Saddest moment in dubstep?

[Today]

i just want to punch every brace-cladden tooth right out of that annoying little shits mouth

That's just a great example for what is for me the saddest moment in dubstep. I mean I don't hate the person skrillex or datsik or what ever at all, but they made everyone think their kind of music is dubstep. Thats why shitty girls like that one are calling it dinosaur music.

The fact that people like this exist:

In her defense, her brain isn't fully formed, so its hard to take anything she has to say very seriously.

Boys II Men was my favorite group in 7th grade. I also really dug smooth jazz.

But she is a bit of a tnuc.*

*Are you serious? I can't type tnuc anymore? I thought you guys loved that word and like it wasn't even a swearword over there anymore. Boo forum fascism.

I played a festival yesterday. Same old problem. What is so difficult in providing a system to play vinyl and dubs as well a digital formats. I'd like to apologies to the audience who had to witness me trying to fix the problem whilst playing the set. It ended up taking about 30 minutes to do so. No offense intended to the festival but it's unfair for the people you make pay to have to go through that. It can spoil the vibes, and in all honesty, for me it was a nightmare.
I have to really question this ongoing nightmare. Its not just now and then anymore, Its most places nowadays especially festivals. (I thought tech riders would help, but when asked, most engineers never see them.)
So.... What is one supposed to do when having to constantly work against the environment provided for you to play music ?

It's like being forced to do something i don't want to.

I guess its about having a back up plan for this type of situation.

It's a sad state of affairs... What I don't get is what the hell these promoters/sound guys do to their equipment, I don't know how badly I've treated my Technics, and I've never had a single problem with them, they're virtually unbreakable...

I guess mixers are a different story, but even Pioneer folks need to use a mixer, no?

to be fair some hench shit goes down in clubs. them legendary sets you see with the legendary wheelups take their toll no doubt. still no excuse to not have well serviced gear.
if people are paying to come in to hear a dj, you think it'd be the first thing youd make a priority

Hyperdub not releasing dubstep anymore. gotta respect their point of view but the amount of innovative and essential tunes kode 9 released back in the day is ridiculous

People in a crowd getting agressive towards me when I played them quest - hard food. They demanded 'real' dubstep... obviously i told them to fuck off but for me, dubstep died a little that day.

wow i'd have told em to fuck off then gave em a slap then packed up n get the fuck outa there. If they wanna hear dungeon sounds go to fucking london dungeon.

[Ficticious]

I don't mind trap much, but when kode 9 dropped a full trap set... There were only a couple good tunes. I understand Dj's have to appeal to the crowd, but it was basically all trap. Then the amp blew out during the show. That made me die a little inside.

I'm not all that sad about dubstep, but the one moment that epitomises what actually pisses me off the most about the "scene" is when some producer started chatting to me on Facebook with the express intention of whining about how shit Skrillex is. I mean, I wasn't interested and had barely heard of Skrillex at the time. But who gives a fuck? That combined with people who liked dubstep for 2 months in 2008 but now love proclaiming how it's "dead" and all that shit, as if someone bringing out a bro-ish tune today deletes your old deep stuff that you "once loved" from your iTunes library. How can you like something in music yesterday and not like it today?

I know it's not limited to the dubstep scene by any means, but there are TOO many people spending TOO much time fucking whinging about how other people "don't know what real dubstep is" or how "skrillex has ruined the scene" or (god forbid) "it's too popular now" - if you were listening to the music for ANY reason other than you resonating to it emotionally, physically, intellectually and/or musically, you need to GTFO and stop pretending like you represent anything other than hipster twats who are more interested in telling other people what they like, than just enjoying what they like.

The music you love, the subcategory of it you prefer, is always going to be out there somewhere, popularity ebbs and flows and there will always be people jumping on bandwagons. But I fucking love this loose category of 140 bass music from the filthy tear out of 16bit and Skrillex all the way to the deepest of the deep, it's the RHYTHM that I will travel miles and miles to make a fool of myself to on a crowded dance floor and sweat my fucking internal organs out to, and next time you're considering hating on something, think about how long it is potentially going to take you to hate on it, and find something to love for that period of time instead, and let us out-of-time, out-of-style, out-of-crowd DUBSTEP LOVERS GET THE FUCK ON WITH IT.

inequals nailed it

[inequals]

Haha, can't help but feel like I'm contributing to the negativity though. Just to emphasise: I love dubstep in damn near all the shades it comes in, and to anyone else who has ever heard a tune and thought "damn, I would lose my shit to this", I love you too.

Inequals I've never seen you post before but you hit the nail on the head man!
