Refund, I'm dying to hear something fresh! Please show me
the light, cause I'm in dire need of something I haven't
heard.
Or maybe that's my problem...? I've always liked electronic
music because I was constantly hearing music that was both
genuinely good and unlike anything I've heard before. But
that doesn't really seem to be the case as of late. Perhaps
it is my perspective that is the fault, either way, please
show me (and 20+ guests) some lovely tunes. Thank you
Refund.

Well, brostep certainly did a number on dubstep. 'Electronic
music' proper has been killing itself slowly for years.

Still enjoy some dubstep from time to time.

music is personal, and music doesn't give a fuck about what
anyone thinks. So whatever was killed, it was only killed
in your mind. On the positive side, I think if anything,
dubstep has revived some really talented musicians from idms
past, and opened up a large scene of new experimental
electronic music.

i always liked those that played from out of nowhere a few
3-4 tunes in a row of such music and then moved on as it
would be a quick way to spice things up at a party .why are
such attentions being paid to those that muddy watters?

did weed suddenly go out of style and churn up post counts
when so-and-so mr popular started smoking in public>?

and after gigving it some thought - why do people suddenly
care about the wrong impression being given to the masses
about electronic music? should you not try yyour hardest to
obscure some of the more delicacies and make someone wind
their way through the mazes to find the gems?

let them consume their meals fistfulls at a time - while
those others whose company we enjoy eat their peas one at a
time

The thing about the underground of electronic music and
emotion/consciousness expansion and some sort of
understanding of the concept of inherent positive qualities
of certain sounds..... ...the thing is, the scene is
primarily made up of soldiers who are unable to fight,
fighting a war in their own minds. Only a small percentage
in the scene can actually make the music they wish they
could hear-- the rest are just fans; some of which who are
actually, ironically filling the scene with the bad music
that they complain about. Others have been burnt out and
jaded by their own cynicism.

This constant promotion of good music but lacking
sonic-execution skillz is a middle ground though, where
ideally, this type of character would spend countless hours
in ze studio, experimenting/exploring musically, in order to
become the idols they are looking for. Then, they can at
least help by self-releasing music to tilt the balance in
the direction of the most positive for all.

In the end, there is all the talk and all the recordings and
all that shit, but then one just eats some good cantaloupe
or has good sex or has good sleep or watches a funny
cartoon, and then it's like... okay, maybe we can calm down
for 5 minutes together and just chill. Because life is a
balance of all-- not the concentration of 100% quality into
a very specific aspect of life.

think about it. without dubstep, electronic music would have
still lived. impeccable logic there.
instead of whining about who or what killed electronic
music, you might want to ask what might save it. amaze us
with your creativity.

I've seen many sub-genres come and go. I witnessed them all
firsthand.
I dont see it as a genre , as its more about someone
discovering how to modulate a bass with an LFO.
How many variations of wub wub wub can there be , and how
long before it gets tedious and predictable ?
I dont see how its any different to the james brown samples
that were in every single piece of vinyl in the late 80s /
early 90s that no-one would dare use now
I personally see dubstep as a cul-de-sac.
I;m not against it , as some of it is good , like funckarma
, but I cant see it being around much in 2 years.

I think the problem that most people here have with dubstep
is that we have out grown the particular demographic which
the music is plainly aimed at. I don't go to clubs anymore
gurning my face off until well past sunrise.

The kids who are being introduced to dubstep now did not
experience rave culture as we knew it. I think dubstep is a
good thing, it will evolve as music does, who would have
predicted early Detroit house would have lead to so much
amazing music.

If you compare the wub wub wub to amen breaks and the
pounding house bass drum it is easy to see that it has room
to evolve as music before it did from equally shaky
foundations.

Its hard to find original dubstep its vry repetitive,
because its locked not only in score algorithms but in
sound.

dubstep is finally changing into something else, past
footwork onto something faster, a cross between 1990 dance
music and soca... check your radio!

I think a change was on the cards.
Dubstep is mostly about bass , and its usually a menacing
sinister sounding bassline , so there aren't that many
combinations really.

acid house was about self modulating cutoff
dubstep was about lfo modulation

Maybe the next wave will be modulating adsr. , or
...or...modulating a remodulated modulatory modulator , no ?
