Does anyone listen to dubstep anymore?

[TridenT]

Just started listening to Deadmau5, pretty good; it isn't all dubstep obviously.

Anyone got any other lovelies?

You know someone has a fairly narrow view on music when they attempt to disparage a genre of music by comparing it in terms of quality to one that isn't remotely related.

Lets put it this way, I'd rather listen to anything but dubstep.

My friend sent some Burial my way. It's ok.
But I'm still not sure I understand what elements dubstep consists of. Most electronic music ends up sounding similar & lumped into same category.

IMO dubstep is a shitty and pointless genre that just isn't pleasant to listen to.

 

[sleep]

i don't even know what genre they are.

short, i never cared.

I have a fun Dubstep Pandora radio station if you want me to share it with you... just LMK.

That basically all of dubstep. Its the only genre of music that I've seen clear out a club instantly besides those stupid "up and coming rappers" they put up sometimes.

Not all of it is bad... you just really have to dig to find anything REALLY good. Most of it is just a remix of another song too. These aren't bad:

Are we talking dubstep? I.E. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7lVG9RqU1E
or brostep? I.E. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSeNSzJ2-Jw

(Sorry for the Skrillix but I don't listen to much Brostep and hes like the most popular artist of that genre)

But basically Brostep is a lot more aggressive and has that distinct Wubba Wubba everyone associates with dubstep (The one that sounds like two machines doing it) but THEY'RE 2 DIFFERENT GENRES!

TBH it all sounds like generic techno/trance to me and i have no idea what specifically makes anything "dubstep"

This. I'll just lump it with all the other electronic stuff I listen to, until otherwise.

Dubstep tends to use a ton of samples (voice clips, animal noises, static, machine noise, that sort of thing), is super bass-heavy, is often pretty erratic and disjointed. Most of it has a "dirty" sound. In a way, it's like the death metal of techno.

That's dubstep, from probably the most popular artist in the field.

skrillex is pretty good, that's all I know from that genre

 

[Exterous]

I like it - but only some songs. It can be hard to find dubstep that I like

I also like Drum and Bass (It's like a gateway drug to Dubstep)

Deadmau5 isn't dubstep. Some of the mixes or productions he makes might be breakbeat, but none of it would be specifically classified as dubstep unless he was remixing a track that was D&B or something originally. You can't classify any of his original productions in these genres.

Most people don't even know what dubstep is, its just a slightly modified version of Drum and Bass which is actually just a version of breakbeat all of which has been around since the 90's.

They just gave it a different name and now its all of a sudden popular amongst the hipster facebook generation of morons who don't know WTF they're talking about.

Thats a pretty terrible way to describe it, you were pretty spot on until that phrase.

Its more like the underground hip hop of electronic music. Techno is a genre of electronic music all its own, and is actually more akin to that analogy you made then dubstep is. Most dubstep/drum and bass is based off similar electronics (effects, samples, etc) as hip hop music.

I definitely can't speak for the history of the genres but it seems to me that Dubstep and Drum and Bass are diverging *shrug* Could just be me though.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

no.
