IMO It's music when you say it's music. It is designed to get an emotional response through sound. People who say "X is not music" instantly make me ignore their opinion, no matter how likely I could have agreed with them.
I hope I am not the only one (DAMNIT I hope this is the only time I say that...) who thinks this doesn't fall under the category of dubstep.
Some electronic music genres fall under a pretty simple premise, despite how much pidgeonholing a record label owner or a magazine writer may try and distort it. I think dubstep contains such a gift, as what the genre is, is within its very name. I am not willing to debate if the very construction of a track's genre can be explained within its name is a good thing though.
EDIT I LIKE FIXING QUOTES OK?
Ehhhhh...Daystar Clarion said:I'm not an expert on music, not by a long shot.
My opinion of dubstep is like this.
The vast majority of it, is shite, but when a good dubstep track comes along, I really like it.
Like this, for instance.
