If people like midrange wobble or even pretend to like it because thats what is huge right now then let them like it! Just because you are partial to more original sub bass deep dubstep doesn't mean to say you should hate on everything else...its just progression in the music...people are just doing their own thing, at the end of the day chances are they are influenced by the same people you are...its just their take on the music...whats the big problem with the filthy tunes? or the metal influenced ones?
i say if you lot are really THAT bothered about being pigeon holed by people when you say you like "dubstep", because of this new popular scene thats recently blown up. Then maybe its you with the issue, you obviously care to much about what people think about you, or your 'underground scene' rather than the music....I LOVE dubstep...and i dont care if people think its lame or fadd that i will grow out of...because i know that in years to come i'll still be appreciating the likes of Digital Mystikz, Artwork, Datsik, Skream and everyone else who makes this great music....
The problem with your post is it's sheer ignorance...
It's regression first and foremost...let's clear that up...dubstep was a haven for creative minds & proper producers from all the other electronic scenes around at that time and it's now regressed backwards to being in the same boat as d&b was...
Chances are they have no clue who the real godfathers are...i very much doubt they have a clue about proper dubstep at all...
I have no issue with any one genre...just the sound we are discussing here is synonymous now with extremely generic formulas...of course it can be good but no-one wants to make that stuff...it's all about who can be the most filthy and comically aggressive & hard sounding...
There' no balance....all people are asking for at raves now are remixes of the top 40 and the most obviously awful dumbed down posturing nonsense...they even have the nerve to tell older heads that what they're playing isn't dubstep BECAUSE it isn't that shit they think wrongly is dubstep...
There is awesome skullstep/wobblers/metalstep about but that stuff isn't whats being caned....vex'd, goth trad, luke envoy, broken note, coki, milanese..just off the top of my head are light years ahead of these ten a penny producers that it seems merely have to make a comedy bassline or perhaps have someone meowing on their track or maybe saying ginger tnuc over and over to become the next big thing in the scene.....substance is not something these people are interested in or receptive to...if you play any amazing wobblers or ultra aggressive stuff then the student n-dubz hat wearing crowd don't wanna know...it has to be throw away garbage before it even enters their conciousness....
I have no problem with how i am viewed...i just think it's a shame for dubstep that i guess a lot of amazing producers will end up going elsewhere/not get booked anymore due to the intense demand for crap from the posh student takeover crew..
& for the record 'chav' is a stupid word and the type of people i think you are alluding to are more welcome at an event with me playing than tom, imogen, tarqwin & penelope...
one love
sounded pretty tight man.
