Brostep / Skrillex and the Forum.

[Jizz]

Downlink - Station Six anyone? His productions a hell of a lot better than other bro producers. And i consider that tune somewhat of a guilty pleasure.

More like Downlink-Station Seven. I don't even know how he got his reese to do that. Haha.

Not feeling station seven. Too high pitched.

[TheTornado]

that downlink / excision tune '2005' was pretty weighty.

[solo strike]

Is this an actual thing that actually happened in the real world?

Fuck me

Ditto for Mendez, who's releases his shizzle on Sluggo's Ultragore Records imprint and will also perform at the afterparty.

stopped reading there... grammatical errors and the word "shizzle"
I would never read anything from this publication/blog again

terribly written

I think this thread is healthy, gives a place for the members of the forum to stroke their puritanical ego as well as build their well needed 'true' Dubstep street-cred!' 'Ay yo, dis brostep crap, ain't got no SOUL....IT AINT GOT NO SOUL!!111' etc

Joking aside, a sub-forum wouldn't work. The reality is that this forum doesn't represent a lot of the music out there which many consider to be Dubstep anymore. You wouldn't get many people listening to what most here call 'brostep' joining this forum, and the ones that do will most likely get a rough ride from the 'Tru Dubstep street-cred crew'. Thus a sub-forum would turn into a hate-fest with only existing members posting, like this thread.

Best to keep the forum in it's own bubble

ummm... you havent been here long have you?

almost everyday there is a new member posting about skrillex/datsik/flux etc....

[fractal]

if you look around you will find more diversity in the sounds represented on this board then you might imagine. one could argue that the people in love with the same drum sample over some oscillations ad infinity are trapped in a bubble of stagnation. that stagnation is a problem in a lot of music, you'll see just as many people bored of the "dungeon" sound as you will see people complaining about "brostep" if you take the time to look

what is true dubstep and who get's to decide? you're taking a tiny part of this forum and magnifying it beyond reason

imo

Nevalo - I have been here long enough to see if a new member posts a genuine question about Flux, Datsik, Knife party etc he most likely won't get a genuine response back, instead ridicule of himself or the artist he likes. We all like a laugh, but mocking of the same artists (that many like) over and over has been done to death now.

This thread being an example: http://dubstepforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=233327

Fractal - Perhaps there are, but the constant criticism of what people here consider to be the 'brostep' batch of artists sticks out sore thumb (the size of this thread says it all!). My posts only refer to that, otherwise I have been visiting here on and off for a few years and learnt a great deal about the genre through it. But getting to a point where a discussion on certain artists almost becomes a taboo because they dare to change things up a bit doesn't really seem to be the right direction.

I couldn't think of a more genuine response really

youve missed the point... again

add a subforum where people can talk freely about bro & you wouldnt have anywhere near as much flamming

why? because people WHO DONT LIKE THE MUSIC wouldnt even venture into that forum.... just like people who dont like hiphop dont venture into the hiphop forum? is that simple enough for you to understand?

[Mysteriis]

Haha, think you have also overdone the facepalm pic now

If done with the right intentions, promoted and moderated properly, perhaps it could work. If you expect a sub-forum titled 'Brostep' - basically a trash can for music which people think is Dubstep but actually isn't...then don't expect new joiners rushing in their masses. Most listeners, promoters, venues and artists do not use the term Brostep, so you're not appealing to anyone with that. No Flux/Dr P/Knife party fan is going refer to their taste as Brostep, it is a derogatory term.

This fucking twat just doesn't know when to call it quits, does he.

Should've fucking fucked off 10 fucking years ago, tnuc.

[Sexual_Chocolate]

im not coming to the conclusion that it should be called "THE BROSTEP FORUM" that would just be daft

[howzer]

"Commercial" dubstep sub forum? How about that?

[Sexual_Chocolate]

yea i thought the same, but how does one differentiate between commercial and 'underground'

[howzer]

Well... anyone would soon work out that Modestep tracks would be posted into the Commercial section. because well... if they posted it into the other section they would be eaten alive.

[Sexual_Chocolate]

true.


but what about people like joker? or skream even?.... both have done commercial sounding tunes but i wouldnt dare think of putting either of them in that catergory
