DAMNIT, HIPSTERS
but seriously, wobble? Care to enlighten me as to this mysterious genre?
Liking the responses so far, it's better than most of the stuff I've heard so far.
I honestly don't even know if Wobble is technically a real thing, it's just what everyone around me seemed to call things with wobbly bass. I even have a CD by a local Toronto DJ called "At least it's not wobble!"
Think of it as the precursor to Dubstep; in the same way that breakbeat got faster and then split into Hardcore and Drum and Bass (old-school hardcore and old-school drum and bass are the exact same genre, at least as far as I know.). Some people just started exmerimenting with very wobbly sounding basslines (I believe they are also known as "rollers") and it caught on in strange ways.
Despite using electronic equipment, the elctronic music scene is surprisingly organic and divided. In one part of the world mixing freeform hardcore with happy hardcore could be a very large faux pas wherin another part of the world it could be flat out expected.
