Poll: Dubstep, how do YOU feel about it?

[jklinders]

Barely know what it is.

I really don't like electronic music though so i doubt there is much of this stuff I like.

Gimme some good old fashioned prog metal, classical, or even regular rock music any day.

Dubstep is an insult to the entire techno music genre.

I detest it immensely.

Dubstep techno...?

You obviously don't know what you are talking about.

Dubstep evolved from UK Garage, which was a British subgenre of House music.

Please do your Research next time.

Not a huge fan. Most dubstep songs give me headaches. That said, I actually like the dubstep used in the soundtrack for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.


The song plays when you're fighting the elite spec ops enemies, and it's great at pumping you up while also giving you that "You're gonna die" feeling.

 

[Soulfoodman]

I don't think anyone mentioned the Borderlands 2 Doomsday trailer. That's dubstep right?

Best video game trailer I've seen/heard in a while.

EDIT: The song is Doomsday by Nero. Not entirely sure what exact subgenre the song is, but I think of dubstep when I hear it and I like it.

 

[Vault101]

That song is alright but fits more into the Electro category. A bit of a pet peeve of mine is that so many people confuse the two. Although, they do intertwine here and there.

god no, I wasn't trying to imply this song was dubstep...at all

 

[GartarkMusik]

I like it when it is mixed with real instruments, with a focused clear motive. (that's motive in the musical sense, mind you) Otherwise, it just sounds like directionless noise to me.

 

[Pharsalus]

Most if it is bad, I have some great speakers in my CR-Z, but I'll get my bass elsewhere. Some of the elements of dubstep can be put together in a very effective way while still being good music (LMFAO) but most dubstep is just techno with more awful ingredients.

 

[Xorph]

I enjoy both dubstep and brostep quite a bit, but honestly I think people need to start understanding the difference between them. Everyone is always complaining about how annoying all the "dubstep" in newer game trailers and stuff is, when more often than not its either brostep or not dubstep at all, but some other form of electronic music.

 

[WaysideMaze]

I've found very, very few songs I actually liked. And even then, I'm not sure if they were dubstep or not, since everyone seems to have a different definition.

If the genre were to vanish tomorrow, I would not miss it.

Overall, I think it needs more Bon Scott.

what?

dubstep isnt techno

oh god...

DUPSTEP IS NOT TECHNO

 

[Vault101]

Gotta laugh at the guys appearing in this thread to do nothing but belittle electronic music in a passive-aggressive manner, leaving us wondering if we should offer them something other than Skrillex to change their minds.........or just say 'fuck it', I'd be wasting my time yelling into the vacuum of space!!


Anyway, on topic. Yes, I love it. Even the wub wubs have their place as the current sub-genre that really doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. Filling the same sort of position that, in the mid 90's, was taken up with tracks like Dred Bass and Incredible, which were the fun and well known face of jungle.


What I don't like is the shady-brained blurring of the lines between DnB and dubstep. One is one, one is the other....simple!

Although DnB needs a little exposure as it's been struggling for a long time.

just dubstep really....which is understandable

although dubstep and techno do not belong in the same sentence

I can't really get into DNB

 

[Vault101]

Oh, yeah, also this. Because I can't really hate anything that Lindsey does. Plus her's is quite different to other dubstep I've heard, while most dubstep I've heard just sounds like a bunch of techno sounds randomly mashed up together, Lindsey's is quite soft and sounds nice and the violin just gives it a nice touch that's relaxing to listen to.

I still want to know how they built those ice castles because they're awesome.

Tehcno sounds? what the hell does that even mean?

why do people think tehcno means all music thats electronic?

completly different....

 

[Vault101]

Dubsteb is the only kind of electronic, 'You can dance to it' music I can stand, and maybe even like. Most of the time when I hear the things that people play at parties(Though that happens rarely, leaving my cave is not something I like to do alot of)I want to, well, vomit. There are a few exceptions, but for the most part I want to smash the object playing said music with a sledgehammer.

erm...

dubstep isnt really "dance to it" kind of music...its more a slower tempo that oyu nod your head too

I love electronic music and don't think its limited too "party" shit...I guess the sound is just personal taste

 

[Chemical Alia]

I don't think I'd know it even if I heard it. I didn't even have a concept of what dubstep was until people kept throwing the word around with that Borderlands 2 trailer v:

But I don't really listen to music, anyway, so it's probably no weirder or less recognizable than anything else that may be popular at the moment.

 

[hecticpicnic]

I can tolerate most British dubstep, i had a fascination with it a while ago when i was getting into two step, garage and grime.The was an comp album i liked called future bass.
Tbh i much prefer dub or drum and bass, (dubstep just seems like over complicated dub with aggressive drums to me).And i detest skrillix brand dubstep stuff, i hear squarepushers having a go with some o' da;which should be good.
And people please don't label all EDM(or even IDM) as techno.

 

[floppylobster]

I like it as much as I liked Drum and Bass 15 years ago. i.e. Not at all.

Dance music will come and go to give Rock music a break. Rock will be back again. I just I hope the next time Rock comes back, it comes back better than this last lot we've had in between dance phases. But it seems to follow that pattern - every 20 years - good rock - 1950s, 1970s, 1990s... I guess we should be on the verge of something more interesting pretty soon.

Perhaps good rock is always a reaction against popular dance music phases (Disco, 80s, Electronica, etc...)? So if there's a popular wave of dance music coming, expect some great rock music at the end of the decade.

 

[Risingblade]

My body feel actual pain from listening to it

I never said that I think techno music is all that's electronic, while I'm not really a fan of any type of electronic music and therefore not great at defining the different sub-genres of electronic music, I'm aware there are other sub-genres to the electronic genre, or whatever. I'm simply saying what dubstep sounds like to me, in my opinion.

Are you saying 60s rock wasn't good?And sure good electronica was fairly prevalent in the 90s.
And one more thing, rock music never went away, and i doubt it will ever come back with the same fore it might have had in the 90s(such a broad term too, i mean what do you define rock as, because there are so many different sub genres, and there are big parts of rock that are just bollox).The music industry is changing in ways it will never com back from, especially with the internet, and how the media(radio) treats music now'a'days.


And for any of you who don't know where dubstep came from, it's from the UK dub scene, it's all to with downers and weed.
Perfect exsample of club dub
