perhaps its not to same degree as in many other topics here but what i see in this thread is just another avenue for those that have been around for a while to romanticize about the good old days when dubstep was just dubstep and not a convoluted idea encompassing everything from 'dungeon sound' to 'brostep'. i find this elitist to an extent. now as for pack mentality, two camps are clearly present here, one agreeing with the OP and another disagreeing. im sure u all know that in many other topics these two packs are often much more ruthless to each other and i'll go as far as saying that the reason its not so brutal here is that most of the ppl posting are more mature and realistic than the majority of people still entrenched in the 'brostep'/skrillex etc. topics that really amount to nothing in the end.garethom wrote:What is even slightly "elitist" about any of the opinions here?DREdio wrote:what a way to bow out. opening a thread that results in a whole bunch of the 'elitist' opinions and 'pack mentality' that put u off in the first place.

The "pack mentality" shown? Half the people are bigging him up, and the other half are disagreeing with him? This is the same shit that got to me with plastician's post. People saying stuff that isn't actually true. Either that or they aren't sure what they're talking about themselves.
I agree with your other point though, that's a good analogy. Apparently, we were being "schooled" though.
and complaining about people who troll/bash/rant/complain about brostep, skrillex etc. is more mature?DREdio wrote:perhaps its not to same degree as in many other topics here but what i see in this thread is just another avenue for those that have been around for a while to romanticize about the good old days when dubstep was just dubstep and not a convoluted idea encompassing everything from 'dungeon sound' to 'brostep'. i find this elitist to an extent. now as for pack mentality, two camps are clearly present here, one agreeing with the OP and another disagreeing. im sure u all know that in many other topics these two packs are often much more ruthless to each other and i'll go as far as saying that the reason its not so brutal here is that most of the ppl posting are more mature and realistic than the majority of people still entrenched in the 'brostep'/skrillex etc. topics that really amount to nothing in the end.garethom wrote:What is even slightly "elitist" about any of the opinions here?DREdio wrote:what a way to bow out. opening a thread that results in a whole bunch of the 'elitist' opinions and 'pack mentality' that put u off in the first place.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, but it's not as simple as that is it? If we use tact we can agree to disagree and not drive an entire group of people away imo. If people just bigged up what they loved and left it at that, this place would be awesome. Threads filled only with those who are interested and invested into the topic could go a lot farther than threads that devolve into bashing and snide remarks. What would you visit more, a blog filled with music you care about or a blog that just complains about music it hates? Maybe I'm just ignorantly optimisticFuDuzn wrote:I don't see why it is an issue if someone thinks something is crap, they say it is crap. It seems to only be an issue when someone gets overly sensitive that not every single person likes what you do. Personally I prefer brutal honesty over a bunch of yes men.
And in a genre like dubstep, where the sound can go in a bunch of different directions, you will not please all the people all the time. Make the music you want to make and if it strikes a positive chord with some people but other people dislike it then so be it, just don't cry about it and call people negative for stating their personal opinion.
