I like the idea of dubstep as a genre in an entire spectrum of electronic music. I would never consider just listening to nothing but dubstep for an hour though.
Plus, it seems that a lot of people get the term "dubstep" wrong and just attribute it to any heavy electronica. But I'll spare the qotd thread from whining about generic conventions
always thought I'd change to Gyarados after I turned 20 but hey, this is more fitting I guess. (also somebody registered under the original Magikarp name and I can't get back to it anymore orz)
Nope. I enjoy a lot of experimental electronic stuff that can have dubstep influences (Andy Stott, Gold Panda, etc.), but I really don't like it as a genre. It's way too maximalist and in-your-face in a bad way for my tastes, and if it's created using Ableton software, easily the most music I have ever listened to. I think I could fall asleep more easily to Deadmouse5 (or whatever that Canadian's called) that join in a dance/mosh pit at one of his shows. I'll leave you with this quote from James Blake, a British post-dubstep-ish artist, with his thoughts on the American dubstep scene (that I agree with):
"I think the dubstep that has come over to the US, and certain producers-- who I can't even be bothered naming-- have definitely hit upon a sort of frat-boy market where there's this macho-ism being reflected in the sounds and the way the music makes you feel. And to me, that is a million miles away from where dubstep started. It's a million miles away from the ethos of it. It's been influenced so much by electro and rave, into who can make the dirtiest, filthiest bass sound, almost like a p****** competition, and that's not really necessary. And I just think that largely that is not going to appeal to women. I find that whole side of things to be pretty frustrating, because that is a direct misrepresentation of the sound as far as I'm concerned."
If dubstep is another word for rave type music, then no thanks. I'll stick to my rock, metal, and old school rap.
For you, the day LordJumpMad graced your threads, was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday. [url=http://www.backloggery.com/jumpmad]Unive...
For now I have to say no because I have no clue what it is. I thought it was a type of dance game similar to DDR. I'll have to research it more to give a more definite answer.
Funny thing, urban dictionary give me a good definition of it, wonder if it's true.
A dying animal struggles, thrashes and howls in protest as its life torn from it. To see this in action, watch Animal Planet. The same thing happens when a video game is or isn't released. To see this in action, stay here.
