dubstep and its future?

[NattyWallo]

soon there will be dubstep in the background of TV commercials, just like drum&bass muahahaa

seriously.... get over it, more people liking it will not destroy the music for you. Just look at drum & bass, or Breakbeat, or dancehall, or grime.. has it been "destroyed" by more people listening to it? - No. Only better.

The way I look at it, song gets played on the radio ..I'm like this songs badass... Everyone else is like, this songs badass...

Then i'm like cool, that was a good 4 minutes of my day, toodles..

Instead of sitting on this forum and debating (bitching) go out and do something about it:
-Promote good music by posting it on here,
-Recommend it to people,
-Make your own,
-Learn to play an instrument and the musical theory that goes with it as well as good production techniques to help you produce,
-Learn how to DJ so you can play out good tunes,
-Put a night on (free party?) with good DJs,
-Be critical of yourself,
-Keep an eye on what's developing,
-Encourage new developments,
-Take on board what other people think
...

Does that sound like it might help to make a good future for dubstep?

D&B, Breaks, Dancehall and Grime are seriously bad examples for what you are saying...

D&B is mostly now clown step bollcoks, all though still some good stuff there.

Breaks, wow, is pretty much dead except for tearout...

Grime is seriously dying with no vinyl releases of shit just to try get a popular CD out and make Ps

It sucks now and the sound has been raped.

hey, i'm new here, i'm a producer/dj from the states. i have to say that over here, dubstep is a fad. people listen to it and get SUPER pumped about it for about 2 months and then never listen to it again. probably all of this mainstream exposure is following the same suit.

as for dnb...well i'm a dnb producer (i just started producing dubstep) and i have to say that coming out of lifted/breed12inches is some pretty d*mn good stuff...same with other labels like trust in music and the other neurofunk/dark dnb labels. however alongside all the robotic, destructive music is also a bunch of sh*tty pendulum-style dance music (russia can't decide if they're great or if they suck). i think that dubstep/dnb are sounds that most people get into because of the variety/novelty, they like how different it is, but after a long exposure they realize that they never really liked the sounds that much anyways. as for me, i've ALWAYS loved the dirtiest, deepest, darkest beats i could find and i think that while not everyone else "across the pond" from europe is the same way, there are enough of us to keep the music afloat and away from mainstream shittiness.

think of it like this, pendulum is the most mainstream "dnb" (more like rock'n'bass amirite?) out there and still no ones f*cking heard of them over here.

i think dubstep is starting to become mainstream.

thoughts?

It has been for 2 or 3 years now, dude.

Anyway, I don't think many predictions can be made about the course of dubstep. It's the first new major type of EDM in the post-Napster era. I'll wait it out.

In the meantime, I'd wish the heads in the scene would stop being so touchy/sensitive about it. Crying about everything from badly written articles to Mt Eden. If anything will kill the scene it'll be a mass drowning in menstrual fluids.

[truefiktion]

I woudlnt really know dubstep if it hadnt of become more mainstream...im embarrased to say that I only really started liking and mixing dubstep when i heard the typical Skream remix of In For The Kill, but i did have dubstep tunes before that just never really bothered with it, i stuck to house music cos people preferred it

Pendulum's first album was sick, don't know why they turned out so crap after that (by the time they would've got round to promoting themselves in USA they would've been generating what they are today so probably wasn't worth it) :S and to be fair most dubstep in America is pretty cheesey, sounds like a mutant hybrid of hip-hop and electro.. it's not different enough from other genres and tracks aren't that distinguishable from each other. Of course there's good American dubstep but it's pretty rare from what I've heard, probably the same situation as here in that it's buried under the junk. I do like American punk though

Here in germany there has been this new car commercial or whatever playing Dubstep. I can't remember the name of the car but I'll look out for it. I was kinda surprised. Dubstep over here is getting biggr but I would have never thought they'd use it in a commercial.

Well said.

dubstep will always have a future as long as
hotflush,
hyperdub,
formant,
hessle audio,
hemlock,
and the likes of these,
keep on releasing tracks.
