How do you feel about the recent uprise of dubstep. I know its been around for years but how do you guys feel about it getting so mainstream and over used? I really wish I knew about it before it got so big.

They're all talking about how good it is, I personally think it is overused and I am starting to not like it.

I think dubstep, when it first came out, sounded kinda cool and it had potential but then it never really got better...

Some people over emphasize the womp, others focus on big beat drops, and theres all that cool little fluff in the middle. I like certain artists that are able to blend all of these into something thats not just a simple beat repeated over and over again. If you find a good artist that is ready to follow the flow of the crowd (true in all music), then you usually have no choice but to have a good time.

I saw Pretty Lights (includes dubstep elements) on November 6th, and while the crowd was going nuts, it didn't feel personal at some points. The encore felt canned, and once he was done with that, he just left the crowd wanting more. A true artist would have listened to the crowd and played more, because kids were really were going nuts.

He would have most likely played more, but my guess is that he ran into a time limit and the club told him he had "X" amount of time left to play. That's usually how a lot of concerts work, it's mostly not up to the artist.

I could care less if it gets popular, my only real complaint is that the shows are starting to fill up with high school sluts that eat too many drugs and do really sketchy things. Not such a great vibe...
I think DNB, Drumstep >> Dubstep. But I still love both. I'll just leave these here cause this thread is super dumb.

It kind of irritates me when people are like OMG I LISTEN TO DUBSTEP ITS SO AWESOME.

One kid said that to me, and I asked him to name three good dubstep songs, and he said, Pro Nails (rusko remix), a deadmau5 song that wasn't even dubstep, and starry eyed (jakwob remix). I just laughed to his face and walked away.

Don't get me wrong, I love dubstep and its really fun discovering ill new beats, but I hate when people jump on the bandwagon and have no clue what they are even talking about or only know the over played shitty stuff. /rant

I seriously doubt it. Dubstep is an acquired taste, its like coffee or beer. It takes some warming up to but once you like it your hooked.

Skream knows all this is where I jacked the term from:

Scroll to about halfway down someone posted the whole interview:
http://www.dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=163864&start=0

"Definitely a different reception. They [US fans] like the bangers and the brostep. I play bangers and some different shit, and it doesn’t go down so well, but at least they hear it… but I do like the States. They go crazy. It’s hard not to play bangers because they go so nuts"

How does a genre of music becoming popular make it worse? Just because dubstep is fairly mainstream now doesn't mean that there isn't FILTHY dubstep out there now...
It seems that once something becomes mainstream it instantly becomes bad... dubstep is becoming mainstream because its tight! Thats a good thing!
my 2 cents

Bassnectar make a shit ton of different styles. he does make some dubstep. Datsik makes dubstep obvi.

The first were pretty much Skream, Benga, Hatcha, etc...
Everyone should read this interview, its pretty great:

http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2005/08/skream.html

as well, listen to the mix. Its oldschool Skream mix, before dubstep was even a word. Midnight Request line is the hardest song on the mix, but it is oooh so dark and Brooding which is what Dubstep was originally about.

Joker is the shit!

If you are into darker shit, Have you heard Kryptic Minds and/or Breakage? theyve been my obsession lately. Kryptic minds is like the darkest fucking shit ever. I get bad feeling in my stomach listening to it. Fuck it, I'll just post some.
