Tried introducing this one guy to dubstep - made him a mix of Skream, Distance, Mala, Burial - said it sounded like "ambient music" and that Mt. Eden was way better.
I don't introduce people to dubstep anymore.
How do you mean exactly? You do realise there's many other styles and offshoots from the traditional dubstep other than the midrange stuff. Why does listening to them mean that the original dubstep listeners are getting left behind?MIDI-Chlorian wrote:It sucks that the original dubstep listeners are getting left behind, but music changes...

Nebraska here. I feel your pain.Reverb wrote:I'm in Iowa, so I feel you
From what i've gathered a lot of people that liked the original don't like anything but the original, but I could be wrong. It feels like I'm going trough the motions I did when I first started listening to DnB.. The purists and elitists seem to look down upon anything but what they think is good. I'm not saying all the people that liked the original dubstep are elitists but It just seems a lot of people i meet are, I guess I have bad luck.leyenda303 wrote:How do you mean exactly?

i guess you do, bc actual dubstep fans usually aren't purists or elitists. They're just upset by trends that lead up to people like Sonny moore being called a "Founding father of dubstep", and by listening to the music and watching the scene, could have predicted such misstatements and look on... as nobody is able to do anything to correct them... and the word dubstep suddenly means "super aggressive heavy-metal techno at any tempo/groove, because fuck it... dub motherfucking step, man, Womp!" and has nothing to do with dub, garage, or any real vibe whatsoever.MIDI-Chlorian wrote: From what i've gathered a lot of people that liked the original don't like anything but the original, but I could be wrong.

You do realize theres a house subforum on this site, why do you think its there? For shits and giggles? Very few purists and elitists here, most of the ppl here actually like the evolution of their sound and are always eager for new directions, just dont expect them to hop on board for some 15 minute gimmick.MIDI-Chlorian wrote:From what i've gathered a lot of people that liked the original don't like anything but the original,but I could be wrong.

you don't have to be a purist or elitist to be upset by the complete bastardization of something you like
It isn't about hating on aggy tunes or brostep producers
Just the insane amounts of misinformation and bad taste
I guess my only point is they're not looking down on other music and other people for liking that music, they're looking down on the media's godawful coverage and ignorance... the fact that they didn't cover/totally ignored something really amazing
whose influence is directly responsible for hard electro's rise, widespread coverage and misnomer "dubstep"
