It's so nice to see the kids rewriting music history to fit their naive outlook.

ain't that the truth tho.Basic A wrote:OP, I read your post again and wanna cry a little... No. Its poor DJ's who only play filth. When i got into this shit, filth had a serious impact because when you play nice, heady tunes for 10 minutes and drop a banger it has sooo much more impact then it will after an hour of the same wobble noises. Poor DJ's only playing one side = the problem.
you're definitely entitled to your opinion.dameonxz wrote:no seriously not trolling.
Carnival step is that zomby strange fruit song. Not trying to insult your tastes(I guess I am) but you couldn't pay me to listen to that, the sound is like a circus organ with a broke ass kick drum.

All we ask is that you give credit where credit is due, and acknowledge the diversity of taste within the massive umbrella term of dubstep.
i probably would have felt the same as you and your friends when i was younger. i took some time to figure out what people found enjoyable about a music that seemed opaque and unintuitive to me at first. it paid off for me. its not your fault those tunes are over your head.dameonxz wrote: All my friends that listen to rap but are familiar with dubstep offered their opinion that those posted songs all pretty much suck, but love stuff like skrillex and doctor p. The people holding onto that kind of older dubstep are the ones who are probably angry.
I agree with the fact that there should be a better balance between the ends of the spectrum. A dj playing all nasty wobbles all the time would suck and make your ears sore. Appropriate breaks and buildups need to be used to create a tension/relief and give an overall feel to the set. You need contrast to make things heavier.

and no, that strange fruit song blows more dick that literally 99% of music I've heard before dubstep or not.
Im a classically trained guitarist as well, so im not into just in your face music. I've been listening to rock, jam bands, country, jazz, classical and electronica for years studying them to see what makes good music before i even heard of dubstep.
Im not angry either I try and make the sound I want to hear and thats no problem to me. People wanna hear the nasty shit nowadays anyways.

as a note to those who think im unfamilar with dubstep... ive been around the genre for about 3 years now and been to probably at least 30 dubstep sets in my day in addition to like a million other concerts for bands like STS9, umphreys, other festivals where there always additional electronic music. I been producing for about 3 years now too so don't you think i've done some homework?
i cant mock on what you think is nice to listen toThose songs weren't nice to listen to, nothing really cool to analyze in them, I couldn't dance to them, and my gf who loves dubstep would not wanna bone to that.
he uses the same sounds sometimes and uses super cheesey chick vocals but i bet hes better than you... prove me wrong lets see a vid of ur showFitzaaaaaay wrote:Yeah that Skrillex guy has a lot of talent, every song he makes sounds different.
Of course Skrillex is better than me, the ambient flavaz off his tunes man...dameonxz wrote:he uses the same sounds sometimes and uses super cheesey chick vocals but i bet hes better than you... prove me wrong lets see a vid of ur showFitzaaaaaay wrote:Yeah that Skrillex guy has a lot of talent, every song he makes sounds different.
100% correct! No polarizing herepompende wrote:u r no understandz. it isn't two polar opposites. there is a a fucking spectrum.
and there are plenty of tunes with lots of energy and no wobble...

and then like a billion tunes by joker
i guess by "ambient" you meant "provide any sort of atmosphere or mileu" ... sorry but all of the above tunes do that... i just couldn't find any decent tunes that don't
Amen, what's ambient? Also agree about the main forum, which leaves the house forum as the last bastion of hope these days...johnkimble wrote:fucking fuck this is why try to stay away from general nowadays
