Ive been listening for almost 2 years now and I love dubstep. I've seen people talking about it becoming commercial soon and dying out "just like drum n bass". I live in s. florida and the scene isnt too big but i was surprised to see the immense turnout at WMC. This makes me think that it has a lot of life.But whats your opinions on the matter?

methinks you are a bit out the loop mate, no offence

I mean i live in the U.S. so i was looking for opinions of people from London like yourself!

dnb emerged in the early 90s and despite ups and downs is undoubtedly established genre that is strong in london and across the world to this day

dubstep has been around for what over 5 years now and has in the last couple become global, diversified and gained massively in popularity, I see no reason why it won't be around, like dnb is, for years to come

I didnt think dnb was dead thats why i put that in quotes as someone else had said that. But what you've said is good news and puts my mind at ease

Florida: America's wang.

Where ?

Well Dubstep and it's incarnations have been around for at least 9 years in some form now yea?

I wouldn't call that young. Would you call Techno in 1993 young then? I mean it had been around for years, but it's still around now. So is DnB last I checked. You can still buy garage and grime. I know house is still around and now people call it something else(funky), but it's still there.

Alive and kickin man, 10 years from now, there will still be heads making Dubstep. There will be a lot less bandwagon jumpers and hangers on is my prediction.

the beginnings of this started in 2000-2001. its roughly 8-9 years old this year and this summer its bigger and more global than ever. just take a look at the event sections, and remember that 5 years ago, there were only about 5 parties a month , and most of those were in london or the uk only.

i remember a time when you were lucky if someone even posted up 1 rinse fm dj set a week. now there's two 24 hour dubstep radio stations and hundreds and hundreds of sets posted.

anyway, its not like the sound is boring.

You are the MAN!!!

Yep, dubstep is the new DNB!!!!!!

Its days are definitely numbered.

As long as people continue to innovate in the genre, it'll stay around methinks.

breaks is dead

dubstep is dead when chuck norris says so
or
when snoop, elton john, mc hammer and c&s working as a group get a "dubstep" track to number 1 at christmas

one or the other

how did drum and bass dye out? last I checked it was stronger than ever. music cant die the media brings that shit up cuz they suck balls. Dubstep is still growing and the new tunes are fuckin awesome
