Dubstep

The wobble-y stuff isn’t really what you’re after. That tends to be mid-range stuff, what you hear and feel coming from the subs is the sub-bass sitting underneath the ‘wobble’. You can blame that fad on Rusko’s ‘Cockney Thug’.
For the most part dubstep is drums, a bass/sub-bass line, and an intermittent synth part(which may be substituted for a rendered classical instrument, or a manipulated existing track of one(ahem, a dub?). See Skreams ‘Monsoon’(and Loefah’s remix) for some nice cello. But frequently there is almost no mid-line, pretty much just drums and bass. The thing that makes this Skrillex insanity the most annoying is all the screechy mid range stuff, its jarring, unpleasant and totally unlike anything what dubstep is.

I get this, but are you saying there’s no room for innovation or differences within a genre? Pretty boring-*** genre if you can’t mix it up. And Skillrex’s stuff (though I don’t like all that screechiness either) proves that you can bring something new and become popular for it.

I mean, if everyone followed the exact. same. formula. then what would be the point of there being different artists at all? And what would differentiate them? Breaking new ground is to be admired, not slagged, in my opinion.

I’m not saying there isn’t a place for it, just that it isn’t dubstep. You can’t innovate a genre you aren’t a part of.
Electronica is by nature very genre specific, there IS an exact formula for everything, saying Skrillex is dubstep is like saying “I love punk! Avril Lavigne is my favorite!”

only some of skrillex is acual dubstep. But raise your wepon by Deadmau5 has a dubsteppy drop towards the end.

On the other hand, dont you guys get pissed when people compare deadmau5 and skrillex all the time!?!?

Why do people even care about this whole thing? I understand the whole, “what is or isn’t dubstep” subject can be very touchy.I listen to a lot of this kind of music ,but I just can’t seen to know what to call a lot of them.The ocean of sub genres is far to deep for me to know the difference between them sometimes.I see people get really into arguments like these at certain points ,and it really upsets me that it seems less like people conversing what they like ,but more like “OH! I know what sub genre of music this is ,so that means I’m clearly more knowledgeable about music than you are!”.I understand the range of sub genres ,and I can easily recognize most of them ,but now it seems like all of the sub genres are broken down to the point where almost every new person who makes this kind of music has his very own genre ,and it’s very hard to keep track.
I just keep listening to what simply fits my mood and makes me feel good.I really wish everyone could just put all the sub genre of sub genre stuff aside and post what you think is dubstep.

This is true- probably should have been a bit more clear.

Skrillex is Bro Step, and offshoot of Dubstep, but still…I love Skream…Like I said before…I heard some of Knife PArty, I like it…But either way, I’m multi-Music Cultured…lol

[yoyoavenger]

I don’t care if it’s dubstep, bro step, EDM, electronica. I like it. That’s all that matters to me.
