Poll: Dubstep, how do YOU feel about it?

Obligatory demotivational poster, because no one else did:

Eh...never seen a good definition of what dubstep is.

To me, it jsut seems like crap electronic music, but what's the difference between it and any otehr form of crap electronic music? The artist is a bigger wanker?

There's presumably more to it than that, but I've missed something somewhere.

Some dubstep is good, some dubstep is bad. The same with any other genre for me.
I listen to the songs I think sound good.

 

[Nazulu]

I don't mind it, I even found a couple of songs I like. Actually, I like it when new genre's pop up, but unfortunately most of the popular songs are rubbish, like usual. I haven't heard anything great come from electronic music yet though, most of it is just wubwubwubwub.

 

[Pakkie]

This.

It's boring. all I ever hear is the same tune repeated ad nauseum. IMO there's a few ways music can be good and stand out. like having an intricate melody and good structure and buildup, having beautifull vocals, having good lyrics that 'roll' well (like some of eminem's raps), or just having a very catchy tune. dubstep just doesn't have any of it. I know I haven't listened to all of it and there's probably tons of songs you can come up with that you think will change my mind, but I don't WANT to know. dead dog for dinner, not sticking around for dessert... you know how it goes.

I don't really know, I haven't listened to it all that much. I like electronic music sometimes (especially the Portal 2 Soundtrack). And What do poeple mean with wub? is that one of the sounds frequently used in dubstep?

 

[Leadfinger]

It's like a day at the dentist.

 

[Tsun Tzu]

I enjoy a good portion of it. Even Skrillex.

Some, however, does just sound like noise. It's not enough to just make wubs, you need rhythm, a decent ear, and some concept of how to compose.



More drumstep on this last one, but eh.


It's all down to preference. I also like metal, rock, classical, pop, country, industrial, electronica...etc.

 

[Yopaz]

I hate any kind of electronic music with few exceptions. Dubstep is the worst kind of electronic music there is. The Borderlands trailer with the dubstep soundtrack almost turned me off Borderlands 2 entirely.

If you went back to, like, the early eighties, and asked them what music would sound like in the distant future if we were all cyborgs, they might have imagined something like dubstep.

 

[Crazy Zaul]

Kill it with fire. Then make a pinnate out of the ashes.

 

[MammothBlade]

There's some gems, but 95% of it is shit because it's made by any idiot who thinks he's a music genius just because he knows how to use dubstep mixers (or whatever). DnB is better in comparison, most dubshit uses wubwubwubwub effects without moderation.

 

[Thistlehart]

This.

Thanks for sharing this. It was quite... mind-blowing.

I like ACTUAL Dubstep like Phaeleh and Burial and the early artists coming out of the London scene. Cannot stand modern dubstep like Skrillex or "Brostep" as some call it.

Phaeleh is excellent btw, a mix of early, bass heavy Dubstep and Ambient music and no wubs!

I'm into classic punk and progressive rock

 

[Hazy992]

I like it, not my favourite genre but yeah. Prefer the darker, more guttural stuff

 

[Mysterious Druid]

It is, in my personal opinion, the worst genre of music in human history (this, and screamo).

 

[Gabanuka]

Well it created this:


So its not all bad, however I prefer the more melodic dubstep to BwTAL DWUB WUBS!

Aaaaaaaand I'm in love. Fuck you dude

I have no particular feelings towards it. I wouldn't seek it out but it hasn't bothered me hugely the few times I have had to listen to it. It would probably piss me off if I had to listen to it too often though. It's a shallow and transparent type of music.

Yeah pretty much this... Though the shallow and transparent part goes for pretty much all "party" music... Not to mention you can apply passionless and sterile to a lot of it... It's just something all the bleepy bloop machines in the world having trouble getting across, you know actual emotion...<.<

..

if by "party" music you mean "electronic" then weather or not it conveys emotion is up to the listener....alot of it is hot or miss for me..but when it hits..it hits


I find normal guitars often bore the crap out of me...but that's just me
