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 ? .....
