Dubstep Clichés

[deadly_habit]

Inherited from forerunner musical forms, but...

...the need to spin every little fucking stylistic difference into its own new genre and invent a [not so] witty name for it so you know that it's not, like, that old stuff.

"Oh, you listen to that Dubstep stuff still? I'm all on the Murdertek tip."

drumstep is a perfect example

Ayeeeee

Must admit, I was gutted when I heard what people were calling 'DRUGSTEP' - proper undersold its name did that 'genre'. I used to spend weekends in K holes spooning a cubic sub amp using my spare hand to try and make tunes. I hoped that drugstep would've had a similar origin haha

[Project_B]

shitty remixes that have the hook/intro of the original tune mostly unchanged and after the drop its a completely different, unrelated tune stitched onto it that has no relevance to the first half of the tune.

This visual is priceless. I laughed for a good half a minute at that one.

[ThomasEll]

Shitty youtube comments on dubstep tracks saying how sick or filthy it was.

Or even worse, some of those pricks on that UTR video

Flithy tunes dirtier than a council house flat

Queue facepalm

[alphacat]

Ironically, I think that when the inevitable stylistic schism happens and people stop referring to it all as dubstep, the headbanger faction won't call it brostep... they'll just call it Filth. Like Grime's caucasian cousin with a Napoleon complex.

Heh.

Its true.

The most common picture on dubstep youtube videos after a subwoofer is a marijuana plant.

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

The only girls into dubstep are geeky and IME good looking.

But I LIKE subwoofers and weed.

Seriously now: without both, there'd be no dubstep. I don't care what anybody says. Y'all can go start treble music for straightedge types, just leave me them big subs and likkle collie.

[fractal]

bitching about how dubstep is just loosely based on tempo and bass
then calling something brostep or not dubstep when they don't like it

this

[hurlingdervish]

Blaming bad tune criticism on the listeners speakers (both true and false, but still cliche)


"nah mate, the repetition sounds much better when its on a real system"

Referring to Dubstep as 'Dub' or 'the Dub' - I guess a lot of people, youngers, won't realise there's already a much larger and popular genre of music called Dub. Still cracks me up when I see people using this term.

I have to admit that one out of the lot really grinds my gears

yeah when people abbreviate dubstep to dub, it is rather annoying. it's like calling a pigeon a pig, not the same thing..

oops, double post

haha

is it cliche to point out all of "The Wire" references?

but fuzzy dunlop... you are a legend

[Pada]

Anti social nerds and internet forums are ruining the party vibes o' "the dub!" rather than just seeing the music and raves as an alternative to washing. Analysis of music is cringey

Analysis of music is like analysis of any art, people trying to gain a deeper knowledge of things they love and/or appreciate

Yeah don't see why some people think it's bad to take music seriously. Music is a lot deeper to me than just a bit of fun, background noise, something to dance to. As pete said it's art.

I can't remember who it was... but a friend of mine once said "this music is too important to be taken seriously
