"forums are wack, dubstepforum is stupid" - flying lotus

[arktrix45hz]

We are all 'mere mortals' because this is all just underground music. I am not a celebrity, rock star, diva, superhero etc…

THIS x forever.

The putting on pedestals stuff is the same in any musical sub-culture and unfortunately it leads to ego breeding and idioctic statements on both sides of artist and fan.

as proven by the above few posts...

there are nice things being posted on this forum, there's just so much crap you have to dig through to find it. i like the stuff i see when i click the "view your posts" button and the house section is interesting to check but the rest is like your average forum. i just wish there would be a forum with only the good stuff dsf has to offer, the rest can stay behind here. especially all the brostep soundcloud signatures.

They never went anywhere?

If I was sucessful I'd probably hate DSF. I feel like this forum served a much better purpose when dubstep was just starting to kick off, now it's just a place to beg for 320s and caps lock how much you love/hate Skrillex.

[joeki]

People have NEVER begged me for a 320, so now you know how I feel . Only skrillex topics to keep me company.

DSF doesn't seem as strong or tight knit a community it once was

DSF...now it's just a place to beg for 320s and caps lock how much you love/hate Skrillex.

lol! too true tho.

[Drop_Dead]

fly lo music now wack to mah ears

Truth. Dude needs to go back to biting Dilla's discography, and not pandering to indie kids with synth-driven bullshit.

I wouldn't say Cosmogramma was synth driven.. or bullshit. Pattern + Grid Ep possibly a little bit

I'll say to you what I say to everyone who moans at me about the town I live in...

If you don't like it, do something about it to change it and until then, stop moaning because you're not trying to get out of the situation that irritates you...

I'm infinitely more interested in dubstep than DSF and I think dubstep is still healthy and awesome and I'd like to think I have my role in it.. If the forum gets too boring that'll just mean I make more music/look at more porn/play more starcraft. I hardly equate dubstep with the forum.

Too much negativity but you're slating like Seckle said 50000 members, saying that every producer thinks/feels the same way, nice one Rob
Well as for being a retard, guess I won't bother visiting this forum then aight?

Does me saying forums above a certain size become retard magnets mean I think everyone on here is a retard then? Pretty sure I seen some of the mods saying the same thing, you have seen the thread retard magnet right? Forums get so many members then you have too many different conflicting views floating about ppl taking offense at anything it all gets pretty retarded - that said however DSF has a way to go b4 that shit gets as bad as DNB Arena Dogs on acid etc

Its time consuming dealing with the fallout from actually expressing an opinion on here which is why many producers don't anymore they just advertise their latest release or mix etc which is pretty sensible tbh. This place has its moments and its an essential resource for anyone producing or djing but there are so many ppl fishing trying to wind up producers + the same old arguments going over and over again it get tedious

jesus christ dude its a JOKE. its funny because there is an awful lot of skrillex debate here but its also true that there continue to be a lot of great resources here. take 'er easy you dont need to immediately assume the worst.

without a question, the biggest issue with site's like this one is that by virtue of scenes developing at the pace they have, the intimacy does change. so sharing an opinion with 200 people you know well, turns into sharing an opinion with thousands of people you don't. you could argue either side of that in terms of which is better or worse for a musician. support and camaraderie or exposure? everyone has to answer that themselves.

ultimately, music forums will never make everyone happy. its impossible. never forget though, that sites like these nurture influences and the next thing, and the next thing. so for example, there's someone that heard tea leaf dancers, and was inspired by it to write their own track. someone that bought Contact, Love, Want Have.. is now influenced by that album, and probably here posting their tunes. someone that has been waiting for maybe years in a corner of this planet to hear flying lotus or ikonika, probably heard about them on a site like this one first, and will show up to the tourstop. for 5 years this site has made sure that the events sections were a top priority, because we all knew that this thing would grow organically, just as it has.

how many thousands of tunes inspired by burial have you heard on this site. literally hundreds in the dubs forum after untrue came out. is that a bad thing? is it ok to be influenced by burial?

is having a thread on this forum that tells you in detail, how to create sine waved sub bass a bad thing? only to those that are insecure about their creativity.

its not the tools that make the artist. its his/her creative statement that makes the artist.
