personally i love playing some of his tunes and hate others, but hating the whole style is just ignorance
uniqueness and original ideas are def still flowing just people chose to blanket ignore them due to their subjective tastes
exactly the point I am trying to get across.

i just saw mt kimbie and it was not a the same audience i see at dubstep shows by a longshot. the music i would add, was miles away from dubstep. so is james blake. serox has been calling it techno and i think you mentioned the "techno/dubstep divide" in your post but i think these acts have fuck all to do w/ techno. maybe w/ 2562 or datsik people can argue about whether it's techno or dubstep but i really think there's a lot of genuinely new sounds that are not just twists on dubstep. whether you love or hate "future bass" as a name i think it's more appropriate.

I fully agree, writing off a genre is a bad thing to do. I'm always open to new stuff. As a whole I dislike Punk, I find it boring and rhythmically stunted. On the whole. I have yet to hear a Punk track I like. But I'll always listen to new stuff when people recommend it to me.

The same applies to brostep / filth / jump up or whatever is the in term this week. However, as you bring mention Borgore specifically, bringing an original sound, what did he do that Jakes, Coki, Stenchman or Skream hadn't done already? The use of dirty south / east side girl style vocal intros wasn't fresh when he started doing it (the whole 'thugstep' thing had been going on for a while, especially in the US by that point). 808's have been cained by plenty of Dubstep artists since time immemorial. All I can really say I notice, that makes him stand out from the deluge of other jump up producers, is his production values. I personally don't get the hype, but I find the jump up I really like is rare.
I make music as Forsaken, you can DL all my unreleased (and a couple released) bits here.

yea just saying from my perspective, dubstep takes a hot min non forum wise usa wise to trickle down ;)
alot of the stuff imo seems to heavily borrow from clownstep/jump up dnb and even borgore as an example seems to heavily borrow from what twisted individual originally did just having fun and making a pisstake with tunes and names.
i just find people writing off whole styles and artists catalogs ignorant as fuck and close minded

If someone is serious about music
then they will have good reason for writing off artists. I do it for a good reason! I have over 1000 12s of techno alone in my want list that I aim to get! If an artist has made pure shite for years everytime I have wasted time listening to their music then that's it, I won't bother again. If I ever hear something I like thy I font know I ask. There is so much shit music
out there who has time to go thru it all? Not me. I will stick to the 100s of artist I know have been making the shit for 15+ years.

That 1000 in my wantlist is for oldschool techno alone. I got another 1000+ to get in genres like electro, oldskool, jungle, acid house, new beat and hardcore techno to reach still!! Goodluck to those of you who waste hours every day listening to mp3s if u got the time.

Safe
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

no we're just going to be anal about calling a genre of music that we all love (since this is dubstep forum) the wrong name
now take a dose of your own medication doctor

Dubstep is obviously getting more popular. Ive only known about dubstep for 2 years, and before that I never listened to electronic music. Like others, I've yet to get bored of it. I like the chill shit, riddim shit, like the dick grindin shit, but most of all I love that hype shit.
