks and dropping the same bass drops, it was irritating. Then, as the initial big buzz was tapering off people like Squarepusher and Venetian Snares started to really open it up, hybridize it, see where it could be taken with other styles introduced into the mix. I think the same thing will happen with dubstep. The big buzz will wear off, the compilations will be fewer and farther between, but people won't stop going back to it, the way people will never stop going back to acid, electro and the amen break. It will just get more interesting and there will be less of the by the numbers pedestrian crap to deal with. |

aha! cuntychuck comes through with some reference material i.e. musicians. nice, exactly what I like to see in a thread like this. |

glasse, you have an interesting insight into this. I was struggling to find a comparison for dubstep but drum and bass seems exactly right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
people are still fucking with jungle, so i don't see why dubstep is finished. |
||||||||
|

The one thing I will say about dubstep is that there is too much wobble-wobble-tcsh shit going on. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
it's still growing, at least here i don't care though, i don't feel cool for rooting for the winning team |
