J3FF3R00 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The purpose of dubstep's existence was to make jungle more accessible to people who couldn't figure out how to dance to it. fixd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chim Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I love all forms of dubstep, if brostep is pop it's the most tolerable kind of pop I've ever heard. The tunes aren't all bubble-gum and chords and singing, they're retarded and people are digging them, that's a great thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I heard this on my morning commute then made the mistake of reading the article comments later. So much nonsense written I felt compelled to respond to some of it. Some examples : "Cynthia Bayne (CyprZZ) wrote: In my opinion, Dubstep is not a genre that meets real-world music needs. You could listen to this at a party, but it doesn't suit everyday life such as driving around, working, hanging out, and so on. This is suited for parties with drugs and drinking. On the other hand, some people's life beat follows along with this, more power to you! I'm not dissing Dubstep. I just see House and DNB dominating 2010. Look into: deadmau5, Chemical Brothers, Underworld, Daft Punk, MGMT, Dj Shadow, Steve Aoki, and Booka Shade Details on some of these will follow in another post...." and this: "Nicholas Concklin (NicholasJamesConcklin) wrote: 'Many electronic-music purists call this sound "bro-step," for the fraternity-brother types drawn to it.' ^ This is false. It's called "Bro"step because of the overly aggressive and therefore masculine nature of the music. Not because of the crowd it draws. Brostep existed far before fraternity brothers knew of this music. The original pioneers of Brostep can better be related to the ego-centric thug-like characters from the urban scene. And indeed Brostep does embody the "I'm the biggest & the baddest" thug mentality. @Adam B - 97% of Brostep (and other Dubstep) is 140bpm. And it's more danceable because it doesn't utilize as much negative space as more traditional & experimental dubstep. And Brostep does have subbass but the focus is on the mid bass. Where as dubstep proper has minimal if no mid bass and all focus on the sub bass. If Brostep didn't have subbass it wouldn't be the draw it is on concert-grade systems." ^Because the internet makes everyone a musicologist!

Guest Lube Saibot Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 IMO brostep can be done well. I was introduced to it personally through borgore and can't say I didn't bang my head to it a lil bit. I still enjoy one or two tracks from Excision, one or two by Borgore, one or two by Rusko, one or two by 16bit. And that's about it, can't stand Benga, Skream, Nero, Flux Pavilion, Datsik, etc.... especially Skrillex... i mean FOR FUCK'S SAKE man he is the fucking ex-vocalist of a really bad and really gay SCREAMO BAND, wtf did you expect. and Bassnectar... that guy is like... nu-metal made flesh again in bass music. And then there's appropriators of the aesthetic who do it exceptionally well, and with some consistent amount of added thought... Akira Kiteshi, Hecq's dubstep stuff, Ajapai, Subvert... Huge, dark, nasty explosive shit. And yeah, the crowd is offputting. It's offputting even here, in fucking ROMANIA, who is normally so far-removed from the rest of the world that i at least don't have to put up with fucking stereotypes. But, of course, brostep (mostly Borgore) took the metalcore-rehab 12-to-16yos by storm, and wouldn't you know it, when he played here last march, i was WAAAY in the back and could perfectly see all the way to the front over the heads of an ARMY OF TWEENS, wherein the prevalent demographic of pubescent virgin girls who hadn't grown tits or pubes yet and didn't know what a dick looks like SCREAMED ALONG TO "i'm a nympho i'm a nympho i love my mom my dad and my dildo". BITCH, YOU AIN'T HAD YOUR FIRST PERIOD YET! It's really, really hard to try to be fair and give the genre any props at all after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising for burgers Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 just listened some nero dubstep tracks, and it reminded me that, there's been this stuff playin on the tv, it's kinda dubstep but it sounds like MDMA step or something, were it gets all nostalgic and friendly, what's that step called???

wahrk Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Honestly, the non-aggressive, chill-in-your-room-and-smoke-pot-or-whatever side of dubstep often bores me. I generally prefer the clubby dubstep (clubstep?). I'm generally an aggressive music kinda guy though. That being said, I love me some Boxcutter and can't stand Bassnectar. Clubstep is for the club though. You're supposed to get the fuck down, not get hypnotized by it. I'd be kinda pissed if I were at a club and someone put on Boxcutter instead of Ajapai. Dance music is for dancing. It's a lot like the whole breakdown-oriented side of metalcore and hardcore. It's aggressive rocking-out shit made for getting the fuck down, not chilling in your room feeling special because the guitar parts twiddle your knob. I guess the chill stuff is cool to encounter if you just want to enjoy some really fluid movement. Like I said though, I've got a soft spot deep down for aggressive stuff.

Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 the two styles described in the article are really a false dichotomy. there are more styles than that. early dubstep was either 2-steppy and dancy or grimey. then came the more meditative stuff pioneered by people like benga, skream, and digital mystikz. since then there's been stuff crossing over with tech-house, plenty of stuff inspired by classic dub reggae, ragga-sounding tracks, and so on.

Guest fiznuthian Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 whats up MJ! so yeah what i was getting at with that post is that i find the deep, meditative and repetitive dubstep both more hypnotic and danceable. all that stuff from tempa, DMZ, hotflush, etc.. but when i go out to shows i tend to flail and twist around maniacally in any way i haven't explored before. people probably think its weird but i think its boring that they bob their heads and half-skank around the room too so i couldn't care any less. moving to rhythm releases a LOT of happy-chems in the brain and feels real good. pretty much everyone going to shows here in SWVA can't dance worth a shit, and it shows even more when someone plays house music. unless its that new high BPM wobble electrohouse shit thats becoming popular they really lose it on more thoughtful sets. i busted in a party once a frend told me to come to after work.. then proceeded to hijack their soundsystem playing trapez and traumshallplaten tunes. noone was dancing and lil wayne was playing so i went to town.. it didn't take long before i had a group of ladies dancing with me. as i looked around the room i saw dozens of bros standing in the corners and along the walls holding a sippin' beer in their hands and having a nervous laugh about it with whatever dudes were doing the same. i had a feeling i was making them anxious/confused about what was going on but i was having too much fun to care. the girls fucking loved it though and kept asking what drugs i had taken. when i stopped finally some kid came up and asked if he could change the music.. so i let him plug his ipod to the input. the dumbass put lil wayne on again. shortly after all the girls at the party decided to go for a swim and because the party turned into a sausagefest everyone left. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
