The Escapist's opinion on 'Dubstep'?

[Simalacrum]

Not so great when listening in your room, FREAKIN AWESOME at concerts with huge subwoofers and tons of people!

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

I just think it's a fad.

Last year I'd never heard of it, and now it's suddenly blown up. The wobble noise you hear really annoys me. I don't like it at all. It's noise, not music. Good sounding noise sometimes, but not music at all.

I dont really mind it to be honest, i would go out of my way to listen to it, but if someone else sticks it on then its fine by me.

Quite good to work out to, if you find the right tracks.

This is my favourite dubstep tune:

I do like Dubstep! It's pretty good on it's own, but I think everyone would agree that it's SO FUCKING EPIC at parties. It's social/wasted/dancing music
I haven't heard much though
This is my favourite - it's a sort of modern dubstep version of My Favourite Things from Sound of Music
This is alriiight, not brill though
I like this:

I thought it was cool in the beginning, now I'm like "meh."

 

[anthony87]

Honestly, I can't seem to tell the difference betwenn Dubstep and Techno.

And I hate Techno...

It's fun in the right environment, not really something you listen to unless it's you and other people in a car or at some sort of drinking establishment.

Forgot to add in my previous post that, while dubstep has been around for a while, the newest trend of it, "brostep", is sadly what's becoming popular. And I say sadly because it is utter shit.

Compare this fantastic, classic-style dubstep song:
With this brostep garbage:
If you can appreciate the difference, you'll understand why it's so sad.

Some of it is okay. It's definitely not my favourite genre of music, not even close.

The song you linked OP, was one of the best I have heard so far. Mostly because of the vocals, I admit, but a good song overall.

I really love dubstep,house,trance any electronic really... also it makes one hella bad-ass weapon

 

[dssturn]

These are the only two reasons to like dubstep.

[Mr.Squishy]

Eh, depends. Not terribly fond of it, but Skrillex is alright.

 

[Daveman]

I quite like it for no good reason really. It's just kinda cool.

I like the *wub wub wub wub wub wub wub*ness of it.

 

[Magikarp]

Wubwubuwubuwubwubwubwub.
Don't like it. I don't think it has enough depth to it.

dubstep is actually insanely popular in Manitoba (Canada), and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it a lot, too. my favorite artist right now only has 13 tracks as of now, check him out:

I think dubstep alone does not work. It's rather an effect than a real style of music, you have to add other elements to keep it interesting. There are some really bad examples, some good but it still feels like dubstep is yet to be defined. It feels like dubstep was foreced to become it's own genre, because there is no real other progress in music but to use robo voices in pop tracks?
Something that I think is dubstep (or simular) and I really like is this:
I would also post Cardopusher - Homeless, but the original is nowhere to be found ...
