[Roflrilla]

Man why do those people who sign up to this board in 2008 and 2009 try and school those who've been on here since 2006.

[bigbasha]

yo dumb ass...

i take it you're refering to me. if you read the thread, i wasn't schooling him... it was a misunderstanding. my reply with the wikipedia links was just a general output in case anyone read this... pistonbreaths first reply in the thread just made me think about the subject and i'm only trying to contribute because i'm also sick of people calling dubstep, dub.

anyways, why are there so many cry babies on here?

and if it means anything, it took me at least a year to really care and want to be on this forum...

i mean who even cares how long you're on dsf?? i'm 28 and have enough knowledge to hold a conversation in enough topics...

[decsterity]

you get the wrong idea when you think dub is only refering to dub/reggae
dub versions come in many genres...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_music
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep

dubstep came from dub versions of garage and other styles, it's not like it was just reggae with dub versions, although dub did come from jamaican producers and reggae...

dubstep is not dub/reggae, or a dub version of anything, please call it dubstep.

i know what dub is
and i know what dubstep is
i like both
i'm not slating anyone and i'm not a pro cackstep campaigner it just came across my mind, and i havent just come across dubstep in the last year or so i've been around a fair bit to know

its just i got into a debate with somone who uses "dub" all the time and was goin on about it, and seemed kinda pissed off that i correct people who call it dub. but i was just thinking, many nights use the word "dub", and skream used it in that tune (and i know skream is has a lot of dubby tunes), also with labels like dub police and shit you can understand why people do call it that, but on the other hand they should also do their research i guess. id ont really know where im going with it im kinda shit at getting stuff out my head but i was just thinking about it

[bigbasha]

alright then, i see where you're coming from. if you ask me, that's a side affect of gimmicks and generic labeling.

either way...

+1 for dub = dubstep

[decsterity]

if a tunes shit its shit, doesn't matter who produced it

u say that but have u never found urself automatically thinking somthing is shit because u do not like the producer as a whole?? cus i have somtimes and i have to remind myself that u shudnt be so judgemental

[bigbasha]

big promoter out here just told me he's going to have his flyer for the summer patio thing we do say house, techno, electro, dub... and his explanation was that using dub means we can play dub and dubstep and get away with it...

i didn't like that.

shortcut, fronting...

wobble vs anti wobble thread shocker

How about we all call it "music" and get our heads out of our asses.

You like it or you don't. Not that big of a deal if somebody feels like shortening "dubstep" to "dub" which is the intent they have in mind I'm sure.

Seriously. Not that big of a deal.

As to the original post...this is definitely how this forum goes. DatsiK or another producer along those lines could put in 20 hours on a tune with ace production quality. Then somebody like Skream could spend 20 minutes whipping up some wobble and drums and people would go apeshit over it. Skream makes good music and a lot of people that get slated do as well...It's just one of these names that people constantly bitch over (datsik, borgore, funtcase, etc.) could make a good track and get called "shit" for it while somebody who's had a big name for a while can make something exactly the same and get praised for it.

I say you stop paying attention to artist names and just decide whether or not you like the music based on the individual songs. There are some artists that I absolutely can't stand 95% of their music...but there will be ONE track from them that ends up being my favorite song for weeks at a time.

[aleks zen]

truth is, having a well established name is everything in the music industry.. gives u a freedom pass to churn out any old shit and ull still get props

[fassyman]

this argument is getting olddddddddddddd

dunno who ur refering to, but no offence mate, that is so neeeeky. who cares how long someones been apart of a poxy forum. u dont have to be a nerd to have an opinion on the music industry

[slothrop]

i think the main point is about the style being best done as part of a wide variety of music that a producer makes- not being done to death because the producer simply can't make anything different, innovative or original

just producing more extreme versions of the same tune gets boring quickly, im not a fan of skreams really wobbly tunes, but the fact he makes sooo many different types of tunes to a high standard and is innovative aswell means he can be one of my favourite producers, datsik, excision whatever, do not do this, hence for me i can say i dont like them

Yeah, that's it for me as well.

Not mad about his wobble tunes (although they work well when he's dropping them fairly sparingly in a DJ set) but he just keeps pushing stuff in so many different directions. Including some of his really dark and hard stuff - he's one of the only people out there who can make really ravey big room tunes that aren't just formulaic wobble.

I've seen the sentiment expressed several times, even as a lurker. I couldn't tell whether it was an inside internet forum joke or whether people really held that sort of believe. Roflrilla seemed to be joking.

Just wondering...do people genuinely associate your registration date on DSF with how involved in/knowledgeable you are with dubstep?

Can't speak for Claw but I have not seen many posts by him over the years that were totally serious. To be honest I don't take much that is posted on the internet as serious. If you do your head might explode.

yes. It's pretty much the only thing that actually matters. Noob.
