Posted January 13 edited. I never liked this kind of music. Join the conversation You can post now and register later. Reply to this topic Go to topic listing. My dear readers, as any of you know, there is an aural plague bit by bit, infesting our nation, growing ever-larger one person at a time. As any one who has set foot in a high school or college campus knows, this musical menace is known as dubstep.
According to Wikipedia, dupstep originated in southern London, which from my limited understanding of the area as an American living on the opposite side of the ocean, I can only assume is where the British equivalents of Hipsters reside. Created almost entirely by computer-based sound-editing programs, and as such, takes next to no musical talent to create, almost every single track consists of barely distinguishable sound effects and base drops.
As you might have guessed from my tone, I am not a fan. Wait for the drop. Here it comes—wait, wait—yes. That drop is so nasty. This throbbing and abrasive affront to music at least to me has always sounded like Optimus Prime getting raped as compared to actual music. Then you have the junkies who listen to it while stoned for the sensory overload that follows, that or found murdering their brain cells a preferable alternative to listening to dubstep. The last, and worst of the bunch, are the hipsters, which in hindsight makes perfect sense.
After all, what is more essentially hipsterish than crappy underground music that makes anyone with good taste ears start bleeding? At least in my opinion though, the worst part about dubstep is just how artificial and fake it is. At least to me, music should always be about the human element of the equation, about the musician slaving over thier strings and songs, pouring thier passion into the music in hopes that an audience will share that same passion.
It should take heart, drive, and above all else, talent to make a musician and music. The less of that musicians touch, the more artificial and fake the music is. Dupstep is about as artificial and fake as music can be before it devolves into just noise. I also make dubstep, and let me say, it is as much music as is classical opera, or any other genre. I believe since its new, of course people will hate, but they must accept the fact of a new type of music.
Modern piano pieces literally sound like randomized chromatic notes that sounds like junk, but its still music! It fits. I love hearing the other sides argument, but your argument is ignorant!! I like dubstep because I like simple sounds and heavier riffs, and such. I appreciate other music styles and always will, but my true love is dubstep and other sub genres of edm.
I can tell you truly have no clue what your talking about. Even though this is super old I felt the need to comment. Have a good life sir. Just a tip keeping an open mind about things is key in life, and just because you do not like something does not mean it is vile or terrible.
Although I do agree with you about the part about the idiot fans who are just in it for the fad, but there are less of them than you think. I also play bass and guitar. So I have a solid background in music. In order to make electronic music you must know something about music with some exceptions. I have a few songs of my own. I just think this was an ignorant and misguided attempt to say you hate a genre of music. I was just getting into the good techno for hardstyle and here came dubstep.
I was enthusiastic, wanting to see what the new music would be like. I respect your opinion, but disagree. If you want to look cool and listen to electronic music, listen to someone that actually puts some effort into making a good sound, like Squarepusher. It might surprise you that I am not defending dubstep. I agree that the majority of remixes on youtube are utter shite.
Terribly produced. What I am against is your negativity and dictating to people what you think is good music and what is not. I myself hate most Indie rock. I find it lifeless and weak. Theres no passion to it.
But another person might say the opposite — that its gentle, happy and artistic. Music is about expression, and connecting with people, changing emotions.
It doesnt matter how much effort you put in, how well produced, how synthetic, how obtuse or gentle your music is. If you make just one person happy through your music then in my opinion — you have succeeded as a musician. I even made the whole rant about objectivity and subjectivity in describing music. Microsoft Sam is dubstep. This is actually going to end up being my classic criticism for any genre I put up here. At the end of the day, you are correct if you believe I am merely complaining, because that is what I am doing.
I post stuff here because it pisses me off, and maybe someone on the internet will agree with me. There are heaps of misses, but there are some hits. Take your poster boy for example, Skrillex. Hell yes. But what he has actually managed to do in this song is paint a sonic pictures where these nice sprites and scary monsters do exist. Sure its cheesy, but its still art nonetheless. And from experience I can tell you that the synths he has used require alot more effort than just chaining the frequency to LFO.
I was inspired by Caspa and Rusko, and they just sort of took it to the next level. That was always the plan. Then it kind of got called dubstep. How has the reality of what dubstep is been misconstrued? It was bpm, and then that was a really cool bpm to write crazy dance floor music too, but it was never really dubstep at that point. When it started getting a bit convoluted was with people putting out drumstep tunes, like halftime drum and bass, and calling it dubstep, and people putting out moombahton and electro tunes and calling it dubstep.
Do you think EDM is a dirty term? The thing is, when I do play shows at all of these places, the way I try to approach it is bringing something else, something different. How so? All that matters is that it makes you feel something.
That, to me, is what the music is all about.
