Its good fun to listen to. I think the only thing that
really bothers me about it are the people who whine about
it.

it's mostly watered down but there are some good artists
still. something new is gonna happen soon, but what that is
gonna be is yet to be determined. make the music you wanna
hear...start something new!

Thats kind of the same way I feel about breakcore. That shit
doesn't seem to be going away.

When anything reaches super mainstream it's the end but then
a new beginning. Like jazz goes fusion and poppy. And club
music with lasers. And Vanilla Ice. The new McDonald's ad
is dubstep, and I hear Burger King is competing with a
breakcore ad.

If some gangsta rapper who was shot and been in a coma since
the 80's woke up today, he would wonder why everyone looks
so yo yo yo. Like waking up into some surreal alternate
universe.

the dubstep sound goes kind of against my sensibilities

they use very basic waveforms / synths and lots of
resonance.
i kind of like advanced modulated synths and little
resonance.

That is true. What's incredible is that the ultra rich
listen to a genre that the common man doesn't even have
access to. I heard some once for about 2 seconds when I was
painting a mural for this rich mofo, and it blew my mind!
Made Aphex Brothers Pushers sound like shit. It was barely
sound. It was more like holographic sex on salvia in
several dimensions simultaneously, with your head inside
that huge ass wheel.

The poor apparently listen to extremely fast banjo music or
hip hop.

I don't agree that it made you seem twatish. Kind of made
you seem like an idiot though. Like someone saying they only
like guitar sounds if they are played through a specific
delay pedal. Comments like that make me want to punch
people.

Kode 9 played in Malmoe some years ago. I thought it was
shit.

I wasn't too keen on dubstep until I saw Living Inside the
Speaker (Michael Thomas & Mark Walter, 2007). There I got a
feeling for the movement and the idea. The documentary was
screened as a prequel to Musically Mad (Karl Folke, 2008)
about roots reggae soundsystems. I was taught the relation
between these styles and now respect their passion.

But I only have Grime 2 (with a now more appreciated Kode 9)
to listen to. That's one (important) aspect, that the music
shouldn't be released in extenso/en masse; dubstep like
roots reggae soundsystems artists press often their music
direct to a unique vinyl that's played on a massive, custom
made soundsystem for a definately original dance
experience.

Deconstructively, dubstep could be regarded as "old man's
rave music". The rave generation of the late 80's and early
90's is getting older and slower, thus need a different kind
of music for an all-nighter.

Dubstep has feeling. It's indirect, unclear, but it's there.
Feel it.

Like every genre, the best is good, the worst is shit. 95%
of any genre is shit. Millions of people make music, very
few have an original idea.

that's true.

i just resent the fact that any decent nights out have
disappeared as everyone is putting on boring shitty dubstep
all night. it's not dance music. why cant everyone just stay
at home and listen to their boring music there instead of
moodily flopping about like idiots to the amazing wobbly
bassline? even psy trance is more fun.

Dubstep isn't really danceable, therefore rave oldies
promote it and kids like it, afraid of blurring mascara and
sweating expensive clothing. People really don't like to
dance, it's non-fashionable.

IDM is also quite non-danceable. Give me some distorted acid
or classic bangin' Detroit techno.

if people arent dancing then you just aren't going to the
right places. good dubstep makes you flip your shit!

and yeah, like most people with brains have said in this
thread (and 5 thousand times before) 99% of all music is
shit, therefore 99% of ANY genre is going to be shit.

and i think dubstep is going in an interesting direction,
getting a lot more melodic (well one end is, then there's
the mega-synth future maddness which is just pushing it more
towards an exercise in pure sound heaviness) and trippy with
its production.

for some really forward thinking dubstep, check out eskmo
and untold's productions.

Thematically the whole scene is interesting, cuz after how
many nights does one get tired of some dark and wobbly
"stubbly face detective" cool feeling? There's a reason why
rave was so popular for so long, and that's cuz people like
being happy. Drugs or not, there was happy and dancy, which
totally beats going "ugh- uh- yeah-", like some hip hop
music video or something.

So I think old school 4 ballz on the floor is very in tune
with animals and their heartbeats, so the bd in the 4/4
sound is like emphasizing life or something.

Soften and dislodge dubstep by applying different music
detergent. It is important to use only music detergent that
will not clog the pores, such as indie music detergent. Pour
around 1 tablespoon of music detergent into the palms of
the hands, and massage the music detergent onto the skin
using a deep pressure. After about 2 minutes of massaging,
let the music detergent remain on the skin for an additional
5 minutes. After the allotted time, fill a bowl with nearly
boiling water, and lean over the bowl no closer than twelve
inches. Cover the head and bowl with a towel so that the
steam envelops the skin. After about 5 minutes, wipe off the
music detergent and sweat from the skin using the towel.

for me dubstep is like a perfect combination of sex and
violence. like you want to imagine smacking someone right in
the face but also you do a little cum at the same time

You could also say that dubstep is less harsh than most rave
music, somewhat lighter in mood than most techno. Grime
isn't that grim.

again, i dunno if yall are listening to proper dubstep.
less harsh than most rave? watch the faces melt and
people tear up the dance floor when this shit drops.

also, the new reso ep is up on the torrents and totally bad
ass. seriously future shit.
